Notice: Please forgive any or all of the English mistakes. I don´t speak English very well any more.This past week was cold for caraca!!!! I have never felt so exposed to the cold on a 24 hour bases. But, I am thankful for the Sisters in the ward that have been gathering together extra blankets for us to escape the cold.
This past week has been very eventful.
When I was at the temple, I ran into one of Andrew Dougherty´s companions. (Andrew is one of buddy´s from my Ward in Virginia that served in Fortaleza.) On Saturday, we took a couple that we are teaching to the temple. I was in divisions with the Zone Leader, Elder Bryon, (we have been living together for the past two transfers). We were in the bathroom in the visitor center. This guy say hi to us and we started chatting and he asked where we were from and then we made the connection. He showed me a picture of Andrew on his phone and I was like yep that´s him. We stopped right there and took a photo in the bathroom. (Hint, you can see Elder Bryon taking the photo in the mirror.) It was super cool small world moment.
I had a really busy week. Here are some exciting things that happen this week.-I had division with Elder Sodré. He is going home in three weeks, so I got to see a missionary with a lot of experience and work with him.-Going to the temple with Junior and Crisitan. -Going to do some baptism interviews in a neighboring ward. Three people got baptized!!! That night was really cold.
I had a really busy week. These are some things that made me happy.
This past week, I started looking on the positive. There are a lot of really positive things happening in my mission that I love. Now that it has been ten months. I just want to keep concentrating on the positive and helping people. Elder Bryon shared a thought with me this week. Satan can not read our thoughts. He does not have that power, but he can see when we are not happy, when we are crying, and we are not loving. That is when he attacks us with more temptations and problems. So, when we act and look like we are happy, slowly we start thinking and being happy. That is how we can beat the sadness or negativity within us. We also rely on our Savior Jesus Christ, who fills our hearts with love, understanding, and strength to keep going. I am loving the mission not because I do everything perfectly, but because I am focusing on the positive, focusing on being happy, and focusing on the loving people. Thank you all for your love and support. Promise to write more next week.com amor,Elder Pinkney
