heyyyy. how is everyone?? sorry i'm writing a
day late... there are WAY too many holidays in this country. haha. everyone was
closed yesterday for some catholic holiday. but it's been a great week! we had
the zone conference with Elder cornish on thursday. it was soooo good. he
talked to us about how to have more success. he said that it all starts with
our planning. if we aren't organized, we will have way less baptisms. and he
also mentioned several tips to help us have more like work with the members, continue
to find new people every day, find inactives, serve, etc. it really got us
excited to work even harder. we've also had a lot of success with the people
we're teaching this week! Eva's husband is starting to show lots of interest
now! before it was just eva and her 2 daughters that participated in the
lessions. but on saturday he came and joined in. he was going through a hard
time recently and promised god that he would go to church if he helped him
through this difficulty. well God did. and so he had to keep his part of the
deal. so him, eva, and their daughters all came on sunday!!!! it was sooo
awesome! i really have a lot of hope for this family. i hope they get
baptized soon. also, we've been visiting this guy. i don't know if i've told
you about him yet... but his wife and kids live in the states. well he has been
showing lots of interest. we invited him last week to church and he said he would
come and we said we would save him a seat.. and jokingly we told him that
if he didn't come, we would take a pic of his empty seat to show him the next
visit. well... he didn't come... so we took the pic with looking super sad.
haha. we showed him it on thursday and he thought it was really funny. well he
came on sunday! but there was someone already sitting next to us when he got
there and he was like "you didn't save me a seat!" haha it was really
funny. but he stayed the whole time and really liked it! Another man we’re
teaching and his family couldn't come on sunday because his son was sick, but he
told us he wanted the blessings of the góspel for his wife and son that
aren't baptized yet and we told him if he starts coming back, he can be the one
to baptize them, and we seemed happy about that. we've been visiting an
inactive lady for a long time now and she has come twice to church, but it's
hard to come alone so we're trying to work with her husband. well this week we
really got him excited to come this sunday. he even went looking for his white
shirt and was practicing with his tie! :) it was really cute. some people just
need some encouragment and someone to get them excited again. i hope they come.
Another man is really progressing as well. he read and studied and
practically memorized his assignment to read 3 nephi 11. he explained the whole
thing to us, and he accepted an invitation to be baptized! but... we still have
the problem of getting him to church. there isn't anyone with a car. he's going
to try to find a friend to help him though. we're hoping! but that's about it.
super successful week! we're being blessed! my companion is finishing the
mission in just a month so she can visit her old áreas. we're going to go to
tamboril again in like 2 weeks! and everyone from her group that have been
there are going with us... my mom hermana monegro, my step mom hemarna navas
and Elder castro that was there with me for my first transfer. i'm excited! we
were going to go yesterday, but the branch in tamboril had a trip planned to
the temple. that's so exciting that Scott and Maureah are coming for a few
days! that will be so fun to go to the state fair! have you guys been going to
dallas summer musicals? well i love you all soooo much! have a wonderful week!
