So this week we tried REALLY hard to find new
investigators. It's been a struggle but
we're figuring it out.
Monday the husband of our pensionista, Luis, introduced us
to a family of 6. They've already met
the missionaries and almost baptized a way back. For certain problems they didnt but Luis
feels like the time for them to receive the Gospel again has come. The only problem with the family is they are
VERY unorganized. always getting
distracted and half leave the room in the middle of the discussion so no one
gets very much out of what we say. but
we're gonna try hard to get them to listen!
Tuesday was pretty slow,
same with Wednesday.
Thursday we decided to dedicate some time to contacting,
whether it be knocking doors or stopping people in the street. But seriously, EVERY person we talked to gave
us dirty faces or came up with a ton of excuses of how we couldnt visit with
them. I think here in Palmira other churches have spread lots of
anti Mormon material because seriously, no one wants to talk to us and some
people we've talked to have brought up how we believe in baptizing for the dead
and eternal marriage.
So yeah, finding through our own efforts will not be the
most effective way to find in this area.
So we've decided to work almost 100 % with the members. We've been to EVERY house in our area from
the members list, (171 houses) have made a list of who actually lives there (only
like 30) and are planning FHE's, service, etc. etc.
Friday was crazy awesome.
we left all day with a member named Andres Cruz and he presented us some
people. Theyre all really good and we
had 5 lessons that day! it was nice to
be busy for once. We also had a lesson
with Jul and she said she prayed about the Book of Mormon and wants to be
baptized! Wooo!
Saturday we spent most the day confirming attendance, but
around 6 or 7, my hip starting making a popping sound. Then it hurt REALLY BAD. So we rested a bit and I decided to sleep on
it to see if it would be better Sunday.
Sunday was great, Jul came to church and so did F our less
active. They both had a really nice
experience and all the classes and talks were really good and edifying. After church my hip was still bothering me so
i called Sis. Pricoli and she told me to rest and take some ibuprofen to see if
by Monday it would change.
Today my hip feels better, and we slept and bummed around
all day. So nice to relax a bit!
So this week all our plans are to work with members. Let's see how it helps us!
Love you all! have a
Great week!
