Family!
I had a good week. Yesterday in church we had 2 investigadores!!! I was so so happy when we finally had people in the reunión sacramental cause no one has come since I have been in this area. Their names are Jesús and Juana. They are the parents of an investigador that had a fecha baustismal and now we cannot have contact with him (Ivan). We went and found them and arrived at church together. Also, their 6 year old daughter came, Ella es un amor. During the sacrament meeting I was a little worried cause Jesus seemed bored and that he didn't like it much. I just prayed that he could be able to feel the spirit and feel "full". We attended Sunday School next. After Sunday school was over they were talking to the teacher and Jesús said he felt like he had been here before. It also helped them to have a good experience because the sister of Jesús was there. She is a member, but is less active and has been sick for a while. After all of the meetings were over we were talking and they really liked church and it was a positive experience for them. I was so happy that the spirit touches the people's hearts and even though things aren't perfect in the church it is the spirit that makes it meaningful and a good experience. Also, it was the birthday of Jesús and Juana was telling us how great of a gift it was to them to be spending his birthday going to church and getting closer to Christ.
At one point Juana had a fecha bautismal for September 26 but we could not find her for a few weeks and we had only taught her the restoration. When we passed by their house Saturday night we were talking to her and she said she still wanted to be baptized and she was saying how the baptism was supposed to be that day. We explained to her that there is a preparation and we are going to work even harder to have lessons with her, even though she has the craziest schedule in the world, to help her be baptized. We also taught her family that night. She and Jesús have 6 children and 4 can be baptized. It is going to be a lot of work to help this family, but I believe that the Lord has been preparing them and now is their time.
Ok a real fast experience! Yesterday we did a contact and the guy we talked to said that he saw us talking to people before and he thought that if we ever talked to him he was going to test us to see if we were nice. He said we passed the test and we can talk to him again and share our message with him. This is just another testimony to me that we are examples in every moment. The people recognize us as Representatives of Christ and we plant seeds just by our example! Go and be wonderful examples of Christ!
Have a fantastic week!
Con mucho amor,
