Hola hola! To answer your questions, as far as cambios… we
are staying the same again. Yeah we were surprised too, but I think it’s
because of the new mission president. It’s okay though, there’s work to be
done! With Victor and Antonia we weren’t able to meet with them last week
because Victor is always busy. After p-day ended, we didn’t have any appointments
but we were able to make 3 contacts calling former investigators so that was
good.
Tuesday we had a district meeting where we talked about
accountability and how we need to always give an account at the end of the day
to our leaders and more importantly to God, and do it without being asked. We had quite a bit of time to go
contacting and were able to contact 7 new people. We also found one less-active
family who are super great so we arranged to visit them the next day to see
what we can do to help them and minister to them.
Wednesday when we went to see the family, they were awesome
and made us breakfast too! They told us of some problems they are having now and
it stinks with some of the things they are going through but we are going to do
our best to help them. For the rest of the day we were able to contact some new
people also. And Elder Ortiz made a deal with us to try and motivate us and
that is if we have at least one person in church on Sunday who has been invited
to be baptized on a specific date and accepted it, he will buy us each a pizza.
I really wanted for it to happen, mostly because it’s part of my purpose but
the pizza is a bonus! :)
Thursday during the day didn’t go so great. Things are at
the point now that we joke with ourselves that our appointments are going to
fall through because people are always cancelling on us. It’s sad because it’s
true… Even when people make appointments with us, they still fall through. Last
week a girl came running after us because her boss wanted to interview someone
who speaks English for a class she is taking. So we set an appointment to do
the interview and were planning to try and contact her afterwards, but when we
went she said she was busy and didn’t need our help. We ended the day with some
good contacts hopefully so that was a good part.
Friday we went to the temple and it was super amazing!!! I
just love the temple so much. After we got back to our area my companion and I
were talking about how it was super nice and reassuring to be able to go to the
House of God and get away from the crazy beliefs of some people. It was a great
reminder of the pureness and trueness of the church. Plus I got to see a bunch
of my friends and old companions so it was super awesome and uplifting.
Saturday was interesting… When we were contacting, we talked
to a man who said he was Jesus and God. He said he was Jesus, my Savior who
died for me and was resurrected and also my Heavenly Father, our all-powerful
God who created the Earth. We said he was mistaken but he just wanted to argue
so we left. Thankfully Elder’s Ortiz and Hidalgo invited us to a baptismal
service for 2 of their investigators. It was a nice spiritual service so that
was good -- especially after our encounter with the man earlier.
Sunday was an incredible day! In the morning we tried to
invite people to church but we couldn’t find anyone, so we went to church
feeling awful. But right before sacrament meeting started, a woman and man came
up to us and told us that she is a member but he isn’t. He is interested in
learning about the church and would like it if the missionaries could passby
and teach him. We asked where he lived and he lives in a colony in our area! So
we asked if we could talk with him for a minute in a separate room to get to
know him and then invited him to be baptized to which he accepted! After 4
weeks without any investigators God blessed us by this man, Gorge, coming to
church. During the day we passed to visit another contact and were able to find
him home so we talked with him and invited him to be baptized and he accepted
too! Yes! Thank you Heavenly Father! I know he blessed us to be able to have 2
new investigators. I am so very grateful to Him!
Thanks so much for the thoughts! I love you guys,
and dad I hope you had a great Father’s Day! Have a great week this week!
