The week went well, were really feeling the heat here in Batangas, its definetly summer here in the hottest Zone in the mission, i'm sweating pretty bad just typing this letter to you here in the internet shop. but I smile because of the week we had, it went well, we had MLC, it was just a continuation of the things we've been working on, working with members, helping them fulfill their responsibilities, and we got a really great workshop on consecration by President Peterson, it has been really good to see the difference in life as a companionship as we really try to consecrate ourselves a little deeper to this work. The blessings just kind of flow. I got a chance this week as well to help an elder who really is having a rough time giving up his will, he had that one foot at home and one in the mission, and its kind of ate away at him until now, we talked about goals, and what he wants to be, then we talked about faith, and consecration, and how every choice we make reflects our faith in Jesus Christ, I think he gets it, and im excited to see him act on it.
We really focused at MLC on setting goals, having a vision, and as ive talked to more and more Elders they really just don't have a vision, they go out every day without a goal or a vision of what they want to happen, and thats why their effectiveness just drops as missionaries that's why the Zone is the way it is right now, so we really worked this week and will continue to work on getting a vision from each companionship, its an eternal principle, got sets goals, he has a vision, and he dosent just quit there, he has plans detailed to a T on how its all going to work, its very clear in the scriptures, and thats what were really going to focus on, having a Zone vision,and each area having a vision to acheive the vision we set out for as a Zone.
It was a good, week, alot of revelation, and alot more focus, Im excited to see it all happen through the Lords help over the next few weeks.
I had a dream about disco skating, it was hard to shake it from my thoughts, but it'll just be that much sweeter in a few months.
Love you all!
