Hey
everybody,
I don't know if it is as strange to you as it is to me but
Christmas is in a month!!! I kinda just realized that as I was typing
the date up there at the top but wow... the time goes by so fast! Oh,
and I will actually be writing on Monday (today) this week because we
didn't have anything else come up :) Well a little about the people we
have been teaching.
The older couple we have been teaching weren't able to make it
this week because the husband wasn't feeling good and the wife, like I
think I already might have said but I'm not sure, doesn't have the use
of her legs and is in a wheelchair and can't really get to church by
herself. We thought they would be able to make it because they have a
car but the husband, like I said wasn't feeling good, but the good news
is that they really wanted to come and so this week we are going to find
someone that can help them get there because they kinda have to carry
the lady at least a little bit and the man has back problems or
something like that, but they were really happy when we told them we
would find someone to help them because the lady was upset that she
wasn't able to make it... she has been through a lot these past couple
years and is pretty sad about all that... I feel bad for her, but that
is why we teach them the Gospel, because that is what is going to bring
them happiness even with all the problems they may have. Right now we
are teaching them about el Plan de Salvación and I know that it will
help them a lot. We have also been teaching their granddaughter because
she lives there with them. She is about 30 years old and has two little
girls. She is always interested in what we have to say and all that but
isn't as willing to accept a baptismal date or go to church, but we know
that she is hiding something from us and is kinda struggling
right now, but as we have been teaching them leccion 2 she has been very
attentive and I believe that what she is going through has to do with a
loss of some sort and I know that she is going to find a lot of hope
and peace as she learns more about the Plan that God has for all of
us.
We had exchanges this last week and the
elder that came to our area and my comp found a new investigator and
yesterday we went to teach him and I got to meet him. He is pretty
great, he is very interested and had been reading the Book of Mormon. He
had a few doubts but we helped clear them up and I think he will
have some really great progress this week but we will see how it goes :)
Well, I had an interesting experience this week with contacting...
I can't lie and say that I am contacting all the time or talking with
everyone but I have been improving... and well I have found that if I
really make the effort even if I am really bad at it, the Lord will
bless me for my efforts. Before I was contacting but only kinda halfheartedly because it is something that is against my nature and I kinda
only did it if we were already out talking to someone, but as I put my
trust in the Lord and was looking for the opportunity to talk to
someone and then just going up to someone to talk to them about the
gospel I found that we had a lot more success finding people interested
in our message and they wanted to hear more... I am sure you are all
kinda thinking " what the heck, he already has like 9 months out there
and is barely figuring that out?" but hey... I am far from perfect and I
have a lot to learn but I am thankful for the help of the Lord and that
I know that if I do my part he will do His. We can always trust in Him
because He can't lie and has the power to fulfill his promises. I am
grateful to have Him with me to make up for all that I lack so I can at
least help a few of his children make it back to him. I have a testimony
of our Savior Jesus Christ and I know that He atoned for our sins, and
that is what I am here to share.
