P-day in Cuenca
So this last
week we did not work a whole lot like I would have liked but we did get some
things done. So what happened is that my companion got super sick several
months ago and now he has a problem walking. So we were stuck in the house for
2 days and he could not leave and work. I took advantage of the time though,
studying so much in the New Testament and Doctrine and Covenants. Another thing
that happened this week, some sister missionaries arrived in Cuenca Thursday
because one of them was super sick. So when they got to the hospital we had to
bring them food and help them out a bunch. Our leaders here in Cuenca always
tell us that the Elderes priority is the Sister missionaries...and I learned
that as well this last week. But dont worry the Sister is fine now and my
companion is feeling better too. He only has like 3 weeks until he finished his
mission. So I am just trying to help him a ton so he can finish his mission
strong.
So today for P
day we went to Azogues. Its like right outside of Cuenca, and the other Elderes
in our district serve there. We went and hiked some cool mountains and took
some cool pictures. The place was called Cojitamba. It was like an old indian
site where they lived a long time ago. We were up over 10,000ft!
Marcos is doing
great, his baptism is scheduled for this weekend. This Sunday was super special
because I guess he told the Bishop he wanted to join the church...and later the
bishop shared this with us. Its such a great thing to hear because he has been
investigating the church for some time. But that really sealed the deal and we
know now that he is ready for sure.
I wanted to
share one of my favorite quotes with you guys today:
´´Una religion
que no requiere el sacrificio de todas las cosas nunca tiene el poder
suficiente para producir la fe necesaria a fin de llegar a la vida y a la
salvacion´´
Im not sure but
who but I think its Joseph Smith. For those of you that dont speak Spanish: A
religion that does not require sacrifice of all things will never have power
sufficient to produce the faith necessary to reach eternal life and
salvation.´´ Something like that.
I dont have a
bunch of time today to write sorry guys!
Love you!
Elder Solari
