This week was super long!! I got to my sector
and all I can say is that things needed to change so we took the whole week to work and change everything. The ward is small but the same amount of people attend like
my other ward. I got here and
they had not been working at all. They spent a lot of time with members and less
actives and were not progressing and their only investigators were found in
January of this year and they are still working with them.... But I'm excited
because I feel like I was sent here to help... not just in my sector but in my
zone because this zone has the lowest number of baptisms and on top of that it has a lot of
disobedient missionaries. Soooooo, it's going to be rough but I am excited to
see what happens.
We really didn't
have anyone that they were working with to get baptized so we went looking and
after a good day of walking and talking to people we contacted a man that was
standing outside his house. We started talking to him.. he had a football
jacket on from the states, so I started talking to him about that... after a little while, he said that his son is in Utah studying English and UVU!!! This was
cool... now on top of that his son will be baptized this Saturday in
Utah!
We met with him again and taught him about the restoration, then we challenged him to be baptized and he took the date.
I know that God has people chosen that are ready to hear his
message but all we have to do is to talk and to open our mouths. I also learned
that I need to work a lot more on being a good leader and studying more about
the life of Christ so I can try and be like him. I know that this is true and
that this is the work of God. I love this work and I love serving and growing
closer to God. I know that God loves us and I know that even though things are
hard we can get through them but we have to trust that we can do it, but only
through Gods help.
I love you all!!
Con mucho amor,
