Well I ' even know where to start this week!
It was a GREAT WEEK! With lots of freezing wind
and lots of work. This week we have been working a lot with Bishop because there
are only 35 members in the ward right now... but there are 553 in the registry
or what ever that thing is called! So we have started on the list to bring all
these lost sheep back to the fold! It is so sad to get to know some of these
people and learn why they fell away from the church... for being offended, not reading their scriptures and praying or laziness, not understanding anything, or being baptized for missionaries and not
with a testimony... this is mas o menos what has gone down with these people! We have found a couple that want to come back but they are afraid so we are
working a lot with the ward right now to help them come and visit the menos
acitvos with us. Honestly being on a mission makes me so excited to go home and
have a calling and do work with my calling. Something really interesting that
was said by Elder Oaks in the big missionary broadcast we had like a month ago
was that he told us to work more with less actives! Because these less actives
usually have family members that are not members or friends neighbors and
all... so we can find a lot of people through them!
But honestly we have miracles this
week...MIRACLES! first of all about a week ago for our fast we fasted to find
two families... and we found TWO! And we are teaching them... one was the
family that came to church once and we found them again!! and then the temple
reference we got at Christmas when we couldn't find the house ... we found them
again....and both familias... as in the parents are REALLY INTERESTED! So #holla
WE have also been working with Carlos and
he is doing good and ready for his baptism for the 3rd! And Orfelina is doing
good and loving church so yay!!!!!!!
Hna Mortenson is awesome... her trainer was cv sister
so hna mortenson has a killer Columbiana accent and I am learning from her
because I still sound like a gringa o guera whatever you would like to call
it! She is from Lehi and loves musicals and has a beautiful voice so we enjoy
talking about musicals and she is the 1st comp I have been able to harmonize
with since hna back in the CCM so that is fun!!!
Another mircale we saw this week was that
Alejandro one of our little friends in the street went to church AGAIN! We are
gonna start focusing on him a little more he is a funny old man that tells us
the joven rico (rich young ruler or whatever in English) he tells us that
story from the bible all the time but always says and when Christ asked him to
leave everything he had... he left it all to follow Christ and we are always
like close but not quit right on that story! haha
But yes lots of good things coming out of here in Carrera...
its fun because we have been involving the ward a lot more and they are getting
more excited about the work! OH also today we went to the basilica and I took a
bunch of cool pics...... but haha my card reader got stolen soo I will get you
those pics next week when I buy a new card reader! But todo bien here.... I love the mish so so so much and I have just learned so much from forgetting
myself and loving and serving others! I love the people here and I can't wait
for you all to meet them... even though you won't be able to communicate that
much ... it doesn't matter you will love them too! But EVERYONE reading this
just know that I know this church is true with all my heart and that it is the
only way to really find true happiness and will last for all eternity! I know
this church is guided by revelation and that Christ really is the head of his
church and that we need to help everyone we can to come unto him so they can
receive the same blessings we have!!! Love you all so so so
much! have a FAB WEEK!!!
