Sorry I didn`t write last week.
But this week has
been filled with hard work. We are working on having more members join
us when we teach. And we had ward conference this week, we only managed
to get four investigators to go, but we had more success in less
actives and future investigators, the place was packed, there was about
60-70 people there. They have selected three possible places to put the
chapel, so the excitement continues. The investigator I have mentioned
before with alcohol, Saturday makes two weeks clean, he just needs two
more (and a whole life time).
The people here are amazing, we have about 15 investigators and
about 6 possible people to teach. We have been so packed that we don`t
have time to visit all of them. But we have divided the area for
December. We thought it would be easy to divide it, but the Lord had a
different idea. So we started off with a prayer, talked over it, then
asked the Lord what he thought, when we didn`t feel anything we talked
over it some more and then prayed again. We followed this pattern until
we felt good, it took us about two hours to do it. My companion said ¨so
this is what it`s like for the apostles when they make a new mission.
The Lord really is active in this work, we just need to work on being
able to access this help. At first I was really afraid of promising a
blessing to people, but I have learned that the Lord has already
promised this things.
We also had a seventy come and speak to the stake leaders and they
invited the missionaries to join, Pres. Villarreal spoke too. We are
hoping for even more animo (encourage) with
the members. He invited the members to complete the commitment in
General Conference to invite someone to hear the missionaries before
Christmas. And he invited us to visit the members and teach them the
Restoration, so the members could decide if we are worthy to teach their
friends. It was awesome!!
Love you all!!
