CONTACTS AND FRUITS

¡Hola! Well, this week has been a good week.

Amigo has made it the whole week without drinking and seems like he has got the desire to leave it forever this time.

Octavio came to a ward activity this Saturday, but sadly due to stomach sickness he was not able to come to church on Sunday even though he wanted to. Also, so he use to work in tattoos and that was one of the big reasons that he didn`t feel comfortable being part of the gospel. But this week some guy (that actually has a design business in the same building that Octavio lives in) saw some of Octavos’ work and offered him a job. Truly the lord is preparing the way so that Octavio can come back to church.

Ariel Gallardo. (Pretty sure I talked about him last week) sadly this week we could not visit with him again cause he fell sick with pancrites (probably spelt that wrong) problems and is in the hospital. ummmm Guillermo Reyes is doing well, it’s a bit hard to teach sometimes cause of his hyper grandkids- but he is progressing.

This week we started going by for the second time knocking all of the doors. (Having already knocked them once) and doing park and street contacts and truly the lord is blessing us. It’s not that we contact and find 50 people for 50 doors, but more like for 50 doors knocked 15 tell us to come back, 5 answer o receive us a second time and 1 actually lets us in the door and becomes an investigator but for that one I am happy. Every person who receives the gospel is a blessing. Sometimes we are in the park contacting and find people who are amazing and really seem like they want to learn more about the gospel and when we ask where they live they live in another sector. I don’t feel mad nor cheated I feel equally as happy and send the reference off as soon as possible knowing that that means one more person is going to make it back to their heavenly home. 

The mission is amazing the good days and the bad days. With Elder Whitmore by my side we are ready for whatever the lord sends our way- be it teaching or be it contacting, we are ready. Knowing that we are here to do the work he needs done. Someone has got to plant the seeds. I find it an honor that the lord has chosen me to do it and I do it with joy.

I hope you all have a great week and can do the work that the lord has given you with joy in your heart.
