Well... This week
went quite well, not like the best of all time but good :) We had a few
investigators in church but the worst part was... that Jorge didn't
go... and his date fell through... we will have to wait until Oct. to
baptize him... :'( pero... ni modo. He is still doing very well and is
ready to progress and all that :)
The struggle we have been having this
week is finding new people to teach, the ones that we had are all kinda
burning out and we need new ones, so we spend a lot of time looking for
new people and all that but we haven't been able to find any with
desires to progress but we are going to keep looking and try to get with
the members to have more referrals and stuff like that, it is going to
be good :)
Another
interesting thing that happened this week is that my comp. and I are
going to be assigned to the records as well! We are going to take the
place of a senior couple that goes home soon that were in charge of the
records so now we are going to have more to do here in the
offices... yesterday they were teaching
some of the new stuff we have to do. It will be good :)
Today
there is going to be a cultural event that will be broadcast from
Mexico City as a celebration of the re dedication of the Mexico City
temple! So we can go to that broadcast and then tomorrow we don't have
regular meetings, we just have to go to the re dedication and I am super
excited! :) It is going to be cool :) and then next week we are going to
the temple here again so it is the best!
This
week we were talking to Ana (eternal investigator) about her marriage
and divorce and all that and we set some goals for when she can get
baptized! She should be able to get divorced in like 2 months and then
get married and then baptized! But we probably won't visit her a whole
lot because she can't progress until she gets that all figured out but
we have the goal set and so we will be checking up on her so that it can
all work out and she can get baptized soon!
There is also another
family where the parents aren't members because they can't get married
and we visited them and we are going to do a fast with them to find the
way to get the divorce all worked out. But those are just a few things
that have been going on around here.
I have
been reading in the old testament and I am at the part when Moses is
preparing the house of Israel to go into the promised land and in that
part it talks a lot about why God gives us commandments and what we get
if we obey or disobey them. It is interesting because God is always
saying (through his prophet Moses) that he wants to bless his people but
he can't some times because they are aren't obeying the commandments
but as I was reading that part it mentions over and over that God just
wants to bless us, we just have to receive the blessings by striving to
be obedient. A lot of people don't understand that but I am grateful for
the Spirit and the Gospel and everything that the Lord has given me
(and everyone) to help us understand that He truly is a LOVING Heavenly
Father and he is waiting for every opportunity to pour blessings into
our lives. I know He loves me and everyone else in this world and that
has restored His Gospel to let us really know it :) Share it with
everyone so they may know it too!! :)
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
