Sorry
for the boring tittle. But this week was a lot of working with members to get
their confidence. The work of missionaries is impossible without the help of
members. Retaining converts is impossible without members. So It’s crucial that
we have good relationships and friendships with them. People here are super
amazing and good, but they have little experience and need help to catch the
vision. We had a meeting with the bishop on how we could do that. We have a few
things that we are excited to try.
As for the families we
are teaching... A lot are really progressing. Yesterday we brought 6 people to
church with us and they all loved it. We called members before and told them
names and showed pics of the people so they could enter and people would call them
by name to welcome them. We have 20 year old Mariá who has a 3 year old
daughter. And the mom of Mariá who is Maria (without accent over the a). They
have a little trouble with the Word of Wisdom but are willing to change. This
week will be important for them to get baptized next Saturday.
We still have the two
little girls. We have reactivated the family and are getting a little closer
every day. Who knows if it can still happen this week.
Miriam is having lots
of trouble at work so we are putting her on hold for a while.
But over all those are
the big ones. We have a few leads we will work with. Over all the field is
white and harvest will be great. I’m so grateful to get to be a part of it. The
work on this earth is really accelerating and we are lucky to be a part of it.
Temple work is really being pushed here. I’m super excited for the Rio Temple
that is coming this year. Take advantage all of you that live by the temple.
There is no better place!
PS - Fun fact... I’m
the ward music director. And everyone makes fun of my girly (but accurate)
leading style. Thanks for teaching me mom and sisters ;)
But I love you all
tons. Sorry I don’t have any better photos.
