Buenas tardes todos!
Sorry that it is so late but we had interviews this morning
with our Mission President for 3 hours! It kind of took up a lot of time
but Hermana Parreño, his wife, really helped us out a lot as she spoke to
us during all the interviews. We have been focusing a lot this past week
on finding people and visiting lots of members. Because this week we
just realized that we have been looking and looking for people to teach
but really SO much of the success we have is when we can receive
references from members. There have been so many people to tell us that
too, so our focus this week is to work really hard with the members and
to be like Christ. To really be His representatives so the members want
to give us their friends and family to teach. It is so important for us
to always be examples to others!
One
day we were walking really far in our area (it's huge) and threre was a
woman and two kids walking. We were on our way to an investigator's house
(Melisa) but I had a feeling to talk to these people. And guess
what... her brother used to be a member of our church and she said we
could pass by another day! So we passed by and she ended up not paying
attention to anything we said but we were talking for a long time with
her mom Luján (Luhan). Luján started crying and said we arrived just at
the moment when she was having a really hard time that day. Her son has
had lots of problems since he left the church... LOTS, and she lost
communication with him. We just simply listened to her and tried to give
her love. She told us she wants nothing with religion that we can come
back. Honestly it was a miracle that we found her. We are going to try
to teach her that peace, happiness, and joy can come from the church and
faith in Jesus Christ.
This
investigator Melisa is "together" with a man. She has two kids, one
that is his, and he is a character, a little disrespectful but we still
wanted to teach them. Well he told us he wasn't interested straight up
but she told us that we could still come by for her so we will see what
happens! She has so much potential to really feel of the love of Christ
for her and find true happiness and safety for her two little kids.
As
for Analia, we are going to leave her for sure... Her husband said he
doesn't want to hear from us anymore but she loves us. I just think we
need to give her space and see if she realizes how special it is when we
go to her house and tesfify of the truthfulness of this gospel.
We
also found this less active girl, 20 years old who wants to come back
to church. We were able to meet her and her mom who is a member and her
siblings who aren't members. They are a fantastic family!! We just felt
such a good spirit and know that they are going to return to church and
hopefully we can teach the other kids how wonderful all the members are
and that they can be truly happy having a testimony of Jesus and his
gospel too.
We have not found Guillermo yet so we will be REALLY trying hard this week to find him since its been one week now:(
And
there is a tiny more but I have to go! One more thing, we are going to
try to do English classes this week so pray that we can have good
experiences with these people and teach English well!
Lots of love and thank yous to you all!!
