But we had a great week!
Monday
- We didn't do much for pday, we just chilled. Then in the nighttime we
had a really great experience. We had family home evening with a family,
but when we got there, there wasn't a man of 18 years or older. So we
called a member and told him to come. He came as fast as he could, but
we still had to wait quite a while. The members were telling us to just
come in and that it didn't matter. After like 20 minutes I felt like
maybe we were being a little exaggerated, but we decided to be obedient
and not go in. Well after like 5 minutes, a man came buy selling some weird type of deep fried tortilla with sugar. We said no to him at
first. but then we felt really bad, so we called him back and bought
some. Then he asked us if we were missionaries and we said yes, and he
said that he was listening to the missionaries and was going to get
baptized. But he had to move really abruptly here to Puebla, and lost
all contact with missionaries and the church. Now he is listening to us
and came to church yesterday! It really was a miracle that we found him.
In doctrine and covenants 82:10 the lord tells us that he is obligated
to bless us when we do what he says.Thats a pretty crazy thing to think
about. We, as human beings, can obligate God. All we have to do is obey.
If we had disobeyed that night and entered that house with only women,
maybe nothing really bad would've happened. But we never would have met
that man. And maybe he never would have had the chance to accept the
gospel again in this life. As we obey God, in whatever aspect of this
mortal experience, he HAS to bless us. He has promised us that, and
since he is God and he is perfect, he keeps his promises. Do what God
wants us to do in this life, and you'll be surprised at what he does he
for you further down the road.
Okay...
Tuesday- Not a ton happened, but we did get to commit two people for baptism on the 17th of November, which is always great:)
Wednesday
- We had district meeting, and as a district we set a lot of goals
together, which really helped us. Then we found 7 new investigators! 2
different families! And one of them has 18 year old triplets! That was
nuts haha. They are awesome families too, really willing to listen and
accept.
Thursday - Thursday was a pretty normal day, we did find another new investigator though.:)
Friday
- I did a baptismal interview, and it was a great learning experience.
Usually people are prepared for baptism, and they pass. This is the
first time ive had to say no and postpone the baptism. She had some
personal things she has to take care of first. She had been afraid to
tell the other elders about it, but when I interviewed her it all came
out. I was really afraid to offend her, but i knew that she needed to
wait to be baptized. she took it really well though, and i will be doing
another interview with her again hopefully this Friday:)
Oh and btw, we do baptismal interviews so that we can be sure people
know what they are getting into, and that are ready to change certain
things that they'll need to leave behind if they are going to be
baptized. Its not like an exam or anything like that. They are really
great experiences.
Saturday - I did another baptismal interview! This time with an 18 year old girl named Ashley. She passed with flying colors:)
Sunday
- I went to help the sisters in my district give some blessings to
their investigators. That was a good experience:) And almost all our
investigators came to church!
Today we just played volleyball. We played volleyball instead of soccer because the sisters came, and hey don't like soccer.
And ya.
