Hola mi familia!
This week was just awesome! We've made some really good
progress with the Rivera family. Tuesday we made a baptismal calendar with them
and they loved it. They have been marking off every day that they read and pray
with cute little check marks. Then Thursday while we were on exchanges, elder
Lachance and elder black went and taught them. Carmen gave a summary of the
second chapter of the Book of Mormon, and as elder Lachance put it "she
summarized better than Joseph smith himself" Then they taught them the law
of chastity and after they read the pamphlet Fabian said that it's really clear
what they have to do.
So hopefully that means they are getting married soon. If
so we are really on track for the 3rd! We haven't seen them since, but
hopefully we will find them at home tonight.
While on exchanges this week, I was put on the finding
crew. It was a ton of fun. Because we just were talking with everyone and
having really good success with it. By the end of the day we had found 10 new
solid investigators for their area. Elder Bayles said they were the best
investigators they had found all transfer. It was honestly just a lot of fun.
We had a few full lessons just standing outside where we found the people. Our
president challenged us to talk to 8 more people a day in a non-door knocking
way. He guessed we were at about 2 a day, and if we did 8 more a day then we
would be talking to 36,000 more people a month as a mission. And in those terms
there's bound to be more baptisms. It's definitely working so far.
We recently got a new ward mission leader and he is so
excited for the work. He has set a goal with us to have 50 baptisms by the end
of the year as a war. And we've been making a plan to accomplish this goal.
Our last two correlations have been the most spiritual
correlations I've been in. It's super cool! He keeps saying we are going to
need more missionaries soon here. This last one we all talked and figured out
who would be the best fellowshipers for each of our investigators.
He's definitely the best ward mission leader I've had so
far.
Wednesday after zone conference, president invited us and
the zone leaders over to have dinner with his family and it was so cool!! His
house was amazing. It felt like we were in the temple. His family is just the
perfect example family. I also got to use my dicing skills to chop up a ton of
tomatoes. And sister stone is a 5 star chef. But yeah that was just one of the
coolest experiences of the mission.
Other than that the week was just the same, finding
constantly! I'm loving it out here, have a great week y'all
