This has probably been the weirdest week yet! Monday was
INSANE! with traveling all the way home from san pablo and all. Then tuesday we
got punted literally all day. I think we taught 2 lessons...so sad. Wednesday
we also got punted all day, and taught 1 lesson. Thursday my companion got
super super sick. And she was sick friday and saturday. Poor thing. I think the
stress got to her body and it all just hit her. We stayed in most of those 3
days because she was extremely exhausted. I had lots of study time and
planning. And self-assessing. Pretty sure too much self-assessing is really bad
for your self-esteem. Last week was hard, I realized just how much working. I
love working, I hate being inside. But this week will be better! We have tons
of appointments and back ups.
I really had a hard time deciding how to handle last week.
I decided it would be best just to let my companion have some time. We talked a
lot and I heard ll about what she's been through. Understandably, she did not
feel up to much. She is already doing better, though. Thank you for your
prayers for the Tacloban missionaries and members. I cannot imagine how hard it
is for my companion to just go straight back to work after all that. I love her
and respect her so much for her example.
I finished the Book of Mormon this week- I LOVE it. Really
I do. I feel so much love for my Savior as I read his teachings. My desire has
grown so much to help other people receive guidance and peace from it. I've
been focusing a lot on the Book of Mormon in my teaching. That's basically all
we've been teaching the last few weeks. So many more of my investigators have
progressed because of our focusing on it. Once someone receives that personal
witness that it's true, the rest falls into place. It is so inspired. I know
it's true!
Love,
Sister Gaspar de Alba
