This week has been super good! We're finding a TON of people that have been
super prepared by the Lord.
Monday we had 2 crazy lessons.
The first was with Li the girl from Cali .
Well she's not doing so good. It
was the first time we talked after the week at MLC. She started telling us about her
"visions" she's been having and how she thinks she's a prophet. She kept telling us that we need to forget
about Joseph Smith and only talk about Jesus.
But we almost never talk about Joseph but we ALWAYS talk about
Jesus. Kind of frustrating and weird...
The other lesson was with a new family from Bogotá. WOW.
We taught them and they were all SO attentive. At the end, we threw out the baptismal
invitation and they all accepted full heartedly.
Tuesday we were supposed to go to Pasto for out interviews with President, but
all those truckers that are protesting the new toll booths on the Panamericana Highway
set up a HUGE and dangerous blockade. So
we couldn't leave the city. A member
who's a trucker was stuck in it so we called to see how the situation was going
and we could hear a ton of yelling. He
said they're all fighting there and someone even died. WOAH. So no interviews haha. But we had a really,
really good lesson Tuesday with a reference of our pensionista. Our pensionista said she was at the store in
front when her neighbor came and she felt impressed to talk to her. She shared the gospel and BAM a super solid
reference. It's another family, so we
talked about temples and eternal families.
They're SUPER excited to listen to us.
Wednesday we had a solid lesson with our investigator San. He's the nonmember son of one of our recent
convert families. We're trying REALLY
hard to get him to baptism because he's more interested lately than he's ever
been and is beginning to progress.
Hopefully he'll get there soon.
He says he's not feeling worthy yet for baptism.
Thursday we had divisions with the Elders in Galan 1 (the
area where i started the mission). It was a pretty alright day. In the morning Elder Herrera and I had to go
with a member from Cali
to all the houses in the zone to fumigate.
But it was actually kind of intense because we couldn't get to 2 houses,
because the trucker riot decided to walk through Ipiales to block the border
with Ecuador . There were HUNDREDS all walking on the main
road. The farmers are fighting them
because the blockade doesn't allow them to sell their produce, so we saw a
couple of pretty badly beaten farmers. All day in divisions nothing really
crazy happened. it was cold and that
night we did a baptismal interview for the other area in my branch.
Friday was good and bad.
We had to drop Li. She's just too
crazy and won't listen. She decided that
God sent us to her so SHE could change US.
Nope. But that night we visited
Cris, the reference of our pensionista, and we got to teach their family. We're really excited about them!
Saturday we had a lot of spiritual lessons. The best one was probably with Cris and her
mom. We taught the Restoration and they
understood it REALLY well, and committed to read and pray.
Sunday was great because we had 8 people come to
church! Including Cris and her sister,
the Muñoz family that we taught Monday and E. It was just a really solid day and everyone
was so happy!! I know that here soon
we're gonna have a LOT of baptisms, and I just
feel so happy that everyone is progressing so much! But dang it sure is making the time fly. I can't believe i only have 8 weeks left. But trust me.
I'm gonna make it count.
Love you all, have a SUPER week!
