Hola mi familia! Happy 4th of July!
This week was awesome!
The best part of the week was definitely Sunday. Yeimi and José
came to church again and absolutely loved it. They were able to stay all three
hours this time. At one point I looked over at Yeimi and she looked like her
eyes were watery, so I think she really felt the spirit during testimony
meeting. Then we took their 3 year old daughter to primary, and they were a
little nervous because she is really shy and hasn't been around other kids
before. But it turns out she loved it too! They tried to leave third hour
because they thought their daughter would be hungry, but when they went to get
her from primary, the daughter wouldn't leave. She was actually avoiding eye
contact so she wouldn't have to leave. It was super cute. So they stayed for
third hour. And it was great because José had the chance to have an interview
with bishop and talk about his situation with the divorce/marriage. It was all
around a great day of church. And I counted and there were 17
investigators/less actives that were able to attend today. Some of them were
brought by member friends. It was the fullest gospel principles I've ever been
in. It was just awesome.
We also were able to meet with an investigator that we found last
week. Her name is ilda. She is from Honduras, la lima. Which I'm pretty sure
was one of Emilie areas. But while she was in Honduras, she was going to church
for about a year and a half, and she wanted to get baptized but she couldn't
because her husband was here in the states and they weren't married yet. So
fast forward 6 years and she is now here. We only met with her for a few
minutes, but she told us how she wants to get baptized, but it would just take
time because her husband doesn't really like Mormons and they still aren't
married. But we told her that we would love to start teaching her the lessons
again to work with her to be baptized. We also found out that her sister, who
was baptized 6 years ago, lived with ilda and wanted us to visit her as well.
It was a super cool blessing to find them, because I've been
feeling like we are finding a lot of people here, but no one was really
sticking out as "coming forth"(d+c 20:37) but now after this week's
progress with José and Yeimi and with this new investigator, I feel like I've
found one of the reasons I'm serving here at this time.
I love elder black and he is really determined to work his hardest
to the end. There is a lot we can still do in the next two weeks.
