Hey everyone! This was a very good week. First, we came by a girl named
Carman, and she is amazing. We are praying hard for her to be baptized
this transfer. In November. She has been reading and is willing to find
if this is true and act on the promptings she receives. We have found
mostly non-spanish speakers this week, but really cool people. For
example, we found one person whose mother had passed away recently and
we taught that she could see her family again. Another man, who
understood German! had a 12 year old son who committed suicide just
recently, and we did the same. It was very, very sad, but very cool.
There was a less active 13 year old who had a child, and they had their
baby shower yesterday. We taught about Jesus and the Miracle of
Forgiveness. Also this week, on Saturday, when I woke up, someone
started calling us, so we answered it and it was Elder Keeney, and he
asked if I wanted to go to the temple with one of my recent converts,
Esther Cardenas. I of course said yes, called President for permission,
and he said,"Have fun". So thus we went forth and had a great time. I
confirmed her dad through proxy by someone else! It was the most
wonderful experience. I came back ready to work. Also this week we had
zone conference.
Here are some things I learned.
"Is there anything more dear than life?"
"Even the people who reject us will receive a portion of light"
"You live worthy of YOUR covenants, and the Lord will bless you beyond your wildest imaginations."
"You're not sealed to a person; you're sealed to a family".
And from Stake conference on Sunday
"We are baptized unto a life of repentance....at the sacrament table".
"He didn't know about us. He knows us."
