Well this week was pretty active! We had the ground breaking
for the temple in Concepcion. It is awesome to see the progress in the mission
and the country to have the blessing of a second temple! Speakers including the area presidency and
President Arrington, did the groundbreaking ceremony!
Teaching wise, we have a solid group of people who are doing
well. Martin, the grandson of the branch president, is a goofy kid and the family
is progressing well. We started teaching about the commandments this week!!!!
Another family were teaching is the Pastenes family. The
oldest son Christian told us to come by to visit his less active father and two
sisters, (all the kids are in the mid 20's). But the mom isn’t a member. They
really like church and have come the last two Sundays. We are trying to get the
mom to open up a little more. It appears her husband speaks for her, but every
lesson she opens up more and more!
Maria Lopez is our eternal investigator because of her
marital status. This week we all felt it
was her time to act. She’s being really strong because all of her family is
bullying her because of what she believes.
She feels like her kids aren't getting the right idea of what the Church
is because her dad and brothers are always bashing on it. But this week we gave
her a blessing of comfort and I really felt that in the next couple weeks she's
going to commit herself with a baptismal date
I got really deep into the book “Jesus the Christ this week
and the war chapters of BoM. It made me think about how when you keep the
commandments as soldiers, like the Strippling Warriors.
Well Elder Livingston and I will stay together this cambio. So we’re gonna stay hard at it and help them
to come unto Christ!
OH! I also am
starting language study of Portuguese! Gotta
take advantage of the gift of tongues while ya can!
Okay have a great week!
Elder Garrett Watts
