This week from Monday to Thursday went super super fast. But the weekend was verrrrrry long. Still not sure why. But I'm happy to be here again, not that I have anything very interesting to say. haha
Monday after writing, we had a pretty regular day. Had 2 appointments with investigators and then went home. We don't usually have a lot of time to teach Mondays, so thats kind of sad.
Tuesday we had a Multizone Conferencia with our Presidente. It was his last here. Our new President comes this week (We're all pretty scared.) It was a great conference. I learned some good things. Also, I got the package from the Ward. Thank you very much to everyone! We are loving the treats. The card from the YW was super cute. Thanks a lot!
Wednesday we had a district meeting. It's my favorite part of every week (thats a lie...haha) But It was good. We set goals as a district because we haven't been doing super awesome. We had a super awesome lesson with our super awesome investigators Noehmi and Claudia, then finished the day normal.
Thursday, Planeacion. We did some good snacking..i mean planning...haha
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were super long. Lots of walking. Lots of people forgetting our appointments... :(
This week is going to be better. We're feeling pretty good and relaxed. Ready to start a new week and work really hard. I haven't really told you guys about our investigators, so thats what I'm going to do this week.
First we have J. The hnas were teaching him before I got here. But he is super awesome. His baptism is scheduled for this week, but he still says he doesn't feel ready. We're praying a lot for him and I have faith he can be baptized. He has given up smoking, prays every day, reads the Book of Mormon a lot (which is a big deal because he hates reading) goes to church every sunday and wants to pay tithing.. He is probably about 40 years old and has a lot of faith. We are working a lot with him.
Second, N. She had about 2 lessons with Hna Rs and Rd before I got here. Rs says that she has changed A LOT. She knows the Gospel is true and is already so devoted. She reads a lot from the Book of Mormon, and has already invited friends to listen to us and come to church. She has 2 kids and lives with her "esposo." She wants to get married so she can get baptized, but he is still really closed to the Church and doesn't want to get married...so thats what we are working on with her.
C. I feel like C is my daughter. Shes older than me and has kids, but she is the first Investigator that Hna Rs and I have together. haha. She is the friend that N invited. The first lesson I had with N, C came. We taught the Restoration, N bore her testimony and C has been firm ever since. She has already seen a lot of changes in her family thanks to the Gospel. Her husband doesnt want to listen yet, but comes to church with her every sunday. In fact, her whole family comes. She's great. I'm so excited for her. She has already made some big changes and is so excited to move forward and keep learning.
R. We've only had one lesson with R, but he already has a ton of faith. In the lesson, we explained how to pray about the Book of Mormon with a real intent and sincere heart and he was like, "Thats what I havent been doing! I've prayed but I don't think I had a sincere heart. I'm gonna do it!" We are so excited to have another lesson him.
Cs. Cs is a viejito, but has a lot of faith and loves hearing the Word of God. He hasnt been able to attend church with us, but i think he will be able to progress.
Those are our investigators that are progressing really well. We have lots more, but we are still working with them. Its a lot harder for some people.
Well. I don't know what else to say...Thats pretty much it. I don't have an adaptor to send photos, but I'll see what I can do.
Gracias a todos!
Les quiero mucho!
