Week 73 Buena Vista

This week was pretty good. On Monday I skyped my mother and father and much more of the family. It was a very powerful experience. This week we invited EVERYONE we talked to to church, and saw some blessings from that. It was a long week and required a lot of walking. We went biking and someone slashed our tires, so we got the tires fixed, and someone slashed our tires, stole our air pump and all of our lights and tried to take the bikes out of the locks. Luckily they were not successful. I finished the Book of Mormon again, and I have learned a lot about how the Spirit works. We are figuring out how to use our lessons to bring true conversion. We as missionaries invite others to come unto Christ. How do they do that? By having faith unto repentance, which causes a change in their lives. How do they gain that faith? By learning the restored Gospel and by accepting and acting on invitations and commitments we give them. And this prepares them for the Covenant of Baptism, which is a physical cleansing that prepares us for the spiritual purification of the Holy Ghost. And the Holy Ghost will guide us and allow us to become more like our Savior. And by continually following this path we become ready for judgement.

   We went by one of our investigators, Brandon and we see that his less-active family can be holding him back from becoming a member. We will do all we can to still get him there though. 

   I love you all, and thanks for everything!
