Hola! Well this was a pretty good week! I'm nine months out now, a whole pregnancy! Pretty busy with logistical things goin' on but it was really good! We found some really cool people this week who hopefully have potential to progress. It seems like when we do find cool people they always end up not staying cool cause someone convinces them not to talk to us or Satan just really gets at them hard. So hopefully we can see some progress here soon! I'm sending a voice recording that talks about my week in more detail since I'm runnin out of time (below). But I just want to share something that has helped me a ton and I think I should share it. Something someone told me to do a while ago whenever I was facing temptation or really anything, I was told to think about the fact that my future children are watching everything I do and cheering me on and hoping I make the right decision. That is something that changed my life and continues to help me everyday. Well that's all for this week. Talk to you all later! Love you! Elder Zev Harman Also below are some photos from the leadership training and interviews this past week.

Elder Harman didn't have time to write a group email this week, but he did answer a few questions from his Madre. Here we go:
How are things? How are the people you’ve been teaching? Things are good! We are finding some people who might have some potential, so we will see! That's a bummer things didn’t work out with Esther. How's Daniel doing? Yeah we don’t know what happened with Esther. We visit Daniel like once or twice a week. His girlfriend is still working on getting divorced though so we can’t really progress much further right now with him. But they come to church every Sunday and they love it so that’s good! How about the girl you guys found that one day? The one that is the only member in her family? Oh yeah, their grandma died so they went to Cali for like 2 or 3 weeks. They aren’t back yet and we haven’t talked to the family yet. Hopefully we can soon though! What was your biggest challenge this week? I think the hardest challenge this week was we found another super cool investigator, but now they won’t answer the phone or the door. It just sucks because it keeps happening and we don’t know when one is actually going work out. We want success so bad but every time we get close, something happens. Yeah it sucks, but hopefully something works out soon! What was your greatest success? Hmm well, on Saturday we had a goal to get 35 OYMs and we did it! An OYM is basically when you talk to someone and share something about the gospel and invite them to do something to change or something like that. Who has been your favorite person this week? My fav person was a guy named Jose who is only here for the next eight days. We met him on the street and gave him a Book of Mormon. He loved it and immediately started reading it. We came back the next day and he had read almost half of it so that was awesome! Too bad he doesn’t live here. What scripture gave you strength or had the greatest impact on you this past week? Not one specific one, but I have been reading the first few chapters in Alma and they are just awesome. They are a really good example that if we have faith and do what is right, the Lord will deliver us from our struggles. |
