Week 2 in Argentina
Argentina is wonderful. We have a lot of opportunities to teach and to find new investigators. The problem is getting in the house a second time. People are fine if you teach them once but rarely will they let you in again. They always say they're busy. We call ahead to see if its ok if we come by and they say it is, so we go over, clap on their gate, they answer and say they're too busy. We will then reschedule and ask if anyone in the area needs help with anything or wants to here the message. We get a lot of new references everyday and try to visit them in an hour.
I have been reading in Doctrine and Covenants. I recently read in section 42 where it talks about missionary work. In verse 4, we receive the commandment to serve. All of you back home, who are worthy and ready to serve get going and prepare. For those of you who aren't worthy, get worthy and then serve the Lord. In section 35 verse 15, it says the Lord calls the weak, to go and thrash the nations with His word. We all need to be prepared to serve the Master. Somewhere else it also says, the Lord will forgive us of our sins when we serve whole heatedly. How many times, does this happen. Not many. When Elder Holland came and talked to us, he said we have been called since the Pre-Existence to serve where we are called. We have two years out of eternity to fulfill this Celestial calling. We will look back on this section of our life for all of eternity, So lets make it count. I know Heavenly Father loves us and wants to give to us. Section 38 verse 39 tells us this very plainly.
~Elder Maddox II
