Hi everyone! How are things going? This week
has been really good. We´ve had some of the highest numbers I´ve had my whole
mission. We´re working really hard. When Elder Cornish came a while ago he told
us we should try having an invitation day in our branches and wards so I
decided it was a good idea. I talked to the branch president and we set it up
for last sunday. We invited the whole world and the members too and we saw the
fruits! On sunday we had 98 people in church (our normal attendance is like 65)!
It was SOOO awesome! People just kept coming and coming and we had to keep
getting more chairs from other rooms. Our chapel was completely full! That was
one of the coolest experiences I´ve had in the mission. Just us had 7
investigators and 7 inactives there. I hope the members felt really good too
and will want to continue inviting people every week! I really want to hit 100
one week. Emily and Johan are continuing to progress and will be ready for baptism
next Saturday! They are really excited! They even gave us a reference of one of
their friends and she came the first sunday. A lady we’ve been teaching came to
church again on Sunday! We had a super good talk with her yesterday asking her
what she believed and how she felt and she honestly has a testimony of
everything we´ve taught her. We asked her to pray about it with real intent so
I´m hoping she´ll get an answer this week. Mariano came with his whole family
on Sunday! Alexis was going to pay the taxi (300 pesos which is a ton for them
here) but he hurt his foot and couldn´t come. Yesterday we had a zone conference
with all the missionaries in Santiago. It was so good! We heard from Pres and
Sister Douglas and the assistants and a few others. I learned a lot. And we got
a Thanksgiving feast! The class we´re doing with the members is going really
well. We do lots of practices and games to help them get involved and I really
think they all are more confident to be member missionaries now. And they´re
doing their homework and giving us references. :) Today we had another Santiago
activity in the abandoned airstrip. It was really fun. The English class is
going well. We had like 8 in the class this week. It´s mostly kids or teenagers
but we also have a Haitain investigator of the elders come because he´s
learning Spanish. But everything is great. Sounds like you had a great time
with your FHE and the cooking class! Wow they´re just now getting snow in
Rexburg? I thought they would have had some already. Looks like it was a lot
though! Thanks for the pics. I´m glad Chelsea had her baby! He´s so cute! Have
a great week!
