Everyone,
Hey!!!
This week was pretty busy.. We had our big conference
and the assistants stayed at our house the night before and yeah just nutso
stuff.
In the conference and in general, the mission has been focusing a lot in Self Reliance.. It’s actually a really interesting subject. It’s got a lot to do with providing stuff temporally and not depending on anyone else. It’s also got some cool principles when you apply it spiritually. Like what would be someone spiritually self-reliant? A missionary? That’s more of what we have been focusing on. It’s been nice to do too as a leader because sometimes I have no idea what to do as a leader and if I can just help the missionaries all be self-reliant and help them in that process then that will help them more than anything. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
So we stopped teaching the English classes because no one was coming.
Since my old companion left, people thought we weren’t going to have them
anymore and it’s just died since then. Hopefully in the future we can have more
success with that.
So it’s started raining again!!! It’s pretty exciting. Lucky
I picked up a good jacket at my old house and it saved my bum yesterday on the
way to church. So far it’s only really rained in the night besides yesterday
but I hope it doesn’t during the day more because that could make the work hard...
We are teaching some really cool families right now. We
should have a bunch of baptisms in a few weeks if they go to church. It’s been
really fun meeting them and teaching them though.
I love you all and have a great week!!!
Love,
Elder Marrott
1. How’s the weather
there now?
It’s pretty hot during the day and it rains usually really hard
during the night. Still not crazy storms yet but maybe that was only
Cuautla. It rained yesterday in the morning though before church. That was
nuts..
2. What is the
hardest thing for people to get over so they can be baptized?
COME TO CHURCH!!!
It’s so frustrating. Then it’s kind of a struggle, and if they have a good
experience there. Takes a lot of effort.
3. What’s your
favorite thing about your companion?
What bugs you the most?
He contacts a ton which is good because I don’t
really like to contact.
He’s too punctual and uptight about some things.
4. Do you have toys
on your desk? What are they?
I have that
spinny light thing, but my comp broke it from spinning it too fast and letting
it crash like 10 times... and like 5 rubix cubes :P
5. What’s your
favorite taco stand?
We don’t have one here yet....:(I´ll go looking here
today)
6. What pet are you
keeping now?
Just some cool dogs at a few different houses :)
7. How much time to
you spend as Zone leader and how much time teaching?
Most days are almost all
teaching. It’s the nights that are busy with dats and stuff. Then Tuesdays are
tough. And just like any emergency, we drop everything and go sometimes. Mostly
the nights though....
8. How did your big
Zone conference go?
Really good! It was just about all the missionaries last
time seeing President and Hermana Kusch. I’ll see them again at the next leader
council. We talked about Self-Reliance and also the Book of Mormon. Its super
cool
9. When you get
together for a conference, do you go out to eat or does someone bring in food?
They told us ahead of time how many people would come and we had a Hermano from
the ward help us out with the food and we just paid him. They brought it to the
church
10. Do you get a lot
of attention because of how tall you are?
I think they think all Americans are
as tall as me. But yeah sometimes. Kind of just as much as the united states
though. I stand out cause I’m white more lol.
