Super Pday...NOT!

Hola familia,

Sooo basically today we had this really complex schedule lined up because we had an extra little assignment to do on our pday today. I scheduled a car service for Hermana Collado´s car today without thinking about how it was pday, so we went through with it anyway. After all was said and done, we finished there after basically all day with a few other things we had to take care of, at 5:00.... Which leaves us with like nooooo time... Woooohooooo! haha Best pday yet...NOT! But it is sort of my fault, soooooo whoooopsie.

Anyway this week was a real emotional rollercoaster and I really wish I had more time to write about it. Since I know that you are really wondering about conference, it was really good but also really disappointing. The week before, we had like hardly any time in the area like I mentioned, but as we looked back on all of the people that we had committed to conference, it was actually quite a bit. We enjoyed Saturday of conference, and didn't have any investigators because we didn't really plan ahead to invite any, we mainly focused on Sunday. I got to watch it in English on Saturday because we didn't have any investigators so that was kind of nice I guess.....

Then came Sunday morning, where we had planned out this foolproof path so that we could pass  all of our investigators in the morning and help them remember about conference. Without fail, every house told us that either someone was sick and they couldn't go this week, or that no one was home. So...we had 0 investigators at church. That was really hard. Then I was there, really disanimated and in walks Elder Rodriguez (he had transfers to Managua a little while back) and I talked to him for a bit. He tells me about how he has 15 investigators there to watch the Sunday morning session!!!! I was really impressed and happy for him, but then I thought about it and got really depressed... He kind of saw that and tried to tell me that it wasn't my fault that no one wanted to come, and that I shouldn't blame myself, and that is totally true. But for some reason, I just got emotional (embarrassing) right there in the church building for the whole building to see. I don't really know why, I think it was just because I wanted to be having more success. But after a bit, I remembered that I had only had about 8 hours total all week in the area to work. So all I need to do is make it so that I can have more time in the area and I will have more success. Anyway, I watched the Sunday session in Spanish. With the mix of being really down, and not to mention suuuuper tired, with the constant sound of crying babies and Nicaraguans that can't pay attention for more that 5 minutes without getting distracted, I wasn't able to pay attention super well on Sunday. But I did catch most of the really important stuff for me!

My favorite talk was from Elder Bednar. It is so true that we are really here as missionaries sharing something that has blessed our lives so much. I loved how he talked directly to the investigators (that I didn't have in the church) about how missionaries and members are so enthusiastic and persistent in sharing because they know that it will bless the lives of their brothers and sisters around the world. I totally changed my way of teaching after hearing that talk. I now try to focus my teaching a lot more in helping them understand the blessings that they can have through the gospel, the blessings that I have had! It has really made me love the work a lot more too! It makes me want to ditch the office duties a lot and head out to work in the area.
Sadly that didn't really happen this week... It was another busy one in the office :/ but I'll figure things out.

Anyway got to go!!

Love, Elder Moser
