So
here we are working, just working in the work of the Lord, but we`re still
waiting for a few baptisms to click into place. We have some good people, just
need to complete some more commitments.
This week we`ve been
able to do some exchanges which has been really fun. I got to work with Elder
Palmer here in my area (our district leader and the executive secretary). We
had some great success. Yesterday I got to go to a zone called Hipordromo which
is just south of Barranquilla... It`s pretty sandy haha. I worked with Elder
Chavez from Perù. He`s a great missionary, but I feel bad because he`s pretty
sick.
As far as
investigators go... We have this one family (Lopez) that are progressing well.
They went to church on Sunday, and they liked it, but they still don`t read in
the book of mormon.
We also have Rafael
who`s doing great because he`s reading and praying and he says that he`s felt
his faith grow which is super awesome. He`s told us that he feels bad in his
house because his family (aunts uncles cousins) all are like atheists or
evagelical christians (CRAZIES) So being able to meet the nice, peaceful
restored gospel has really helped him out.
We also are teaching a
lady named Brisley that`s the nanny for a less active family and she recently
returned from a long trip, but it`s sad becasue her mom on the trip said that
she shouldn`t get baptized in the church because she`s really worldly and not
ready to make a commitment like baptism, but we`re helping her out.
The whole mission is
really excited after the Elder Waddell tour, but some missionaries didn`t
interpret his little talk right. We`ve been hearing a lot of missionaries say
that there`s no need to knock on doors or to talk to people in the street
because those would just be "numbers" (I hate when missionaries use
that word haha.) So we`re making a training for the upcoming leadership counsel
to help them focus on the people, and getting references.
Whilst meditating in
the street about whether knocking on doors was really useful or not we knocked
on a door. And for a 19 year-old kid who said he`s been looking for the truth
and says that he doesn`t feel "full" in his church.... THAT folks is
why we knock on doors haha.
Love you all bye!
