Well it was another good week here in
Parrilla! So we have been working really hard this past week just on
getting to know the área and finding all of the less active members and
old investigators that are in the área book! So basically, we have
walked our freaking butts of this past week! We have a huge área! but
its an área with a lot of potential! there are so many people that are
ready to get baptized and hear about the church! This past week we have
been walking around with a Ward directory and basically walkin from
neighborhood to neighborhood finding people and contacting! It has been
ok! Not my favorite thing to do but someone has to do it! Haha. My
Companion asks me all the time "why do we walk so much" and says haha
"its so hot". Well this heat that we have right now is NOTHING compared
to what is to come! And well we do walk a lot. I do feel kind of bad
about that but its all about learning haha.
Well we have found some pretty good
investigators this past week! Our first one is Yarelli. She is 10 years
old and her family is an inactive family. We have been visiting them the
past week and Yarelli has done nothing but say how much she wants to
get baptized! So we talked with her mom and the bishop and the first
thing that has to happen is they all need to come back to church! So we
have been putting goals and things with them so they can have something
to work towards! Yarelli has a baptizm date for the 26th of October!
We have another investigator, David. His wife
just got baptized and he has been coming to our church I guess for a
long time! Im not reallly sure why he has not been baptized. He is a
good guy. I have only talked with him a couple of times at church
activites and yesterday during church, but the Bishop told me that he is
really prepared and is ready to be baptized!!
This área has so
much more too! Just a Little bit more time and I think we will be
seeing some real progress! Something that I have noticed the past week
here working, is that our diligence and obedience is everything! We have
been so exhausted lately! It has been so hard to get out of bed
sometimes! But we have noticed a difference in the days that we do
everything in the right time and the days that we get up late or do
something else. It is something so small but it can have the biggest
difference! The Ward that we are in are all really good people! We had a
really good Sunday turnout. We had 140 people at church! Thats the most
that I have had since I left Utah!! When people ask me how many do I
have in my Ward! haha.. they about have a heart attack! If you have more
than 100 here, you are massive!
Everything is going good! We are gettin there!
Just got to work a Little bit more each day and we will start to see
results! I love and miss you all!
