Changes, changes,
changes!
I’m sure that’s not how they
say it in the states, but here in Spanish they say cambios, and cambios were
yesterday! I did not get changed! I am still in Camana and I will be here for
another 6 weeks! I’ve been loving life here, preaching the gospel and sharing
the light with others for 6 months! And I’m so happy to be here for another 6
weeks.
A few changes have been
made and I haven’t mentioned them yet. The
time here writing just passes by so fast.
I am now district leader
here in Camana! There are two districts
and I’m the leader of one of them, I will give training classes every Tuesday
and record the number of lessons my district has and I will just have a great
ole time!
I am also the English leader here in Camana, I
am in charge of 11 Latinos that need to learn English and they are under my responsibility
to learn English.
My companion, Elder Blanco,
recently changed his last name to Ramos, which is the last name of his mom. So in my future letters I will address him as
Elder Ramos.
Well in Camana this week
we had some swell moments:
As Elder Ramos and I were
walking this past week we saw a middle aged woman doing some really hard yard
work. (Try saying that 5 times fast).
Never refusing an opportunity
to serve we asked her if she needed help. She replied, "No, God has given me sufficient
strength, well the true and real God."
Well, that was quite the
nice way to respond to someone offering to help.
The woman that said that
to us happened to be the woman that told us last week to pray and repent to the
virgin.
Elder Ramos asked me why
we returned to ask her if she needed help if the very first time we even saw
her she told us false doctrine. I told
him that tomorrow is a new day and if we see her again we will ask her to help
her again.
I really love the
scripture in 1 Nephi 19:9-
And the world, because
of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they
scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea,
they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his
loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children
of men.
Help others. Do something great this week. Do something great, but involve Christ in it.
Chao
Elder McCook
Words of the week:
ayudar a otros - help others
