Buenos
Dias,
Sounds like this week
at home was a good one. The topics in church and the life of teenagers sound
like an adventure.
So guess what?! We had
a lesson with E yesterday and we started out by asking him to tell us his story
of sharing a scripture with his mom and everything and he quoted DYC 85:10 to
us before we even started teaching him....wow he is so prepared I just hope we
can continue to have a good relationship with his mom and the family that is
fellowshipping him is AMAZING...obviously because he had already read D&C
so we talked about prophets and Joseph Smith yesterday and the guide they can
be to us and taught the restoration. Anyway the point of this wonderful story
and miracle is that we have a baptism date for the 28th of September!!! We
marked the story of Nephi and the boat for him to read this week because he feels
solo in this decision...well when he is with his family.
A less-active and her
husband attended yesterday! Yay he says he likes it and his going to dance on
the 20th because as you should now the 18th is day of independence in
Chile...so yes the streets are covered with flags and everyone decorates their
cars dancing music...it's quite the party...oh and food. So the branch is
having an all day party on the 20th we as missionaries can visit for 2 hours.
So we will see what it will bring. Anyway back to our investigator, we passed
by their house yesterday and talked with him and invited him to be baptized and
he said he didn't feel ready we expressed that we were there to be guides...but
still he is hesitant...but the change from the first time we met him to now is
AMAZING. I know the Lord works miracles
when all of us work together.
The other Hermanas
found a less active that lives in our area now and has a 9 year son who she
wants to be baptized. We taught him on Thursday.
He is timid, but hopefully he will warm up to us. It was sad because we were
talking to the mom and she has been living with the dad of her son for 11 years
but is scared of marriage because the marriage of her parents didn't work out Thankfully
we had a member with us who's parents had divorced a year ago and was hard on
her but she still has faith in eternal marriage we left her with the
family a proclamation to the world. Mom I
thought of you and wanted to know your thoughts of marriage or how the divorce
of your parents shaped our ideas on marriage or how you learned to have faith
in a successful marriage. The more I read the proclamation I know that if
we center our marriage and lives on Jesus Christ we will have success and we
won't need to be sacred of the future.
We have another investigator
named C she lives with her mom and dad and sister but basically lives solo
because they are never there. She was
going to come to church yesterday. We don't know what happened but she didn't
show up and her phone was off all day yesterday, so we are going to pass by
today and see how she is.
Unfortunately we haven't
been able to find K in her house this week, we will keep you updated on
her.
I gave a talk in
sacrament meeting yesterday based on the talk we are one by President
Eyring...he gave a story of his time he served in New Mexico and was called to
be a missionary for the district but didn't think he was going to be there
long...but by a miracle he was called to stay there and with the help of
members had lessons with families in the nights and weekends. He said that
after 5 years of serving they were a stake and now there is a temple there. I related
this to the branch we are in now and that we can grow because we all one in
purpose (Moses 3:9)..And I also shared 1Nephi 3:7 because I know the Lord
prepares a way and we are all just instruments in his hands and if we all do
our part as members and missioners the work of the lord will progress. I know
this is the Lord's work and we all have a work to do a marvelous work.
I have a lot I learned
this week and in my studies today I read in 1 Nephi 13:37 I love it because if
we all do our part in spreading the gospel or edifying Zion in our families,
neighbors, wards whatever it be we will be blessed with the sprit to do the
work and this is enduring to the end. Love you all!!!!!
