Hellllooooo everybody, this has been a great week in Jogja. Sister Antonio and I have found a lot of success in our wok this week. We decided to be more obedient, more aware of the minor missionary rules that maybe we hadn't totally been following, like waking up at exactly 6:30 or studying the scriptures for a whole hour like we're prompted to do. So... we tried harder to do those things. And we really did see a change in our missionary work. We found 13 new investigators this week, almost all of them referrals. We had many lessons this week and one of our investigators accepted the invitation to be baptised on March 13. A lot of really good things happened, just because we decided to be a little better, to strive a little harder. And that can be the same for anyone, if you try to actively come closer to God, or truly try to be a better person, miracles will come. Of course God is going to help you if you reach out to Him, to be a better disciple, to be more obedient to His commandments. I know that all is going to work out in the end if we all just do our part, to be our best. Nothing can help us the most than being obedient, because God has promised us blessings if we obey, He will not shortchange us or forget us, He will always give us far more blessings than what we sacrifice to be obedient. A member fed us... QUAIL!!! I've had quail eggs here before, but not an actual quail. It tasted like chicken, shocking, right? We had a little too much fun with their disembodies heads. Sorry, little quail... We ate a mystery body part, still not sure what it was, but yummy nonetheless...ENAK! Today two Elders in our District are moving. Our District Leader is moving to Manado (jealous) and the other is going to be a district leader in Surabaya. So, we get two new Elders this today. Selamat datang! Sister Antonio is probably going to move at the end of March, so I'll be sad... WE ate our of coconuts the other day. Apparently it's really healthy. And it's really yummy too! We were waiting for our food. My hair's crazy as always.
