Week 68 - My Zone Is The Best Zone

 Happy P-day!

I hope everyone is doing well. This week has been super great! The zone had 4 baptisms and we taught a bunch of lessons. Everyone is progressing well. This zone is definitely the greatest zone in the Fort Worth Mission, and I'm not saying that because I'm biased, but because it's TRUE. All these missionaries love to work and they work hard and have a good time while they do it! 

This week we did some service at the Buddhist Temple (I always forget to take pictures there). 

This week I've been studying a lot about diligence. It's such an important attribute to acquire. Diligence is probably one of the greatest Christlike attributes a missionary can have. When you are diligent you work hard, don't get distracted, and you focus on the Savior. While being diligent we can feel so much joy. Joy in the knowledge that we are serving the Lord and gathering Israel. 

Sorry this email is short, but that's kind of the way I like it. I hope y'all have a blessed week. 🤠 Let me know if you've had something awesome happen this past week! 

Love y’all lots,

Elder Delgado 

P.S. The only pictures I have are silly workout ones, I'll try to take more pictures next week.

Week 67 - Victory!

Happy Day! 

 
This week has been so fun and a little chaotic! But all and all we came out with a big dub (dub = W = Win = Victory). 
 
Last P-day we attended a funeral for Sister Naeta. She was a senior missionary who unexpectedly passed away. As a Tongan speaker, I gathered all the other Tongan speakers in the mission and we sang a song for the funeral service. It was a sad day but we sang one of my favorite songs called Fakaofa Kiate Au. 
 
The next day I started feeling a little sick... and then the next day I started having all the same symptoms someone would have if they contacted COVID! So, I got in contact with the mission nurse and she had my companion and I quarantine and get tested for Corona Virus. I got tested and the next day I got the results back. It came back negative, which I was so relieved to hear. If it would have came back positive the whole Fort Worth Zone and all the people I came in contact with at the funeral would of had to quarantine too!
 
For the next couple of days after that, we were still told to self isolate until I felt back to normal which brings us to today!  Within this quarantine we were able to share the Gospel through technology and teach lessons. We even have one of our friends scheduled for his baptism in February! 
 
I'm so grateful for technology and the aid it gives us in these hard times. God's work is still pressing forward possibly stronger than it was before. I'm also grateful for the spectacular missionaries in the Fort Worth Zone. They are so diligent and hard working, and the work is showing! 
 
I hope y'all enjoyed your past week, and I hope you have an even better one to come.
 
Ofa atu,
