This
week has been really great! It's been filled with a lot of spiritual
experiences and some good times on the mission. Right now we have one
investigator with a set date for baptism, Elizabeth Salazar, for the 25
of this month, but we are going to try and move it down for the 18th
depending on if she continues to progress. Shes 33 years old but has
never married and doesn't have any kids. She was a reference from her
sister Vanessa that was baptized about 3 years ago but became inactive
really soon after her baptism. We've been teaching her a lot and she's
made a lot of progress. She even watched both conferences on Saturday!
It was great.
Also
these past few weeks we've been focusing on this great family, la
familia Jordan. They understand the gospel how it is and accept it so
well. They haven't been able to come to church yet but have been reading
the Book of Mormon and have been praying everyday. The mom, Suli, told
us that she has always been in search for the right church and that when
we visit her and her family she feels peace and comfort in what we
share. We then explained to her that it's the Holy Ghost that is telling
her that this is right, that the real happiness comes through this
message. It's a miracle when investigators begin to recognize the Holy
Ghost in their lives because if they can recognize it before baptism,
they will do all they can to have him as their constant companion. We
finally got to teach her husband, Jorge, this week too. He works a lot
but about 18 years ago for 3 years attended our church but then left it
never being baptized. But he's very interested now and it is a great
opportunity. Their 3 teenage kids are also progressing and recognizing
the Spirit and the light of Christ in their lives. Fernando,17,
Fierela,15, and Fabiola,13, are all progressing too. The only problem
though is that Suli and Jorge arent married, but well fix that. I' m
really excited for the progress they're making!
Were
also still working on getting los partids, basically birth
certificates, for Idaura and Maximo so they can get married and
baptized. They were also able to watch a little bit of conference!
Bueno, esta semana ha sido lo máximo y estoy muy animado por las cosas que van a pasar aquí en La Habana, en la viña del Señor.
Que tenga un excelente día!
