A great week!

This week has been an amazing one for sure. a lot of great stuff is happening down here. To start off missionary work is growing with the members in such great ways. We had a mini CCM for our ward this week and it was fantastic. We organized into groups me and my comp taught a bit about how to do door contacts and then sent them all out with names of less actives in the ward to go visit. I got to go with Samuel (one of the youth) and the first few stops where not so successful. but then we had one who the person on the list had moved away but her mother (who is not a member) was there so we talked with her and she was so nice so nice. She invited us back to talk with her. 

Also we went and visited a less active member that I was honestly afraid to cause the last time we talked with him it really didn’t go well but this time he opened up and invited us in and we talked about the church and the savior. he was not very receptive but he let us in so its progress. Also Samuel the youth who was with me was so awesome he would jump in and testify and teach- he is a lot braver then I was at that age for sure. Also, this was the first time going out without a experienced missionary by my side and it’s so true that necessity is the mother of invention. Cause this time, I had no one to catch my fall if I didn’t understand. The greatest thing is in that moment, I didn’t fall. The lord blessed me and I understood and responded to any doubt or problem that the people bought up. I know for sure the lord is in this work and truly blesses us in the very moment with what we need to say. 

Our investigators are doing great too. One in particular is Jacob. He is our investigator from Haiti who speaks French and he is just the nicest humblest and kindest guy ever. He is so willing to learn and want this gospel in his life I know it. he is so knowledgeable about the bible to for example we were talking about the 3 degrees of glory with him and ask us about a scripture in revelations that talks about the eternal fire and asked about that it’s so great.  He is so good. After our last lesson on Saturday in which he accepted a baptismal date :) (28 of December) he feels the need to be baptized but just wants to learn more first. Also he struggles a lot with Spanish so we promised him that he by the 28th of December he would know not just the gospel but Spanish too.  Me and my comp where talking and we both saw him as being a bishop or young men’s president some day he just has such a great attitude. I’m am very much looking forward to seeing him progress and keep learning.

We have had a struggle meeting with Carlos for the last week and a half or so and probably will have to change his baptismal date but still we are holding out for him knowing he can do it

Sunday in church Hermana Adda came which was awesome cause she has promised to come for 3 or 4 weeks and this week she did and she loved it. Also, we had Magerita (a investigator) come for the first time and it just happened to be the primary program that day and that touch her heart I could tell. Then after the ward was so helpful friendly, and acceptive of her it was fantastic. I know for sure that it was no accident the primary had their thing that day. That was planning in the heavens. I love this work all of it the ups and the downs it’s amazing.

Keep the savior close in your lives I know he is there
