Wow! It has been a good week here in the
work! We have seen some milagros here! haha. We have been working here
pretty well! The ward here is great! The members have actually helped us
out a lot lately! I cant believe how fast time is going! 13 months in
the mission! It has gone by so fast! To think that I was in the MTC this
time the last year! I cant believe it!
We
started off the week really well, As companions, we sat down Tuesday
morning
and planned to invite every one of our investigators that we have to
baptism. That day we went with the family that I told you guys about the
last week! Claudia, Arlet and Emanuel. We had a really good lesson with
them. We taught about the first vision of Joseph Smith and at the end,
committed them to baptism for the 15th of February! They are such a good
family! We all get along really well, but the best part is that they are
looking to change!
Later that day, we to see an old
investigators of mine from the time that I got here in the area, Felix.
He is like 60 years old and has been to church with us a couple of
times. He has been doing pretty good but has never showed this much
progression before. We felt that we should invite him. We put him on
date for the 15 of February also!
The next day we went to an
investigator that is from a part member family in our ward. I think I
might have told you about her, Mayra. She is 22
and lives with members. We had one really good lesson with here about
the Restoration, and we watched the video of the First Vision. After, we
invited her to be baptized and put her on date for the 15th as well!! I
hope that she will be able to keep her date! She has been in teaching
for a while! But hopefully this will be the last time!
The
other night we went with another part family investigator who lives like
right behind our house. His wife has been member all of her life and
she married her husband Ivan who is not a member of the church. We went
and had a first lesson with them and like before, we taught lesson 1! We
taught the First Vision and invited him to be baptized at the end of
the lesson. He his on date for the 22 of February!! His wife was super
happy when we left the lesson! They have been together for 4 years and
he has never accepted the missionaries before!
We have
received some references from our ward
and we went to go and do some contacting this week! From the 2 that we
contacted, we put one more on date for the 2 of march! Her name is
Neomi! We had a great lesson with her and she looks like she is going to
progress really well!
Well this week was
also a week of exotic foods also!! So there is a dish here that they eat
in all of Mexico! called mondongo. It's the stomach of the cow!!!! And
everyone has told me how good it is and how great it tastes!! Oh man!!!
It was awful!!! Luckily we ate with the bishop and his family so they
understood when I politely said no thanks...haha and the other day we
ate turtle!! I only had a little bit but mostly just to say that I got
to try it! It was alright. Just really different... like I cant describe
it!
I hope that we can continue with the success that we are having in this area! I miss all of you guys so much! Love You all!!
