But this week was our best week so far teaching wise! We got in to a more houses and we are finding lots of people. President Silva just wants us to find new people all the time so we can just cut at will if we want. The theory is that if we make a goal to find news every day you will eventually get to have such a big teaching pool that it will be easy to weed out the ones who really want it and those who dont because you wont have time to teach all of them and you are going to find the elect. And it is going great!
So sonia came to church this week which was awesome but there are two wards in our building and because lunch here is like super important one startes at eight thirty and the other at 9. It is weird and really confusing so when she got here early a member was the first to see her and just grabbed her and threw her right in with the other ward! Haha so it ended up working out alright. We were in a PEC meeting so we just thought she didnt even come to church haha. Then after we find out she was just with the other ward and the other missionaries. But it all worked out in the end!
Last week Elder Reid and I made a goal to talk with WAY more people because our pool is really tiny so we literally talked with everyone last week and this week also and the Lord is definitely blessing us! Out of the blue we found some less actives we can now teach and hopefully get back to church and we are finding people who are letting us come in at least wich is great! One thing I am learning here is that obedience and hard work, however painful it may be in the exact moment, in the future you will be able to look back and see how it payed off. The long weeks of knocking doors in the beginning have now totally payed off! We started out having two people to teach and that was it but now our pool is getting big and we spend a lot more time teaching and not as much just knocking doors. Yeah it took five weeks but it payed off! And in relation to anything with the Gospel it is the same way. We always have to be diligent! This whole life seems like a long time to work hard and be diligent but when it is all over we are gonna look back and think how crazy it is that time is passed by so fast.
But everything is going great and i cant believe i hit my year mark in two days! That is insane. I didnt even know how to say hi in portugues a year ago haha. The mission is amazing!
But I love you all and hope this next week is awesome!
Love Elder Keller
