Como estan? This week has been awesome as
always! I love my area, I love my zone, I love the Branch and I love my
companion! It is all just awesome! It is amazing how things are just
developing and growing and just going and going! The work never stops,
only we do!
.
On Monday
one of our investigators dropped us, which means she called us after
she missed her appointment and said that she wasn't really interested
anymore and that she would call us. It is a bummer, but it is better to
be effective with our time than to just be busy
.
We had an awesome district meeting on Tuesday!
Elder Garity is my district leader, he is also another missionary in
the branch and he is nearing the end of his mission. He is awesome! I
love learning from him. He is so kind and full of wisdom. I am excited
for the rest of the transfer! We at dinner with Hermana Horta and
her family. She is a recent convert. We had Lenguae(cow tongue), it is
the second time I have had it. It is good, but if not cooked perfectly
it is a funny texture. We had some missionary bonding over eating
some chiles! I had very little but it was fun! We taught a lesson
to their family. They are struggling with keeping the sabbath day holy
because of soccer. We are just continuing to help him! Then we met
with Andres. He is such a solid member and is sharing the gospel. He
is just doing awesome!
.
Wednesday
we had facebook training with the tech. Elders. It is amazing how they
are always improving and making things better! We learned more about
finding investigators online in our area and also passing off
investigators to missionaries in their area. Later we taught a lesson to
one of our investigators. Her name is Marisol and it was a do or die
lesson. That means that it can either mean that we drop them or feel
that we should continue teaching them. It was a great lesson. At the end
after her prayer she kind of broke down to us to tell us that she
really desires to know the truth. She just doesn't know where it is. The
only problem was she didn't come to church this week. We will see
about everything! I found one of our current investigators on
facebook and we chatted for a little bit and she really opened up about
herself. It is really amazing how much people tell us in person but they
tell us even more online. So I am glad to know more about her and to
help her. I started a crazy few days of 2 exchanges. Hermana
Hernandez did two exchanges back to back as a Sister Training Leader,
which means that I was without my companion for two days in an area I
barely know. It was a little rough, but it all worked out. We went to teach Deisy and Manuel with a member and it ended up being an
hour and 45 minute lesson with lots of topics, helps and craziness. I
hope we touched them in someway. By the way, I was with Hermana Santiago
at this time. It was good but we hope to keep it more simple this week!
.
Thursday
we taught a less-active named Graciela. She is the only member in her
family which makes it hard for her to do everyting. She has good
desires. She just needs to act on them. It was a great lesson and it was
nice to get to know her. I drove to Rio Vista to say hello to my
companion and then to switch my companion to Sister Andreasen. Then we
taught Jose. He is a less-active also and he works most Sundays. We
always have hope! We had a rougher night finding people, but it went
well. I think I kind of scared her by taking her to a sketchier part of
town but it all worked out.
On Friday
we had a baptism in the Branch! It was awesome! The story is that
the daughter was contacted on facebook and then her whole family ended
up taking the lessons too and they were all baptized! It was awesome! I
played the piano, which I tend to be doing a lot lately and the Albas
were there and it was really wonderful!
.
On Saturday
we picked up new investigators that were a referral from a member. They
accepted the Restoration and accepted to be baptized! It was awesome!
The rest of the weekend was wonderful and it was fun to learn more about
the branch and everything. It is quite a wonderful just to love others
and I wouldnt change it for the world! Love you all lots! Listen to the
prophets!
