Well hello again. This week was not so bueno for our stats, but it was a pretty good week I think.
Lunes after writing here, we did some quick shopping and then packed and headed for Tijuana. We got there around 8:30. We stayed the night with the sisters who are assigned in Tijuana. It was great. We ate Roscas and stayed up late talking. Shh. Youll have to Google the Roscas tradition because I still dont understand completely.
Martes we had the conference for the different leaders. My Mom is a Sister leader, so thats why we had to go. It was long. And scary. But its all good. Then we came back to Mexicali. We missed out on 2 days of lecciones, so thats why its bad for our stats. But we kind of made up for it the other days.
Miercoles just a regular day. Walked a lot. Ate a lot. Taught a lot.
Jueves we committed another investigator to baptism. So thats awesome. For my birthday too!
Sabado y Domingo was Stake Conference. It was great. We watched a satalittle transmission of Elder Christiensen ( i think) Hermana Marriott, Elder D. Todd Christofferson, and Elder Robert D. Hales. Our investigators with baptismal dates were there. We were super stoked.
Our investigators are doing so awesome. I love working with them. And they are so patient with my Spanish. Our ward is great. The food is great. Its a great week.
Now. I am going to have my little Gospel moment:
Friends and family. The prophet and apostles are teaching more and more about Missionary Work. This is because it is so important! Missionary work isnt just for missionaries! Members are an essential part of the work. Without the members here, we would be nothing. I am so lucky that they are so awesome. In most places, missionaries arent allowed to knock on doors anymore. We rely on contacting in the street and REFERRALS! I know you all know someone who doesnt have the Gospel in their lives. Please refer them to the missionaries. It doesnt matter if they drink or you dont think they want the Gospel. You have the cure for all their pain and sadness. Share it! You dont even have to do the hard part! Just give their names to the missionaries. (Probably ask them first if its okay. We find it works better that way).
Also. Do splits with the missionaries. The members here are so awesome at that. Its not hard. All they ask you to do is bear your testimony about certain topics. But that is the most effective part of missionary work..when the members bear testimony. Jeffry Scott Nielsen. Im talking to you right now. I wish that I would ahve gone with the missionaries before my mission. It would have prepared me a bit for what was coming. Find some missionaries. Right now. And go with them at least a couple times. It will give you an idea of what its like to teach someone who has never had the Gospel. Also, you get to be a part of the joy missionaries get to feel when their investigators accept their messages. Im serious. Do it. Please.
Okay. Sorry about that. But really Im not sorry. I love you all. God loves you all. God Loves all His children and wants them ALL to return to Him. D&C 18:10 "Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God." Evern single soul is great in the site of God. D&C 18:15-16
Love you all. Hugs to everyone! Have a great week.
