Familia y amigos,
What is going on? I hope
everyone had a super good week there at home, and everyone is enjoying the hot
weather. Just imagine that with humidity, and then go for a walk at like
2 o’clock and you will know how I feel! Haha, but I hope everyone is doing
well. Things this week in Bluefields were pretty good! We are still
trying to find some people to teach, but the week wasn’t too bad.
I first want to start out and say
Happy Father's Day to my dad and all the other dads out there. Thanks for
being so awesome and I love you lots dad!
Tuesday was probably the worst day of
the week. We had a bunch of people planned which was good, it meant we
wouldn’t be contacting as much. But what ended up happening as we went
to each of the houses, they all ended up not being very promising. They
were all investigators that we had been teaching for a little while, but who
weren’t progressing very well. Unfortunately, we ended up dropping 5
people that day because it didn’t seem to us like they were going to progress.
Wednesday we kept working with the
other people we had. We have a couple cool people that we are trying to
work with to get them baptized in July, but Satan always likes to get in the
way. We are working hard with them. One of our converts cooked us
lunch and it was super delicious. They cooked something called “sopa
marisco”, it is just a seafood soup. It was really good, had crab,
shrimp, and some other things. It is kind of a traditional dish here and
by far my favorite. It’s really good if it has lobster too, but the lobster
season here opens up the 1st of July. We actually showed the Restoration with a
family on Wednesday night and the dad of the family started crying. It
was a nice spiritual experience, but he works on Sundays so he probably won’t
be able to attend church and progress towards baptism. They aren’t
married, but his wife is cool and has been coming to church with us.
Thursday the zone did an activity,
where the whole day you were just supposed to contact. We decided on an
area to contact, and went to work. But lucky us, the area we decided to
contact was just straight testigos (Jehovah Witnesses). That made it a
pretty interesting day. The testigos have pretty closed minds. We
had a cool lesson with some testigos, and they agreed and understood everything
we taught up until Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. They are too hard
hearted to ask for themselves. I think that we can apply this into our
lives, by asking ourselves daily, "Am I open to the will of my Heavenly
Father?" , or are we closing our hearts to the daily revelation He can
give us? I know that if we open
our hearts, and humble ourselves, He will guide us in what we need to do.
This week there are cambios
(transfers), and my time here in Bluefields (almost 6 months) could be coming
to an end. If you see the charge at McDonalds, you know I had changes.
I love you all lots!
