Hey fam...wow another week has come and gone and another week of
ups and downs
Really i feel like I dont have much to say this week. We are really still
just trying to find new people to teach. Knocking door, contacting in the
streets, working with the members, just trying to find people. But we have
found some new people this week who have a lot of potencial i think. There is
one lady who received the missionaries years and years ago and she asisted
church for one whole year but never was baptized....we are going to see what
happens with her...but i feel serious deja vu in her house. Seriously like i
feel like ive already been in her house teaching her but she doesnt remember me
and i dont think i went there with my other companions...but who knows. Also we
found another women who was really interested to hear that we have prophets and
apostles and she really wants to go to conference. Super interesting when we
were teaching her though because the lesson was really great and we could really
feel the spirit...and then all of a sudden her husband came home and interupted
everything and turned on the soccer game and was yelling GOAL and all of this
stuff trying to distract the lesson but the woman didnt pay attention to him at
all and just kept focused on us and the lesson haha. We´ll see what happens
with them.
I dont know im really enjoying the work right now just with my companion
and everything. During the day i feel good doing what im doing...but the thing
is is the people just arent progressing or arent interested. We had a multizona
this week and i learned a lot and there is a lot for me to improve. But we also
talked about baptisms and such. I havent had a baptism in like 3 or 4
months....and i dont know i was pretty down on that. But i dont know. Its so
frustrating because i want to help people change and i feel like im working but
i dont know why we arent having success. And the truth is i feel like we are
working harder and teaching better now then when we were back in october and
november and december when we had baptisms..
But im not gonna focus on that part..being down and such. because we are
having changes here in this area. The members are starting to work more. The
familia misionera is we call them in church on sunday during sacrament meeting
and then we visit them during the day on sunday and plan with them how we are
going to work during the week. They have to give us references and one person
in their family has to leave with us every day during the week. Really it is a
big sacrifice for the family but i really feel like they are blessed and its
helping the ward to get more excited. The bishop and his wife hardly didnt have
any time to leave this week but they made sacrifices and it was really hard for
the bishops wife but she is a returned missionary and it really strengthened her
testimony. We had some really good experiences with them. Then in sunday
during sacrament meeting they have to give their numbers or how many lessons and
references and new investigators they found and share a little experience. It
is really a great program and i feel like it is going to change the ward. Also
we didnt have investigators that we were teaching in sacrament meeting this week
so that was really disappointing...but we had some less actives. there were a
few people that i have visited every single week that i have been here and they
have never gone to church, but this week they went so it was some real
miracles.
Anyways i dont have much more to say. Things are good, we are just working
slowly but surely. Just working the heat every day. Im super super excited for
conference this weekend. I cant believe it is already conference again. Last
general conference was my first week here in El Sal. Super crazy. But invite
all of your friends to conference. (MOM INVITE THEY NEIGHBORS OR WHOEVER DONT
BE SHY) haha keep working with the missionaries.
I love you all and mom i love you more than the universe!!!
Good luck moving to georgia this week Colby and Janelle!
Thanks for all of your prayers!
