This week was good. It’s been refreshing to have the
elders living with us, it has brought a new energy here. I’m really excited to
get out and find. This week we’ve seen a little progress with Amy and Edgar
Sanchez. We hadn’t had contact with them for a few weeks and so we decided to
just drop in on them. And we found out that Amy’s phone hadn’t been working for
the past week and so she wasn’t ignoring our texts, they just wouldn’t come
through. So we came back the next day and read in the Book of Mormon with her.
She really likes it and she tells us she is so peaceful every time she reads
it. So we are just trying to figure out the best way to work with both of them,
because they work opposite schedules. Then we also had some success with former
contacting.
With the new area book, it actually reminds you of follow up dates
with formers. So that caused us to go see Ninfa. At the beginning of the lesson
it wasn’t sounding good. She basically stated her purpose as just wanting to
hear the word of god and how she didn’t want to join a religion because it
separates people. But then we asked her how she felt the first time she met
with missionaries. And she told us of how peaceful and happy she felt. And
so we promised her that if she came to church that she would feel the same way.
And she said she would come. Then yesterday she came and she loved it! She
stayed for the first 2 hours, and had to leave for church. She mentioned how
everything that was talked about is what we should be talking about for our
children. But we are going to start working with her this week to see if she
will progress.
I’ve been reading a lot in the Book of Mormon this week
and I’m in the end of Helaman. My favorite part this week is how much I’ve
noticed the love of god in his warnings to the nephites. He warns of the
dangers that will come with being unrighteous and tells them that all they need
to do is repent and he will bless them. And he warns them so much. It really
stood out to me this week. It testified that prophets really are sent because
God loves us and doesn’t want us to be punished.
Anyways that was my week. :)
