Ok so this week was pretty good.
Some very interesting things happened.
So on Monday as we were leaving the
library we saw L.!!! It was crazy! We walked over to talk to her and it was
like she really didn't recognize us and then she did but she was acting like
she didn't want to talk to us and that was sad. We know where she lives though
so we'll probably stop by. We also had a good dinner and lesson with the C.
Family and we talked about temples. We made some goals with them to be able to
go back and hopefully we can help them do that.
Tuesday we had a good dinner with
the S. family. and we had a good conversation with them and talked about what
we do as missionaries and set some expectations about the visits. They told us
they want to learn but that they needed us to show them in the Bible where
everything is about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. So we are going to
work with them on that. Our English class was pretty good we had a very good turnout. They are enjoying
it and are trying to use what they are learning.
Wednesday I went on exchanges and I
went to the English area. It's been over a year since I did that. I almost
flipped a switch though. My goodness I might have died in an English ward –
English is hard now! But I controlled it and we got through everything.
Thursday we had a good lesson with
J. V., the Taquero (Taco Vender) that lives in the Toriz's neighborhood. We did
some how to begin teaching and he took everything well. We are going to try and
set up a lesson with him for this week and get his whole family together. After
that we had a great lesson with M. and we actually starting to teach her
husband too. His name is F. They are both very interested and we were also able
to put them on date for Baptism!! They are going to go to R3 though because
that is where their son is going and they are going to support him as he
prepares to serve a mission.
Friday we went to the temple! it was
awesome!!! We took some pictures quickly and left cause we needed to get back
to our areas. We had a good dinner at the M. family home and the mom gave us like 5 people to go visit. Well names
of people to go see, we are still waiting on their addresses.
Saturday we finished weekly planning
and then we had our correlation meeting with Hermano. T. and we coordinated
some things about baptismal services. It is interesting to learn about how
Priesthood keys operate in the Church. Bishops and Stake Presidents have them,
and our Mission President has them, so it is interesting to see how those can
work together to move the work forward.
Sunday. Nobody came to church!!!! It
was super sad. We had dinner with the
Villagranas and that was really good. We talked to them about missionary work
and they are going to try and be more proactive in talking to their neighbors
about the gospel.
That was the week! I hope everyone
has a good week. I know this church is true. I know Jesus Christ Lives and that
he guides us in this work. I know God loves us and wants nothing more than our
happiness. I know that if we rely on them we will be able to get through any
trial, or problem we might face in life.
I love you all!
