"If someone isn't what others want them to be, the others become angry. Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but non about his or her own."
- Paulo Coelho
It has been a great week of working the sector this week! I actually had a crazy week because there is something that goes on here called "jovenes combatientes." Basically, the teenagers go crazy and destroy stuff for a day because of something that happened in history a LONG time ago. But, all is well. We just had to come home earlier. But, it was a great week to work and talk to people. The weather seems to be changing unfortunately which means that I will start to burn again in the sun.
But, this week was awesome! I received exchanges and got a new companion named Elder Torrejón from Peru. He is a great guy! We are already amazing friends, and we are tearing it up in this sector. We have been able to find all kinds of new people to teach!
We did something a little different this week. We set up a booth to talk with people. We were there for 2 hours in the morning, and I can't believe all the nasty things that people said to us. It hurt a lot. But, as I was lost the desire to continue talking, I felt a voice penetrate my soul that said, "They have not rejected you... they have rejected me." It was a moment for me to really feel how our Father in heaven must feel. It was sad, but I know that we were doing our job. For that, I am grateful to be here.
I love you all and hope that you all have a great week.
Elder Gale
