Hey!
Well we baptized again this week! A kid named Lucas! He is
super cool! And making great progress! This was really a miracle baptism! But
he got baptized and confirmed! He is a great kid! He is 20 and from Paraguay! He
has great desires to follow Christ and change his life! So we will have to wait
and see and help him get that change! But I’m doing great! We have been working
really hard looking for new investigators! Working a lot with the members and
strengthening the relationship we have with them! A little bit of the way that
we are working here is. We try to do most of the work through the members
because they know the people and can help us to the people who are ready and
all that stuff but what we do is like on the way to a lesson or the neighbors
of a member or investigator or something we work on short lessons. Like a three
minute spiel about the Gospel and what we teach to see if they are willing to
listen to us. Come to church and be baptized by someone who hold the authority
of God. And since the Zone leaders are in our ward we work a lot with them and
I had the opportunity to go out with them a couple times and they have taught
me a lot! It’s crazy because they showed me that it only takes those 5 minutes
to tell if it is worth our time to continue with these people. And its not that
we don’t love these people that we aren’t willing to give them all our time and
all. But we are looking for the people that are prepared! We know that the Lord
is preparing his people and we need to find them! And we need to determine if
people are going to progress or not! The Zone leaders don’t waste time! Haha! It
was really impressive to see the way they work! And that’s the way we all need
to be! God is preparing them through the members and the Missionaries and other
ways! We just need to be in tune with the spirit and help them that are willing
to be helped! But yeah. Things are going great! I love helping people and
seeing the change in their lives! This week we had Zone conference with
President. He showed us videos of Messi and Michael Jordan and a video of him
bungee jumping. Haha! He talked a lot about Faith and that we need to take that
jump and Trust in the lord that he will protect us and help us always!
But I am doing great! I noticed this week that my Spanish isn’t
as good as it could be. So I’m going to be working on my Spanish to see if I
can improve it! Well this week Argentina won again so we are moving on to the
next round! I think USA will move on too and Mexico. But Mexico has to win this
next game. If not they are out! They ruined it with the tie against Brazil. But
at least they didn’t lose. In our district there is a girl from Brazil and my
comp is DL and so they are always fighting and placing bets haha! But it’s all
out of fun... I think... haha! Oh and the girl from Brazil sends her love to
the family
Hope everything is good and that you are all well! I didn’t
get an Email from mom this week so I guess I’ve been out so long that she is
starting to forget me..... but it’s okay. I still love her! And I’ll be home in
about a year to bother her! <3
Love you mom! And everyone!
I pulled out my new jersey while we were filling up to Font! because in the morning at 10 we had a baptism and then the Argentina game was at 1 so we were getting pumped!!
Bautismo! Lucas got baptized! Whoo!
