Perhaps
the title for this blog is a bit generic but this week really was a good one.
It was better than usual. I guess I should say because every week is
good. Sometimes they are harder and sometimes they are easier, but they
are always good.
Last
week the little ward of Barretos out did themselves by having a fast and
testimony meeting (a meeting where all members can share what they believe for
everyone else) in which there was never silence. It is funny how sometimes in
wards that have 250 people in the meeting, there is dead time, but in this ward
that had 57 people in the meeting, everybody wanted to get up and bear their
testimony. It was pretty cool. And then after the meeting, everyone
stayed a little bit longer than usual to chat. That is a sign of
progress!
This
week we found two families that the biggest problem they had with our message
was that they don't believe in organized religion. I thought it was very
sad to see how people can make others really disillusioned with something that
should be a force for good in the world. It is sad to see when people loose
hope in something that they clearly wanted in the past. So you shouldn't
loose hope in something just because other people are sometimes not all that
they should be. It isn't a very good life plan to let other people affect your
happiness.
I hope you all have a good
week! I love you all!
