Well, the highlight of the week was yesterday, when we were
able to help a couple understand the importance of being married. The woman,
María Lopez, REALLY wants to get baptized. She has truly converted and has
mentioned how frustrating it is not being able to do what she wants (and needs
to do) because of her civil standing.
Well as far as preparation for the PT test, I’m doing well. Got up to 5 pull ups now so tha’s an improvement
of the 2 I could do when I got to this sector! I feel like the sprint is going to be the
hardest. Hopefull, the weather will warm up this week. It may be spring but it’s still winter here.
I was asked to give a talk at the branch conference we will
this week. The talk is on how we can prepare and get something out of the
conference talks and classes. It was perfect because the following week is
GENERAL CONFERENCE!!! WOOHOO!!!!
Overall were just getting in our groove still. This week was
pretty uneventful for us (even with the earthquake). All the families are with their families in the
CAMPO (countryside) for the Independence day activities. We missed out big time,
but still managed to get some really good empanadas! So, it wasn’t a complete loss!
The branch put on an activity and we ended up being
waiters. One more thing to add to my
resumé!! Lol
David didn’t end up coming to church, but we found out that
he's probably not going win his court case.
We will be patient and support him as he goes through his trial.
During studies this week, I learned from the example of
Amulek. You can be a great missionary and really get to the people, if you are
patient and soft spoken and ask good questions. SO, I’ve tried to be soft
spoken. For example here is the discussion I had with a less active sister
recently: "Okay where are we gonna see you? IN church! , Okay, and at what
time? 10am! Now how about you show up
early? OKAY! What are you gonna do
tonight? READ! and why? BECAUSE I NEED THE BELSSINGS, ALRIGHT HERMANA!!!!
WOOHOO!! She ended up making it to
church. I still need to be fine tune my
approach, but I am getting better.
Have a great week and stay safe!
