So im going to try to write the most i possibly can. I cant beleive time is flying by so fast. (this week has been unusually long though haha).
So this week I honestly dont know what happened. We suddenly hit a wall in the work. It seemed like the majority of our visits started falling through and we found ourselves walking aimlessly through our area contacting people... its been a while since thats happpened to me and I was even more suprised because its the first time thats happened here in Imperio. I think this week we have lacked a little bit of effective planning. Our nightly planing sessions have been kinda half hazard this week I think, due, in part, to all the planning we have been doing in the zone this last month.
In the month of May we are going to have the first stake missionay focused activity that this stake has seen a few years. i hope that everything works out... its been taking up a little bit more of our time these las few weeks, and we are also focusing a bit more on the ward conferences too. we are doing everything we can to help prepare for the ward conferences. (yesterday we went as a zone to another ward to help look for less actives to invite to their ward conference next week. we found a few potencial investigators while we were at it, we will see what happens in that ward.)
Anyway.... so the zone is crazy. Its been fun though.
So I have to tell you about the new FAMILY we are teaching!!!! haha. Its the garcia-sosa family, and they were actually a reference from a few sister missionaries that are serving in my first area!! We got a call the night after the preisthood session of general conference from the zone leaders in that zone saying they had a referencia de ORO (golden reference) and we called the number they gave us as soon as we could. It seemed like on the phone the Young man that answered wasnt tooo thrilled, but accepted the visit. It took us a little while to find the house, but half-an-hour late to our appointement we finally found them.
there is cristian, jimmy, and jenny (we havent taught jenny yet, she is a little shy it seems) that all live there with their parents graciela and cesar (cesar looks nice but we havent taught him yet either). they are sooo cool!!! we invited them to baptism this sunday and graciela practially jumped out of her seat saying yes haha. We left a few verses in the book of mormon to read and we have our next appointment this wednesday!!! I hoping we get the whole family there. We played soccer with cristian today in the morning and he told me that he made the decision 3 months ago that he wanted to be baptized and he is just waiting for us to say when!! WHAT!! haha when does that happen??? He told me today that he wants to get baptized before i head home, haha i told him i would be ok with that.
Im super excited to work with them. Cristian and Jimmy i have only known for a week but they have already become good friends, and graciela their mom is already treating us like her own sons. They are a very loving/friendly family and are very genuine. We are praying that we can teach their dad soon and place a baptismal goal for the family!! I cant beleive whats happening.
So even though the week was really slow its been super good. I love teaching the people here. its going to be hard to leave. I hope in 4 weeks we can see a few more miracles.
I love the Lord´s work, and i love the Lord
Happy easter everyone!
Always turn outward and keep smiling!
Love
