Well the title of this email comes from a BYU speech from David A Bednar, it's a very good talk and I'll put the link at the bottom.
Anyways what a week, honestly our sector or area is going through a little rough patch right now. We have probably invited the most people to be baptized and to church this week that I ever have and no one accepted the invitation to be baptized and no one came to church.
This past week we had a Zone Conference though which was a good time to kind of spiritually, physically and mentally reset about the week. I didn't really learn anything, but was reminded of a lot of things to apply to the missionary work. It was also cool to see a bunch of my friends on the mission. My trainer, Elder Velasco is going home this transfer and it is weird to see him go. I remember being with him and realizing that he was a very young trainer but was probably one of the funnest 3 weeks of my mission I had.
This week we also had a Stake Conference and President Taylor came up to me and told me to translate Hermana Taylor's talk which just ended up being a very brief testimony which was very nice considering it was a very big stake conference.
I honestly don't have much more to write, I am a little lost or confused as to why the sector is going good right now since we are working the hardest we ever have and also trying to be the most obedient that we can. I understand that the Lord has miracles prepared for us and people ready, we just gotta keep on inviting and finding. A quote that has helped me a ton is "shooters gonna shoot".
Love you guys, I hit 20 months today in the mission which is pretty crazy. It's going pretty quick
