So Tuesday we had a
sweet District Class. I asked Elder Arancibia to share a little bit about how
no effort goes unseen before the eyes of the Lord. It’s true every word and
action does something for the eternal progression of them! So it was cool. And
I talked about the importance of using the Book of Mormon in the teaching
because if it’s true then everything else is that has to do with the church! Isn’t
that awesome! Great book. Oh and we are reading it as a mission in 3 months,
and we are gonna end it this week! I’m in Ether. So I’ve learned a lot from
that lately! Then later on Tuesday we taught our family that is gonna get
baptized this Saturday. And then after we went to the church to play some
soccer for sports night. So it was great.
Then Wednesday We did
a lot of contacts and taught some good lessons. We found the dad to a family. He
doesn’t work on Wednesday. They are super great, they live on top of this huge
hill. But the only thing is that they aren’t married so we gotta work with
that. I also did a mini exchange with Elder Glazier. So it was great. We taught
some good lessons. We stopped by the Verdugo family, the family that is getting
baptized this Saturday to watch a movie but they didn’t have a DVD so she had
made a potato casserole thing so we ate dinner with them and talk to them a
little bit about their baptisms. So they were way stoked to be baptized.
Then Thursday in the
morning Elder Glazier and I we did some contacts then took our lunch to the
office to switch back with our comps, and it was Elder Millers birthday he is
one of the assistants. And so they left to go to a restaurant. And then Elder
Arancibia and I walked back home because we had another mini exchange because
they had to interview the family for their baptisms. So we did a 3 way
exchange. I went with Elder Lopez to Lorenzo Arenas. So we worked there all day
and I interviewed Pablo for baptism. He was sweet he was way ready to be
baptized. He had a huge testimony and a huge smile on his face the whole time!
So it was cool. And before that Elder Lopez and I had found a couple people to
teach who were new, they were great lessons, so that was cool. Then we got home
and I had to take numbers, and then we went to bed. Elder Lopez had left the
portable heater on all night so I woke up at like 3 in the morning and my mouth
was super dry, hahaha it was pretty funny. Then we switched back early in the
morning so that we could to weekly planning on Friday.
Friday we did weekly
planning and it went quite well. After we went to lunch and then came back and
got ready for the day.
We taught a bunch of
lessons so that was great. At the end of the night we had English class. Girls
came that aren’t members so that was cool. I taught them how to have a basic
conversation, and after we gave them Restoration pamphlets, so it was way cool!
And Olga also came! She is a great investigator. We showed her the baptismal
font. While we were in it she said she was very thankful for having been let in
there. And we talked about baptism, and shared some scriptures and a sister
from the ward shared her testimony. The spirit was so strong! It made me have
goosebumps. And then we said a prayer on our knees to end it. It was way
powerful, the spirit was testifying to her that these things are true. She has
been given many answers to her prayers but just has trouble taking them to be
answers. So that was great.
Then Saturday we set
out on a long walk to Las Aguitas and our appointments fell through so we ended
up doing contacts for a while. Then we went to lunch and then home. We taught
some good lessons that day, and found some people. At night we watched The
Restoration with the Verdugo family. They loved it! And they had their other
sister there too. She usually is living in Canyete but came over for the
weekend to visit. And we taught about baptism, and she accepted a baptismal
date! So it was way cool!
Then Sunday came
around and we had to go to a meeting early. But we got there late because the
office elders had to drop off the van at our apartment and the assistants had
to take us in their truck to the chapel. And The Verdugo family all came all 4
of them! So it was way cool. We had a good fast and testimony meeting, you
could definitely feel the spirit there.
And then after church we went up the hill to a sister’s house for lunch to
get to her house you gotta walk behind a bunch of houses down a trail to get to
it. So lunch was good. I ate a bunch of homemade blueberry pie! And then after
we went down the backside of the mountain down a sketchy muddy trail, because
it had been raining the whole week. Elder Arancibia almost slid down it in his
suit it was pretty funny, and he put his hand on an electric fence! So that was
cool. So we made it down alive it was quite the adventure.
Then we spent Sunday
doing some contacts and we found a college student from Mexico. So that was
cool. And we taught a lesson to a part member family. And at the end of the
night we taught Olga with a member. So that lesson was great. We are just
trying to get Olga to notice the answers she receives, and to help her know
that this is the only true church.
But we had a stellar
week! I’m really looking forward to this one! I have the feeling that we are
gonna find a great family! And it’s the last week of the combio, and we are
gonna have 3 baptisms! So we are way stoked! I love you guys tons and hope that
you all have a great 4th of July, and that you eat all of the peanut butter
squares for me! I love you guys tons, and thanks for the prayers!!
les quiero
muchisimo!
Elder
