I hope you are all
doing wonderful. I am doing great over here on this side of the rock. It
has been a wonderful week. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I got to spend
skyping the family. It was wonderful.
The last two weeks have been really good. We had a
kid of 8 year old get baptized. Technically it doesn't count as a mission
baptism because he was 8 years old. But we taught him everything. And
reactivated his family as well. So we where very very happy to see him
get baptized. We got to stand in the circle as he received the Holy
Ghost. It was really amazing.
This week we have three people who will be
interviewed to be baptized on the 11th. The first two are a family that
got married to be baptized, and the other one is a big friend of the
family. They are so awesome. The family is amazing. The parents got
baptized in august, and the rest of the family is on the way to be
baptized. We have been working with hem a lot, but it is looking really
good. They are always asking us to come over. We ended up celebrating
Christmas eve with them. They really are so loving.
One of the highlights of this week is definitely the
lesson we had with the R's, the R's are a family that we have
had as investigators for a long time. They are really loving, and really
open to listen, and hear us. But they are what we call. Eternals, or
amigos. They are people that are willing to accept and listen to you.
But they don't really progress. So we have been stumped on what to do. We didn't want to drop them because they had been dropped before, and it wasn't the right thing to do to help them. So we looked around the ward
for a little while to find some members that could accompany us. We
found them in the S family, yes the same family that I mentioned earlier.
The parents. They had similar situations, similar problems. So we
brought them with us. At the beginning it was a little awkward, but we
began the lesson, started to talk, and kinda let the members bear their testimonies, and share their stories, well I will tell you what. It was
SO powerful. I loved it. You could feel the spirit, and the family
opened up like never before, We then where able to share doctrine, and
teach them, using the members. It was really really amazing. And just
another testament to how powerful members, you guys reading this blog
are. Your testimonies, and experiences can help out the missionaries so
much.
So our companionship has a lot to look forward that
is coming up. I am so happy to be here, and to be serving in this
mission. You guys are amazing. I hope everything is going wonderful. I
love you!!
