Wow!
First off, I can’t believe it snowed there!! It has been super hot today so it
is even harder to imagine that!! Ha,ha well, it really isn’t all that hot- the
thermometer says that it is only like 59º, but the sun is so much closer here
that it feels super hot! It was such a
nice change- that we were sweating and not just sitting playing cards all of
p-day!
This
week was a little disappointing! We worked hard all week and had 2 with
commitments that said yes they were coming, another that said she was coming
and like 6 part-actives that said they were coming and we were super excited…but,
no one came!!:( One, when we called,
was like, oh, well, my son needs another lesson with you before he is ready to
go to church...not true he was ready, his mom, a part-active that keeps finding
any and every excuse to not come...it is a common theme in this branch-- entre
los part-actives! That just means that
we have to work even harder with the members so that all our other work isn’t
lost!
It
was also a good week- we found two new investigators, Christian, is the son of
one of our part-actives that hasn’t been to church for 9 years! He is super, super, smart and has lots of
questions and we are excited about him and he will progress very well...if his
mom will let him...like I said before, she called us and said that they weren’t
coming because he wasn’t ready…really, it is she that isn’t ready. We have another visit with him tomorrow and
are excited for that! Our other is a man
named Edmundo, Edmundo is a super cool guy that said when we contacted him in a
taxi, that various sets of missionaries had contacted him and he´d given his
information, but none of them had ever followed up. He is super cool and he has
an interview for the 16th, and he is super cool--we are going to go visit him
tonight!
We
haven´t done divisions yet, we are doing them on Thursday! It will be super cool--I am going to the
sector of the Hermana leaders with Hermana Castillo and Hermana Gonzales is
coming to our sector.
I
loved the analogy of the seeds, it reminds me of a talk that I heard, something
along the lines of every person needing to hear of the church or talk to the
missionaries or members on average seven times before they are ready-- and how
we never know where we sit on the number line. So, we always have to be talking
to people because those that are at a 1 don’t want anything to do with it, but
the closer they get to being a 7 the closer they are to being a golden
investigator!! But, I loved it; it is motivation to contact! Ha,ha!
Well,
before I forget- the picture I sent of the baptism, was a baptism of the elders
and she is super cute! It was super exciting!
Thanks
for always having words of comfort and encouragement every week I love you all so
much!!!
Have
a fantastic week!!! Don’t forget to smile!! I love you all sooo
much!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love
always and forever
