Esta semana me fue muy bien!!!!
Wow hello family and
friends I can't believe how quickly time flies by. This week flew by in
the blink of an eye. I wish I could go through and my journal and write
down EVERYTHING that has happened but it would take wayyy to much time.
Like all weeks let me go through a few of our highlights.
Last Tuesday we found a super cool family of 3 young adults who are
progressing super rapidly. We taught them Tuesday and then Friday we
went back and finished the restouracion. As week testifies of the Book
of Mormon the spirit filled them room and we committed them to be
baptized and come to church. Anyways Sunday came around and we called
them at 8 to invite them to church. Their phone rang once and them it
just shut off, we called a few more times and it seemed like them had
blocked the number. We were super sad and thought for sure that they
were really interested. We went to church a little let down and RIGHT
before sacrament started they walked in!! It was a huge back door santa,
and the best part about it was that they LOVED the Gospel Principles
class. My companion taught them on Monday but I was in Cotui on an
intercambio. He said that the lesson was very spiritual and that they are
progressing a lot! Pray for Amilcka, Amarelis and Ricky!!!
Last
night my companion and I felt inspired to go check up on a few contacts
we had done about a month ago. As we were walking past the first house
we felt that we shouldn't follow up with them, then from the porch we
heard someone say in perfect English, yooo whats up Mormons!! It turns
put the girl we contacted had her New York boyfriend over. We went to
talk to them and he had a lot of questions. We taught in spaniglish and
focused on the BoM. After the hour long lesson we invited them to read
and pray. Johnny (the dude) said, 'Well I don't really know if this is
right, but this book makes a lot of sense and I just believe that its
true. Yeah, I know its true.' It was super super cool and he invited us
to come by on Thursday. It was super super cool.
As
a zone leader I have felt very pressured from presidente to baptize and
lead our zone in all los indicadores claves. Here, in all honesty, its
HARD to baptize because its soo hard to find people who actually have
real interés. Its been something that has really bothered me these past
few weeks. I feel like I'm doing things the right way and just not seeing
results. However yesterday we had a very spiritual lunch visit with a
recent convert and her sister. Cauhana is a recent convert of 2 months
and her younger sister Catolice has been progressing a lot, but she has
been neglecting a fecha para bautismo. My comp and I decided that we
needed to fast with her. Yesterday we taught about this principle and
invited her fast to receive an answer to her prayers. We finished our
fast ahorita and we feel really positive that she will be baptized in
two weeks. Please pray for Catolice!!!
Life is
going really well. I cant believe than my mission is acabándose super
rapidly. But I'm going to keep working con todo mi corazón!!
