Hola mi familia!
Wow, I can't believe I've been out for a year already. This year
has been crazy, but it has been a growing experience I will never forget. I
also can't believe that I'm still in my second area, haha. But that's going to
change here soon. We had interviews with president and he said that I'll for
sure be moving from here in a couple weeks. I'm really excited for the new
adventures.
Well this week was just great. It really flew by for some reason.
On Tuesday we went on exchanges with the zone leaders and I got to
work with elder Waldo. It went pretty well. We did a lot of knocking doors and
I learned a few new ways to do door approaches. Especially using the scriptures
as a way to spark interest.
Then Wednesday night we had our ward rescue night. We didn't have as
much success all around as the first time, but it was still a success. We
visited the henriquez family with our first counselor in the bishopric. He is a
very straightforward man, and I think he pretty clearly related to them about
how this is the only church with the priesthood to get into the celestial
kingdom. Then on Friday elder Jones and I passed by again and taught them the
plan of salvation. One of the only questions the dad had was why the third
heaven was called telestial. We felt like it went really well. They still don't
want to come to church because they are worried that their children will annoy
others. So we are bringing a member with us who has pretty rowdy kids to invite
them. But they are reading
in the Book of Mormon, so we hope with a member inviting instead of us they
will come.
We've also been continuing to work with Maria Reyes, this week we
read chapter three of the book of Mormon with her because she read the second
one on her own. She even gave a summary of it without us asking for it. We are
going back this Tuesday with a member that's her same age that we have felt
would be a good fellowshiper for her. She also said that she was reading the
4th chapter as well!
On Saturday we went to west Nashville and went former investigator
finding. It was fun, but I'm not sure how much success came out of it. We did
take the opportunity to go to Hattie b's. They are always packed and we found
out why. It was super good.
And then on Sunday we went to our Maria Reyes' son's first
birthday party and It was a lot bigger than I expected. But I found out just
how long I've been here, because 70% of the people there were former
investigators haha. We also saw a few inactive members there. I'd say it was a
success. And we kinda got parked in because we parked on the driveway and like
20 other cars parked there. It was interesting getting out.
Love you all! Have a great week!
