This was a pretty good week, and was very necessary to get
back our spirits!
Tuesday was pretty normal.
A recent convert asked a weird question based off
1 Corinthians 11 on
whether or not woman need to cover their heads when they pray. I thought it was a bunch of garbage but we
gotta answer peoples questions, ya know?
Wednesday was pretty rad.
The Pensionista of the other Elders presented us 2 new families which was
super cool!
Thursday we had to travel to Cali for Leadership Council. It was a long day but there's some cool new
things! January 20th, there's a
worldwide missionary training from Salt
Lake
Friday we got excited and worked HARD. We've dropped almost all our investigators
that arent progressing and have started contacting EVERY family we see in the
street. It's been exciting! I also made the realization that i need to
confide more in the spirit and less in myself.
We're starting to get powerful!
Saturday we had the baptism of Nabor and Mery! Wow!
It was the most spiritual baptism i've ever been to. It wasnt even the service that was super
impacting. It was their testimonies
after. Both stood up and shared with
everyone their testimonies, and i've never seen a more powerful and sincere
conversion. Both expressed great desire
to go to the temple, and great gratitude for missionary work for finding
them! They both testified that they know
the prophet is a word of God, that the Book of Mormon is true. The spirit was SO strong. There really are people out there 100%
prepared by the Lord! We just need to find
them!
Sunday was a pretty good Sabbath. When we got to church, we were surprised to
see that President and Sister Pricoli came so we missionaries all stood up
straight and prayed that our investigators would come to church haha. But God couldnt have been more merciful! We had a TON of people in the chapel, we had
a family come to church, Nabor and Mery got confirmed, the gospel principles
class we teach was solid, and the sacrament talks were really good. We better be careful, we may become the
"branch of Enoch" haha. After
church, we worked super hard, and contacted everyone! I jokingly said "im gonna contact a
motorcycle driving by!" and when i didnt do it, E'Gomez was like "why
didnt you do it?!" so i said "would you be crazy enough to do
it?" in that moment a motorcycle came and Elder Gomez waved it down hahaha
i couldnt stop smiling while we talked to him.
IT was a good time.
Last night transfers came, and Elder Gomez and I are staying
together! Elder Palma went to the offices and the new elder
is Elder Tumbaco. Sister Panduro left
and some new sister from Peru
came. but luckily our zone didnt change
too much! So we're SUPER excited to kill
it this transfer! We're gonna baptize a
ton of families! That's the goal! Love you all!
