Buen Dia Todos! (Good Day All)
This
week was a great week and we had a lot of success! We've been working a
lot with the ward and we've been getting a lot of references from many of
the members which is good and bad. They usually give us people to teach
that have studied a religion and know a lot about the bible. It's good
sometimes because they have a religious background and want to learn
more or they just have concrete beliefs and only want to fight with you,
which is awful! That was the case last night, this older lady in the
ward, Hermana P__, gave this reference for this lady, L___, so we went
to teach her but her brother who had studied a lot of the bible was also
there and only wanted to fight. It reminded me of when Alma and Amulek
contended with Zeezrom, who wanted a sign that God exists. It was a
really similar situation. Despite all he said to us, I found that the
only thing you can say to them is a strong, pure, and simple testimony
of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how you came to
know of its truthfulness.
Anyways,
that was really the only lesson like that this week which I'm happy
about. We are going to visit Hermana L___ on Wednesday. I think that she
wants to hear the gospel but the first visit wasn't to good of a setting
for that. I'm excited to go back and teach her. But yeah, we had a lot
of success this week. This last 3 weeks or so we've been helping a less
active lady, S____, with her mom that has Parkinson's disease in a
really advanced state and is close to dying, she is also very old. The
reason S____ doesn't come to church is because she doesn't want to stop
caring for her mother. So, Elder G. and I have been stopping by
several days a week to help care for her mother and to visit and share
gospel messages with S____. And this past week, S____ came to
church! It's definitely helped me develop a testimony that service and
charity are central parts to the gospel and helping others want to come
back on the strait and narrow path.
Well, that's about all I got time for today! Wish you all the best for this week!
Love
