We had family night with our recent convert Katya and talked about gratitude. Be grateful even in trials because trials are blessings that helps us progress and become more like our Father in Heaven. In the recent general conference, Stanley G. Elis said, "Hard is the constant; the varaible is the reaction to hard." In Doctrine and Covenants 29:5 it says, "Lift up your hearts and be glad, for I am in your midst." We taught a new investigator who told us he felt less burdened when we sang a hymn, prayed, and talked about God. We sat outside surrounded by trees and his little veggie garden. When it got dark, he brought out a flashlight and it felt like we were sitting around a campfire :) Ate lunch on a bed at a member`s house because it is very tiny with no floor space. I love these people. As a zone, we helped the elders in El Retiro. They gave us maps of their area, and we had an appointment with a less active in their ward. Saturday we took a tour bus for a ward activity to Cumorah, a church campsite. We helped serve lunch, drank "Mate" (a foamy herbal tea they put in a "matera" cup and pass around), and played"paletas" (similar to pickleball).
