(We wrote to Jacob about our trip with the Mooneys to St. George, Utah) Wow, you all had a full week,
sounds like! How awesome! I’m so glad that you guys could go with the Mooneys! And yeah, the Mooney boys are pretty awesome! Glad that Aaron got to have fun
with them!
The area is getting
better. We really worked this week to try and find new people to teach. The
thing is, this area and this ward is one of the most successful wards in the
mission, and they are working to try and divide it into two wards. The pressure
is on!!...
I got to know the area
a little better through divisions (splits)
with the leaders of the Zone. I heard that we were going to have divisions and
that I was going to stay in the area and I was so nervous. In my study time
before we had divisions I studied the area and the people as much as I could,
and I know that the lord qualified me to be able to direct the area. I was
super nervous but we had some really good leccions (lessons) and we were never lost.
I have seen many times
that if we are willing, we are going to receive the help that we need from our
Father in Heaven!
We have some new
investigators. Cristian Garcia is one and he has some friend that are LDS. He
prayed in his prayer that he could one day be part of the Mormons, and well
that just about did it for us! So we are working with him right now.
We are working with Rita.
Her boyfriend is a member and they have a daughter, Agostina. We love visiting
their family and are just waiting for their marriage!
We met a young man who
is very evangelical, and knows a lot about the bible, we talked with him about
prophets and it went well. He was a
little nervous the first time we met with him but really we just wanted to show
how we are here to help.
We are working with a
boy named Alexis who plays semi-professional futbol (soccer, to us Americans) and he is super cool, but it’s hard to
find him because he trains a lot.
In the ward, they
changed almost all the auxiliaries and we have a new ward mission leader. He is
the man that we took a photo with in front of the church! He is really awesome
and we are excited to work with him. I know that it was inspired that he was
called to work with us, and I know we are going to start to see some miracles
from this change in organization.
There are some really
poor areas in our area, and it’s hard at times to see how they live. I am
always grateful for what I have been given and at times I want to do more and
help more than just teach these people. But this week I learned that the Lord
is going to bless us both temporally and spiritually if we choose to follow
this gospel. So, I learned that the opportunity to teach and to share the gospel
is more than just words, more than just a book, and pamphlets, it’s the
opportunity to invite our brothers and sisters to receive forgiveness, to receive
an eternal family, to receive salvation. This gospel is everything and it will
help us in anything that we are lacking.
Sorry I don’t have
pictures today. I forgot to bring my camera.
I love you all so
much!
