Hello family and friends! :)
We had a pretty rough
week this week, but finished strong! We had a LOT of time walking around
this week and found it really hard to find new people to teach, in general! But, we kept the faith and just kept on
walking.... and walking....
Ga** wasn't
able to come to church yesterday because she had to go out of town with
her family. We did get permission from our mission president to baptize her with 2 asistances to church and the 3rd be her confirmation, so we
will be trying to do that soon! (Normally people need to attend church at least three times before they are baptized.)
Jo** was not
in his house pretty much ALL week long, but we finally found him
yesterday afternoon and read the introduction to the Book of Mormon with him, hoping to get him to feel the need to read more. He wasn't able to come to
church yesterday either, mainly because we weren't able to go invite him
to come since he wasn't ever home. But, we have faith that he can still
progress and will be baptized in the Lord's timing :)
Lu** is doing GREAT! He came to church again yesterday, which means that this Sunday, the 14th, he can be baptized! :) We are going to have his baptism interview this week and then have the baptism Sunday.
We are super excited and he seems to be too! He is such a sweet, raisin
of a little man :) You guys will love him when you see him!
Other
than that, we haven't seen hardly anyone this week because everyone
was gone. We don't know why they left, but we think it's because everyone
just got out of school for summer (weird to think it's summer here when it's
winter for you all! haha!) and also, soccer is starting up big again,
which means that the TVs are blaring and people aren't coming to the door
to hear about Christ. But, we are doing the best that we can :)
Another
cool thing that we started this week is sharing "He is the Gift" video
and pass along cards. If you haven't watched the movie, DO IT! In the
first 10 seconds, you can feel the Spirit. It's pretty amazing to me how
the church came out with the "Because of Him" video at Easter, and now
they've created this! The church is using many ways and resources to
get people to come unto Christ, including putting the "He is the Gift"
video on New York City big screens! Pretty amazing, if you ask me :) The
Lord is definitely accelerating His work!
Well
guys, I hope that you all have a wonderful week this week! I love you
and miss you all so much and will talk to you next week! Talk to you
soon!
