Letter to All:
Well everyone is
healthy now! Ready to rumble! This week was good, but we need new
investigators, we are trying to think of new ideas to get good investigators.
I know we´ll be blessed with more. We do have 1 new family that´s
pretty positive, he said he´ll come to church and read to Book of Mormon, they
had a lot of good questions. The other families have kind of disappeared;
we never find them anymore so we are going to be doing all we can to find more.
It seems to always happen in the mission, you find a ton but very few
make it through. But it´s worth all the work.
Jissenia is getting
baptized tomorrow! She asked me to baptize her. She´s inviting her
family members to come to her baptism as well. It´ll be great! I´m
so excited to see a baptism it´s been a while. She´s going to be an
awesome member I know it! She´ll help the branch a lot.
It´s been kind of hot
lately here, I got burned today. Wednesday there are changes, so we´ll
see what happens, who knows.
We had a great
experience with a less active this week. All of our appointments had
fallen through, and we went to buy a snack and sit down and eat it. Then the
member’s little boy came up to us and said when are you going to come to my
house, we said right now. We had passed by a lot in the past but she was
never there. We finally were able to talk with here (Heidy).
She told me that her
life has been really rough in the past few years being a single mom and
fighting to get food on the table. She was to work in the night time and
come home and watch her kid all day and hardly even sleeps at all. She
began to cry telling us some of her trials.
I told her, God is
watching her efforts, and that Jesus Christ will be by her side to help her and
he knows exactly how she feels. Then we ended with a prayer, she prayed.
She gave thanks to the Lord that we had come and she really needed
someone in that moment, usually she isn´t an open person. She felt better
getting some of these things off her chest and talking about her trials with
us.
It was truly a neat
experience led by the Spirit.
Take care!

The first picture is a place called Las Lajitas, we work over there a lot, it´s a very poor place.
The second picture is of the beautiful hills that are in Santo Tomás.
