¡Hola!
We
had Ricardo and Virginia at chuch yesterday. Ricardo is still going
strong and that's great, he has been clean from drugs for two weeks
which is great. We had never met Virginia before, Hermana Ibarra invited
her to come and she did and she really liked it. Later we went to
Hermana Ibarra's house and Virginia came over and we taught her about
the restoration and she was really interested. She has so much faith and
told us how God always answers her prayers and helps her get through
everything. She even told us about a little miracle that happened to
her. She usually needs glasses to read books or texts from her phone or
whatever but in the Gospel Principles class, when Elder Macías asked her
to read a passage from the Book of Mormon she prayed and asked for help
to read the letters because she didn't have glasses and she was able to
read it perfectly fine. It was a cool story for me to hear. We are
going to keep teaching her because she really wants her life to change
and be part of the church. We had a bunch of investigators but a lot of
them didn't want to progress so we have dropped them for the time
being. We still teach Jorge but he still can't really walk very much or
sit for very long so he hasn't been able to come to church, but the last
time we went he had gone to the doctor and we don't know what happened
but he was not happy and he wouldn't even let us in the house, we are
going to go back when he has had a little bit of time to calm down. We
teach less actives a bunch because there are quite a bit of them.
In
pretty much all the lessons we teach the first two lessons from preach
my gospel because we haven't had a whole lot of people progressing, the
first two lessons are the restoration and the plan of salvation. They
usually go pretty well but sometimes the people get pretty side tracked
and it is hard to get them back focused on the topic of the lesson.
Everyone here likes to share their life story ha ha :) I always try to
bear testimony because that is what helps the Spirit be there and allow
them to learn and feel the truth. I sure hope they feel the spirit and I
try to follow it as best as I can.
We did exchanges again, I didn't like it much
because I stayed in our area so I had to act like senior companion
because the other missionary doesn't know the area and what not. I still
am not ready to be senior companion and I felt like the day wasn't very
successful... I didn't like that feeling one bit... I tried my best to
be effective but I don't know... it wasn't a very good day. I have to
learn how to do it some how because I will need to do it all the time
eventually and I have to do it again on Tuesday. I feel like we do
divisions too many times but I don't know, I just don't like the idea of
being in charge again so soon...
Elder Lawson is from Ogden and he has been out for 8 months now, he got here the same time as Elder Macías.
I
understand about grandma... I know it is hard to see her decline like
that and be in so much pain.
I agree with you that it would probably be
best if that did happen because then she would be able to be with
grandpa and not have to struggle so much.
I still haven't got the Easter package and I wonder
when I will get the birthday one... I did get some dear elders last week so that was cool. I got one from Mom, John Holland, and Gma and Gpa
Sampson. They were great :) Thank you so much!!!!
Well I love you all and hope you have a great week :) ¡Adiós!
Elder Sampson
