So this is going to be super short. sorry there really is no time to do everything.
So i just want to explain whats going on in general really fast. So me and my companion have been picking up a little more the pace in our work in the last two weeks and we have really seen a lot of blessings. The zone is doing well, we have a few struggles with missionaries who are getting sick and cant work much, Im not sure what to do quite yet, but we will see.
But apart from the zone struggles we have been doing really good as a companionship. Our ward is awesome!!! the references just apear out of no where and the members are super willing and excited to help us. The struggle is trying to balance our zone activities with our own proselyting... We love proyselyting but there is a lot of things to do in the zone as well....
Right now we are teaching the perez family. i have to explain a little bit more about them. Victor Perez is the grandpa of the family and he and his daughter and his two granddaughters are the only members right now.... Victor has an amazing conversion story. He and his whole family have been adventists for about 15 years now and several years ago his daughter got baptized. He was super against and he became a large roadblock between her and the church and eventually caused her to go inactive.
Years later he goes to a book store (he loves reading books) and finds a few institute manuals and starts reading and he really felt the spirit as he read and he recognized everything he read as true. so he wanted to know what church was publishing the books and he found out it was the mormon church that he had been opposed to for so many years. He felt bad and he told his daughter to go back to church, secretly looking for a way to join himself because he knew it was true. Long story short the misionaries got their house and gave him a book of mormon which he read in less than a month and was baptized.
Tonight we have a Family home evening with the majority of his 8 kids and 26 grandkids. Im super nervous. the missionaries have been able to talk to each of the families but this will be the first time we do something with the whole family. I feel like they are super prepared. Many of them have had kids pass away and are very afficted by the tragic events of the last few years. I really feel like they need to know about temples (mom i shared your thoughts about greif, it really helped and it was exactly what this sister needed thanks) I almost feel like im teaching abraham and his family because there are so many and if we can help them I feel like we are really converting hundreds of people. I feel such a desire to help this family. Please pray for us!
I know this church is true, and i know its true in part because we have the full gospel which includes the sealing ordinances for families.
sorry so short.
Love you all,
Always turn outward and keep smiling!
