hola!
its been pretty hot up here this week, it was in the low 90's and i thought we were going to die! thats alot hotter than our usual 70. i have never been so excited to see the clouds come back to cool it off!
this last week we found a family of 3 and had a great lesson with them and put them on date! but then we woke up the next morning with a voicemail from them and they dropped us, which was really sad but we are still working on getting back in contact with them to help them progress again. we have also been trying to teach a man who came to church 2 weeks a go and brought his two nephews with him. we went over last night and put them all on date for aug 25th! they are great im excited to work with them.
this last week elder smith and i realized some pretty cool things. in preach my gospel there is a line that says " we need to be Christlike missionaries, not just do missionary things" (or something really close to that) and it got us thinking about our desires as missionaries. in life if we desire something we thing about it, if we think about it it will happen. so if you desire baptizing you will think about baptizing and then you will baptize. this really goes for anything in our life, if we desire to do it we will begin to think about it and then those thoughts will turn to action. it made us realize that we need to direct our thoughts more toward baptizing and our purpose as missionaries. this is something that i realized will help me no matter what stage of life i am in, because if we direct our thoughts toward christ like things we will all begin to be more christ like. this is just something that we have been thinking about this last week and i thought you all might like to hear about it because i know that it really made me think about what my thoughts, and were i am directing them to where they need to be.
well i hope you all have a great week!
love you
elder berry
