This
week we recieved a referal from a member, Leandro, that lives close by
us. He wanted us to visit his mom and step-dad, and so we marked a time
to go there. So the time came, and Leandro, Élder Calisaya and I taught a
marvelous first lesson with this family! Graça and Marcos came to
church this week, and we will now be preparing them for marraige and
baptism! I am very excited to be able to teach this family!
However,
despite this great news, it´s still being super hard to get people to
church! I feel like God has a lesson for me to learn, and I must not
have learned it yet, because in all three areas, ever since I became a
leader on the mission, it has been SO difficult to get people to church!
However this is the key to helping people along the path of salvation. I
have seen here on the mission that everyone that makes it to church is
able to feel the sweet spirit of the Holy Ghost testifying of the
truthfulness of the Restored Gospel. Now, whether or not they choose to
act on this feeling is up to them, but this is such a crucial step to
one´s conversion to Christ. For some reason though, the past six months
or so have been almost all big fat zeroes in people that attended
church, despite all my efforts to teach and preach the gospel. However,
as I mentioned above, I know that God´s ways are greater than my own. I
have seen many times here on the mission that the people I have taught
have been able to progress after I leave the area. It´s really awesome
to see that.
Pray for the families that we are
teaching so they can experience the great blessings of the Restored
Gospel! The ward deserves the blessings of more righteous families!
