Ok so I will start off here in our area with some amazing
people that we found and are teaching! So we found an awesome family through
some less active members of the ward. They are 3 kids and a mom. The
grandparents are members but the rest of the family isn't and they told us that
they wanted us to visit and teach them. We went with them on Friday and invited
them all to church because the grandparents hadn't gone in 5 years and the kids
had never gone. And the most awesome part is that they all showed up to church
yesterday!! All six of them! SO that was so amazing! We also brought a girl to
church that we had been teaching and she loved it. Her daughter was killed
about 3 years ago and she has been so sad ever since. But yesterday she said
she felt so much peace and she loved it. She is also ready for baptism and she
is planning on getting baptized the 15th of December!
We also had Zone Conference this week and it was pretty good.
Elder Diaz and I had to give a training so that was fun as always. We talked
about how we can work better with members and have more success here in the
mission. It was overall pretty good.
Honestly I don't remember what else happened this week
because we are working hard everyday. OHHH something awesome is that Jorge and
Angel and Angelo, people that Elder Alfaro and I found and taught in Viveros,
were baptized this past week!!! Its was so awesome to see them enter the waters
of baptism to make promises with God!
A side note this week was also a blast because
one night we just start hearing some loud bangs and we were like "ahhh
those are just kids with fireworks" so we went back to sleep. Turns out
that they were grenades and bazookas from the narcos lol. It makes it
even better that the narcos respect us and we are even friends with some of
them! Its dope lol!
Something that I read a little bit about this week (and it
turns out that my family did too) and that has been on my mind is this
scripture in Alma -
“Alma 7:23-24 / 23 And now I would that ye should be
humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience
and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping
the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in
need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for
whatsoever things ye do receive. 24 And see that ye have faith, hope, and
charity, and then ye will always abound in good works.” May we all strive
for these Christlike qualities remembering to be grateful in our circumstances.
Well thats all i got folks!
les amo y les extraño!
con amor
