Hey family!
This week was amazing. Like I had said before we havent had
too many people to teach in this sector and something super sweet is happening,
since the start here we have ignored the hard parts of the sector and got to
work with a lot of faith. This past weeks we have truly seen progress and
miracles. As of now each day we are finding people and familys. We have
increased our efforts with the members and now half of our lessons are with the
members. The other day we knocked on a door and a lady answered and was one of
the nicest ladies I have ever met. She was so receptive and told us how happy
she was that we knocked her door and told us how much she needed this. I know
without a doubt the lord prepared us to knock her door.
This Friday we had our council with president and something
he said reminded me of a past experience. He said one of the biggest trials we
have as missionaries is our attitude and our mindset. If we come to a sector
where the work is dead and work as though its dead we wont find progress. I
think my personal experience of that is when I was in puerto natales, We had no
investigators and that moment the branch wasnt too strong. For that six months
I was there I wanted so bad to leave it better. I promised the members that one
day this branch would be full. Leaving puerto natales I left with some of the
most amazing experiences of my life, gaining a testimony that a branch of 25
with few baptisms with the right mindset and action, that the sunday I left
attended 44. And as I left I continued to hear miracles happening, baptisms
passing after. I love working especially in places that truly need the mission
work.
Another cool story.
In my last sector I constantly taught this one single mom
and her daughter, she didnt understand anything, but at least we got her to
pray, as we taught her more and more, she just wasnt getting it and refused to
attend church cause of her baby. She was passing for hard times and we wanted
her to assist so bad but never did, so... we stopped passing by, a month later
when I came to my next sector I heard they began to teach her again, and 1
month later she got baptized, I couldnt believe it and it filled me with joy,
God truly wanted this hermana to come closer to him, and was a great testimony
builder that God is always helping people change and anyone ANYONE can change
and come back to the gospel or start.
This has been a awesome week, we had a lot of time to work,
we had some interesting lessons thats for sure, others spritual, others a
little to old to understand, but I testify that God prepares people, he wants
everyone to continue to change, repent and come closer, today we had a cool
mutual with all the missionaries and one joven from the ward and the other
thats an investigator, and tonight we are going to have a open house at the
church with dessert after, everyone was invited to bring their BEST dessert, we
will see what happens.
Love you guys a ton, take care this week, ha super hot here
right now, gettin the nice missionary tan lines ;)
talk to you later!
