9-26-16 Letter
Well this last week was full of miracles here in our sector!
So general conference is coming up this week and its the best time of the year
to bring investigators to church and have them feel the spirit listening to the
Prophet and the Twelve. So this last week we have focused on finding new people
to bring to conference and prepare to be baptised!! So we were able to find a
few...
This last week we got a reference from a RM in our
ward...and it turns out its his girlfriend and they want to get married and she
wants to get married in the temple so when we got to his house she was
basically asking us when she could get baptised. Her name is Jennifer and if
everything goes well she is going to get baptised this weekend! She came to
church yesterday and met the bishop and the members and loved it. We had a
super powerful experience this last week teaching her. The first lesson we
taught is the restoration and we felt the spirit super powerfully. She told us
that a couple of years ago she prayed and had that same exact experience and
feeling as when we were teaching her and talking about The Book of Mormon. I
love being able to teach and testify about the Book of Mormon because it is the
keystone of our church and religion. Its also the key to a real conversion.
So another is a reference from Hno. Najera that always
goes on visits with us. So he has a niece that lives with them that we thought
was a member but turns out she isnt...so this next week she is going to be
baptised too because she had already been going to church for over a month
before they even told us! Her name is Karla and she already has a ton of
friends in church and when we invited her to be baptised she said ´´YES I have
been waiting for you guys to ask me!´´ And she is going to be baptised for
general conference as well. She is super excited and the ward is super excited
to be able to have more members and converts in the church!
We are also going to have another baptism in La Isla
Trinitaria because right now the sector is closed and there are not Elders. But
my companion served there so we have been working there a little bit just to
finish up the program they had. His name is Fabricio and his story is super
cool. So his brother got in a super bad car wreck and he promised God that if
his brother got better(and he did) that he would find Him and go to
church...and thats when we found him! He is super stoked for his baptism and he
gets along super well with the members...He is super convert and cant wait for
his baptism!!
Also Jonathan is super super close and fasted this last
weekend to see if he should be baptised for conference...and we have an
appointment with him tomorrow so pray for him please!!
And tomorrow we have Mission Leadership council so that
should be exciting.
Romanos 1.16 For
I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is
the power of God unto salvation to every one that
believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
I just wanted to share with you guys a scripture that
I have been thinking about a lot this week.. I have learned so much about
sharing the gospel on my mission...I have grown so much. And I can honestly say
that I feel this same way...we all should. I have learned not to fear sharing
the gospel with anyone because its our responsibility as followers of Christ.
The worst thing that can happen is that they will say no and then we can share
this gospel with the next one! I challenge you guys to share the gospel with
someone new this week! I love you guys a ton!
