Week 46 - The Great Ammon

Hey everyone!  Today is Monday.  Today is Monday.  Monday P-Day!  I have no clue if you guys know that song but we use that to teach English here.  Anyways, hope you all are doing well.  As for me I´m pretty happy that the States beat Peru in a friendly match.  Otherwise I would be hearing a lot of crap from everyone.  And I also got a pizza out of it.  Pretty cool.

Not much happened this week.  Today we had our zone meeting and there were some pretty good insights there.  Mostly what I liked was when we read in Alma 18 about Ammon

​ 16 And it came to pass that Ammon, being filled with theSpirit of God, therefore he perceived the thoughts of the king. And he said unto him: Is it because thou hast heard that I defended thy servants and thy flocks, and slewseven of their brethren with the sling and with the sword, and smote off the arms of others, in order to defend thy flocks and thy servants; behold, is it this that causeth thy marvelings?
 17 I say unto you, what is it, that thy marvelings are so great? Behold, I am a man, and am thy servant; therefore, whatsoever thou desirest which is right, that will I do.

18 Now when the king had heard these words, he marveled again, for he beheld that Ammon could discern

​ ​his thoughts; ​
​More than anything this is what I liked.  As missionaries this is what we need.  We need to be able to discern the needs of our investigators to be able to help them best.​  And to be able to do that, we need the spirit with us.

There was a lot more in that chapter that we learned from as well.  So this week we visited one of our investigators Marco.  The appointment we had wasn´t so great...  It seems like he doesn´t really pay atention or something.  He also cut us short for an ´´emergency´´.  Hopefully we can get better results with him this week.

So this coming week our Mission President is coming to have interviews with the zone.  After the interviews he is going to go with 2 companionships for an hour to an appointment.  It just so happens that he is going to be with us from 7-8.  We are going to go to some less actives that aren´t married so hopefully President can help us with them.  Pretty excited for him to come with us.

That´s about it this week.  Have a good one.  Take care, good luck.  Love you all, thanks for all the support.  The church is true.
