First off to answer dads questions about Lujan... There are two branches here in Lujan. I am serving in Lujan 1. Serving in the same branch with my companion and I are the Zones leaders and the District leaders. So overall two companionships of elders and one of sisters in our branch. In the branch of Lujan 2 there is one companionship of sisters and one of elders.
Here is what is happening as far as investigators go, please keep them in mind while you are praying. Thanks.
This week we worked with the ------- Family. Jose (papa), Mabel (mama), Axel, Lucas, and Hernan. We have been working with Axel for a while, he has the desire to be baptized but doesn't have permission from his parents. But a few weeks ago we started teaching the parents. Mabel is a Jehovah Witness and likes to listen, but doesn't really accept everything, she will come with time. This week we set a date for Jose to be baptized, 16 de Mayo. He says that he prayed to have the power to cure and that he cures people. So we have been focusing on the priesthood. He understands that he doesn't have the priesthood, but still doesn't understand everything clearly (at least I don't think, but with time he will). So I am praying that he will clearly understand the priesthood authority and power and all that comes with it.
We are also working with Fernando. His brother, and the family of his brother-wife and daughter, are members. When we first started working with him he said he had a desire to change. There is a member that has come with us twice that went to school with him and this is really helping. He is really sincere and honest in his answers to all of our questions and we can see that he wants to make a change in his life. Yesterday he prayed for the first time in front of us. He says he still doens't feel it in his heart. So I am pryaing that he will recognize, feel, and act more in the promptings of the spirit.
We are also working with Mirian and Enzo. The mother and brother of Luclia and Franco (recent converts). Enzo feels he is wasting time playing too many computer games. He said that he is looking for an objective in his life. We are really trying to help him cause we know this is what he needs. He has desires to listen to us and such, but still doesn't have the complete desire to really know so he can make the changes. I pray that he will have the sincere desire to really act and change so he will understand and find what he is searching for.
As always we are working with the familia Garcia. We also started working with another family menos activo. The Famila Sabor. They are really great. They really believe in the church and we have a spiritual leccion con ellos. The thing they lack is to come to church. They had a bad experience in the church years ago and still haven't come back. But they are starting to understand that they need to.
Also, Hermana Passos and I went to the ZOO!!!! yay! The zoo in Lujan is a bit different cause you can touch the animals! It was fun! We didn't have time to go to everything in the zoo, but we went to all the cool animals! It was just peachy! I loved it, it smelled like a farm and I felt a little more at home!
Have a fantastic week! Share the gospel with others! Remember we are all children of our Heavenly Father and He loves us all!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Burr
