This past week has been a ton of hard work! But it has all payed off! :)
We have a list of people who are less active and we have been stopping
by there houses ever since I have gotten here. Every single house that
we have knocked on has been either they aren't home or they don't live
there anymore. For some reason we have had a lot of success this week!
The first people that we were able to find are the 2 Maria's! A mother
and a daughter. They are less active and we shared a message with
them. We found out that a meme bee stops by every week to invite them
to church, but has had no success :( We are going to try and
re-activate them.
The next person that we found is a guy named Boni. He was not the
person we were looking for, but he was really interested. We found out
that his sister in Mexico is Mormon. We have had two brief lessons
with him and he wanted to come to church on Sunday, but he didn't end
up coming. We gave him a BOM and he said that he would read it. So
hopefully he does.
The last person on the list that we found was a cute family. I am not
sure of there last name but the mom's name is Fabiola. She went
inactive years ago and her nine year old daughter has not been
baptized. Lily knows a ton about religion she loved sitting and
talking to us and had a ton of insights! We hope to baptize her as
well!
We received a referral this week for a woman named Patricia. She has
three children and seemed really interested. She and her husband were
really nice and listened to what we had to say. We have a return
appointment on Wednesday! I am really excited!
This week we decided to help Arturo with his family history. We tried
doing it by ourselves with no success. We came back when people were
working and they had no success! We are still going to dig some more.
I tried sushi for my first time! We didn't have a dinner set up and so
Hermana Killian suggested sushi. I said yes only so that I could tell
Taci that I tried sushi! It is actually really good. I suggest if you
don't like fish get ones with crab, it is cooked and less fishy
tasting!
Friday we did a ton of work! We taught a total of 7 lessons! Two
people we taught were people that we had contacted the day before.
Jose, which we don't know if it will go anywhere, and Watson. He is
this cute old man from Fiji! He has a hard time remembering things and
won't give us his number so we also don't know how far things will go
with them.
One thing that we found out this week is that Bladimir is spelled with
a V and that it is his middle name. His real name is Ramon! He says
that Ramon is ugly! We taught him the plan of salvation and he started
crying when we told him that he could see his grandma again! He also
came to church yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were so excited! The only
problem we encountered was taking the sacrament. In the Catholic
Church you have to earn the taking of the sacrament and he felt like
he hadn't earned it. We finally convinced him to take it. We had a
short lesson afterwards about the Sacrament. Also after our lesson
with him he said the closing prayer for his first time by himself! We
were really surprised because it was amazing! We wanted to ask him if
he had been practicing but we didn't. His baptism date is set for Feb.
24. We are going to try to push that so it can be a little sooner, but
we didn't feel like we should push them then.
This has been my week this week. Le amo mucho! Adiós por un otro semana!
