Hey!!
So
how was the trip to Hawaii? Did y'all enjoy yourselves? haha I am
sure you did :) and that's the good part :) I am sure it was quite
relaxing and enjoyable so that's fun.
This week has been a little
crazy and we haven't been able to get much stuff done in the area
because we have been doing stuff with the changes and such. Before the
secretaries of referrals and health didn't help that much with changes
but they wanted us to so we did :) We helped set up "La Última Cena" for
the missionaries that were heading out and then president invited us to
stay and eat... so we did... and then we cleaned everything up. That was Sunday evening.
None of our investigators came to church
with us... Jesús was moving and Jonathan had to work because they
changed his schedule... and there was this other investigator that said
she was going to go and we passed by her house and she didn't get up or
something and didn't make it either... and then on Monday we were
helping out with transfers and all that and spent the whole day here in the office...
and then on Tuesday... we did work a little and then on Wednesday a
little as well, on Thursday we didn't because we had planning and a
conference and mission correlation with the WML and then yesterday we
worked :) so it's been a little slow for all the things that have been
going on... well not really, but speaking about the work in the area sense
it is...
So a good experience that we had
yesterday with Jonathan and also another from this week with him.
Yesterday we visited him and we were talking about what he had read in
the Book of Mormon and he had a ton of questions... so we were just
answering all of his questions for a bit but then we started teaching
him about the Plan of Salvation and all that. And again, he had a ton of
questions about all that. It was a cool experience because he had a ton
of questions and we were able to answer all of them (well, almost all
of them, some of them were kinda weird...) and it was something that
makes me more grateful for having the fullness of the Gospel, because
there are a lot of churches and people that don't have access to all the knowledge and insight that we have in the restored church and they have
to live with those questions and doubts until they find the true church
or... they die so... it's such a blessing to have the knowledge that we
have here on this earth and I am grateful for it :)
Also, we taught him earlier in the
week and we talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In this lesson we taught him about receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and Endure to
the End and it was great when he totally understood the need of getting
baptized spiritually as well as in the water and how it doesn't really
have a point to get baptized if you don't receive the Spirit afterwards.
He is still excited to get baptized as well because (well he didn't
remember the date exactly) he asked when was the day we had invited him
to get baptized so he could get work off that day, haha it was great :)
but anyways, he is doing pretty good.
Oh.. I
lied... we did have an investigator at church... but we didn't know he
was an investigator, well we did but we thought he lived in a different
area. So we were going to pass the reference to another area but then,
the other day we are walkin' down the street and a motorcycle honks at
us and pulls over. Turns out that it's David (the investigator that we
thought was from another area) and so we start talking to him and he
tells us that he was headed to institute with his friend, and that he
stopped to talk to us because he wants us to teach him in the chapel
and we start explaining that he has to go to the ward where he lives and
that we would love to teach him an all that but then he says "that's
not a problem, I have a house here too!" it's kinda weird with him
because he lives all over the place! he lives with his mom, and his dad
(they aren't together) and has an apartment when he goes to school and
sometimes he lives with his brother... and it turns out that one of
those is in the limits of the ward so... we can teach him! :) he
is going to get baptized! Well I am pretty sure he is, and it will be
soon :)
But there you have it! That's all I've
got for this week, catch ya' next time on weekly letters with Elder
Sampson.
Thanks for checkin' in, all comments and suggestions are
welcome and appreciated ;) (haha I don't know why but I just felt like
ending it like that, Love y'all!!!! :) )
