Wow can you believe the week is already over? it went by pretty fast.
i dont really remember what went on this week. all the weeks are
starting to run together. HA the joke for the week is that i am
starting to feel the pains of an old body because i am becoming an old
man!!!
Everyone always asks me how long i have left and it gets less and less
everytime. but i always feel bad when i answer and then they ask elder
ort and he has to say 21 months ha. ii remember when i was at that
stage! it sucks so badly. we are doing better together and we get
along. The only thing is i still feel like our lessons are missing
something and it is the quiet and sacredness of the message. he talks
kind of loud with all the people and forcefully. i went on a trade off
with elder harding and had a great and stress free day because we were
able to talk quietly and calm. it relieves so much of the stress
because people are willing to listen.I do love elder ort though so
dont get me wrong we are having great success and he is a good
missionary.
At times i feel like all i have to do is make it through the next
transfer and things will be great but then i caught myself. and i
realized that that is what makes it hard. It makes me wish my mission
away and i dont want that i want to enjoy every moment i get here. We
are finding so many new people and they are great but the hardest part
is getting them completely interested. I have learned so much and i
just realized how i have gotten over my awkward shyness from home. i
just remember how i wasnt ever able to go up and talk to anyone and i
was scared to talk. now i talk to everyone. and i dont even care if i
get embarrassed because they dont even know me haha. I can talk to
anyone about anything now and the great part is no matter what you can
link it back to our message!
Just the other day we talked to a guy who had a pet monkey on his
shoulder and all we talked about for the first 15 minutes was his
monkey and yet it still turned into a gospel discussion and he even
invited us back. i just hope he will turn into a solid investigator
and then progress. i think that is the hardest part i have is to put
my faith in people and see them progress and not just judge them
before i give them a chance.
other than that the week was full of stress and success you can say
ahha. but i just hope that your week was great and that next week will
be even better. I pray for you and hope that you do the same! i love
you so much.
Love
Elder Nathanial Woodruff!
