Well this week was a pretty normal week! Yesterday for church it was district conference. (Like stake conference). President and Hermana Robertson were there and they gave really amazing talks! Hermana Robertson talked about the talk "Beware of Pride" by President Benson. President Robertson talked about Nefi and Laman. How they both left home, both returned to Jeruselam twice, etc. but there is a distinct difference between them. We want to be like Nefi. He found out for himself the truth of the gospel of Christ, he gained his own testimony and acted on it. He never complained. He trusted in the Lord and recieved the many blessings that come from all of this. My invitation to you all is to study about Nefi (in english: Nephi) and apply the principles you learn to your life.
This week I have been studying part of the talk Becoming a Consecrated Missionary by Tad R. Callister. (a thousands thanks to mom for sending it to me!). Something that struck me hard this morning is that all the commandments we have are of the Lord. They are not of man. We need not make excuses of why we can't follow through with them, because they are not of man they are of God. I testify that as we are obedient and try to make Gods will ours that we will recieve blessings in our life.
We are working with Jose who has a baptismal date for 9 de Mayo. Really he is a miracle because when we first talked to him he didn't want anything to do with the gospel and now he is excited and has desires to be baptized. The only thing I worry about is if he really has a testimony. I just need to rememer that he needs to meet the Lords requirements for baptism and he will have more learning after.
We are also working with Fernando. I have seen such a change in him. When we first met him he didn't really want to talk to us. Yesterday in our leccion he expressed his desires that he wants to recieve an answer and is going to pray for help to recognize the answers from the Lord. He really is a golden investigator. And he came to church yesterday! He also has plans with some of the single adult members that accompanied us yesterday to go to institute.
We are still working with Enzo and Mirian. The brother and mother of two of the recent converts in our area. Enzo is reading and praying, but still doesn't have much desire to actually find out for himself and make changes in his life. So we are tying to figure out how to help him.
To retain we are visiting Nazarena, Mariano, Luclia y Franco. Nazarena came with us one afternoon to help us in the missionary work.
The menos activo familias that we are working with are the familia Garcia, familia Sabor, and the familia Kloster.
Any advice or suggestions or just to write, don't hesitate to do so! Love you all so much! I am super excited to talk to you on Mothers day!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Burr
