Hola mi familia!
This
week has been great. I absolutely love it here. I'm so excited for this
transfer and the upcoming months here in Kentucky. This week has had its ups
and downs, but overall just great.
So
for the down side, we have an investigator, Luis, who was supposed to get
baptized this past Friday. But the day of his baptismal interview, some leaders
from his church passed by to see him at work. They basically taught a lot of
false things to him. One was that he had already received all the ordinances
that all churches require and that because he was no longer going to their
church, that was the reason for his girlfriend leaving and taking their kids.
It really scared him and he doesn't want to be baptized anymore. Or At least he
wants more time. We tried to teach him the authority and we brought up acts 19:
1-6 with him. We felt the spirit testify to him that it was true and it clicked
in his eyes, that it really does matter how you get baptized, but he then denied
it. So we are going to give him a little more time, but we are both feeling
that if he continues how he is, we are going to have to put a pause on him for
awhile. We feel it to be the best for him. But that's it with the sad.
The
good news this week is we have found a lot of cool people! We have been trying
to sift through the list of investigators that we have and we've been able to
cut it down.
We
also had a couple great lessons with the ramirez family. It is a single mom who
was baptized 20 years ago and doesn't really know why. She has two kids, 13 and
9, who are both investigators now. They are the coolest. They had been taught
the first lesson and we taught them the plan of salvation on Friday. At the end
of the lesson, I felt that we should set a baptismal date with them. I also
felt that there was no need to wait. So we set a date with the two kids for the
15th of September! So not this Friday, but the next. They are pretty excited
about it, and we are going to be working with them daily to make sure they
reach their goal. But it's going to be great!
Elder
Hamilton is really awesome! He's super humble and really wants to improve! I
already love him so much. I'm excited for the time here with him. He's
originally from Colorado, lived in California for awhile and then two months
before he came out his family moved to American fork. They live right across
the street from the temple. So really close to us. He's been out for one less
transfer than me, but we should be going home about the same times because of
the start time of byu. He did gymnastics and dance in high school so he's a
very high energy kid. We get along really well so far. And I'm excited to see
what I can learn from him.
Love
yall!
Have
a great week!
