This week's letter is going to be on the shorter
side because I've used half of my time sharing the amazing video 'He is
the Gift'. I haven't had a chance to watch it in English, but I know the
message is just as powerful as it is in Spanish.
As for this
week, Elder Rod and I worked hardddd, easily the best week in terms of
lessons and feeling the spirit. We're still trying to work on our
teaching dynamic, but now that we have a few solid investigators to
teach, I know everything will fall into place!
This week,
we've really cracked down and been teaching Edwin, the Son of Pablo and
Enilda every other day. He's the second investigator we've had that
actually reads and is progressing, were pumped. His baptism is set for
the 20 so pray for him and us that he'll be ready! He tells us he feels
the spirit every lesson and wants to be baptized, now the hard part is
trying to get his parents to get married! Then we'll have a new family in
the ward!
In other news on Tuesday
we had a big conferece in La Vega for Christmas. Our zone did a
hilarious dance and President gave an awesome capacitaion about how we
should be more like Peter. Watch the movie 'Son of God' and you'll know
what I mean. I love Peter's example because of his undeniable testimony
and faith in Jesucristo, but also because he wasn't perfect.
None
of us are perfect, and even an apostle of Christ, who had seen all his mercies, denied him three times, cut off a guards ear and lacked faith
as he walked on water. Like Peter we all have moments when we doubt our
faith, loose our patience and deny God. But what I love most about Peter
is that he was willing to change and become a true disciple of Christ.
Sorry for such a short letter.
I absolutely love this gospel and this people. As Christmas is coming
closer, try to remember what we are celebrating, the birth of Christ.
Con Amor,
Elder Blake
