It has been a really good week in the work!
We have been having a hard time finding new people to teach and to work
with! We have been praying really hard that we could be able to find
some new people to begin teaching! There is a family of recent converts
that we have been working with alot! Family Figaroa. They are a really
awesome family and have helped us this week with a lot of references
with people to start teaching! One of the families daughter has a friend
that is really interested in listening to us! So they invited her over
to their house Saturday night and we had a little family night together.
It went really well! We taught her the Restoration and the Book of
Mormon. At the end, she asked us how we baptize. Because she was
baptized in the Catholic church was she was just a baby. So we explained
to her how Jesus Christ was baptized, and then explained that if we
dont get baptized in the same way as
Christ, we cant have a baptism that is valid. Then we invited her to be
baptized and she accepted!! Her name is Jessica. I know that Heavenly
Father is listening to our prayers!
We have another lesson with Abraham! He is
doing really well! and progressing a ton! He just doesnt see it. We
taught him the Plan of Salvation. It went really well! And in the plan,
we explained the Word of Wisdom as well! Turns out he is clean! haha!
and at the end of the lesson, we put a date for him for the 7 of
December! He says that he will prepare to be baptized this day haha so
not really much we can do there!
We have had some really good lessons this past
week with new investigators and new things happening. It has been
really good! We had another lesson with the less active family that I
told you about the last week. We caught them with all of their family
and we had not really planned anything to share with them. I felt that
we should share something about Jesus. I shared a scripture about the
life of Jesus and his purpose for you and me (Mosiah 3) It went really
good, this family has been trying to reactivate themselves for a long
time! I could see the look on their faces that it was time to start
changing!
I have been learning so much here in the
mission, more than I have in my whole life! I have learned how much I
love each and every one of you and how important this Gospel is in our
lives. That Change is apart of life, and we need to roll with the
punches and let our faith and love for God pick us back up. Humility is
something that has been the biggest change for me. Being humble is the
hardest attribute that we can learn in this life, but when we do, all
the others come with it. I know that this Gospel is true, and I am so
thankful for each and everyone of you. I love you all.
