Hey family and friends! This week was
interesting to say the least...we had some problems with some elders...glad
they’ll stay in the mission, lots of crazy stuff. Also being the last week of
transfers there were a lot of meetings with the office missionaries and President
and Sister Tavares.
As far as work is going we are seeing some
progress. We are teaching a mother and her 20 year old daughter from Angola.
They really want to be baptized but don’t have a break from work on Sundays. We will talk to their bosses this week. Also
Antonio is progressing but has some problems with the commandments that we are
working on. Also, Paula and Nilton went to the government office to be married
but still have more to do before they can. They have a great attitude about it!
They are a great example of just putting faith in the Lord and knowing that he’ll
bless us.
We had dinner with President and Sister
Tavares with all the office missionaries on Sunday. They asked the
missionaries who were leaving the office to tell their funny stories and
experiences while on the mission. Man, I feel like the mission is just 2 years
of awkward moments!
The spiritual thing I relearned this week is
that we are on the team that will win in the end. There are angels on our side
that are there to help! When we were teaching Antonio I thought of this analogy
I always used as a kid... we can’t wear both teams’ jerseys in the game of life.
We need to choose which side we are on. When we choose we have a better vision
of where we need to go and what we need to do. Of course, in the game we will
make mistakes and fall down but the thing that is important is the team we
choose to be on, Heavenly Father’s team....the team that we know will win in
the end.
Until next week,
-Elder Herrmann
