Elder Jakob Lutze: Semana 73 (Tarde Blanca Confirmed 😎 🌊 🔥)

Buenas!!!

The good old 9 day work week has rolled around once more! Can't believe transfers are already here! I'm a wee bit sad though, cause Elder Zepeda is finishing his mission! We became really good friends!

Speaking of Elder Zepeda, we celebrated his birthday this week! We ate and talked with some members, and it was a good time!

We showed up to a 12 year old girl's party. Long story. But yea, that was kinda weird.

CPEC! LETS GOOOOOOO

Real quick, I want to thank everyone for all your prayers! If y'all remember, we're planning a Tarde Blanca. Let me tell ya, it was kinda, most definitely, extremely chaotic to plan this thing. But in the end, there were a ton of miracles that happened! At the tarde blanca, (the 13th of January), there ended up being 11 people that got baptized! And 93 people came to watch! It was a super spiritual day! So awesome!

Well the transfer news is here! Imma gonna stay in Vista Alegre 2 with Elder Clark! I also get to train him in how to be a ZL! So pray for us lots, cause I also have no clue what I am doing

But, it's gonna be a good transfer! Please pray for my zone too! There is a lot of fixing to be done! Jaja!

As for my spiritual thought, in my personal study I love looking for examples of Apostasy or in other words people's bad examples. Because, while we learn a lot from the good examples and what we should do, sometimes we learn more from the bad examples and what we shouldn't do. Two of those examples, as you can guess, are Laman and Lemuel. Something really interesting is how much they complain! About everything! It's just interesting to me because Nephi never complains, and is extremely blessed for it. He is blessed for his patience and his faith. While on the other side, Laman and Lemuel lack patience, faith, and complain a whole whoppin' ton!

As I was reading, I came to realize that they complained so much because of their lack of knowledge. They never prayed and asked God for testimonies or answers. They just decided to complain. And many times we are like that! I'm not saying that we are horrible people for that. But we can always improve! I know God loves it when we don't complain. I know He is always willing to give us answers if we ask! Truly God knows more than us, so let us be faithful and patient!

Anyways. Have a great week everyone! Pray for me and my comp, my people, and my zone! Love y'all lots! Until Next Week!
