A funny experience from this week. Elder Rudder and I were walking in the street when we saw a bunch of kids playing soccer ( like they always do!) so we stole the ball from them to play for a bit. We did a couple of tricks with the ball and the kids sat there like WOW! Then they started to chant Messi! Messi! Messi! Then we gave them cards that have a picture of Jesus and they came and asked us for our signatures on the back!! haha instead I wrote the address of the church. I think I'm pretty sneaky sometimes haha.
One of the best parts about being a missionary is the spirit that you feel everyday. This week we've had a couple of people in lessons and contacts start to attack the church and the Book of Mormon. Or they try to use different things to prove that what we teach isn't true. There are many times when I don't have an answer to their questions, but I always feel the spirit so strong when I can simply say that I have received an answer from God and I know its true. Its such a blessing to have revelation in our lives. Every day I feel so inadequate, I don´t feel smart enough, I feel like I can't handle the responsibility of being a missionary of God and then the spirit reminds me that I can't. But thats ok because we are never alone in this work. Christ can perfect us in our weakness and shortcomings.
This week as we taught about the plan of salvation with a new investigator Fernando he said. ´I don't regret one bit letting you guys in my home. What you are saying to me sounds so familiar. Its like I was searching for this but I didn´t even know it.¨
Thank you all for your love and support.
Love, Elder Starkey
