How is it going?? I hope everyone had
a great week, things are going well here and it was a super crazy week. I
always feel like I am running from place to place and never get to do the
things I want!! But here’s what happened this week.
Tuesday me and Elder Lambson worked
together, we had a pretty successful day and 3 of the people we found went to
church which was awesome. We just kind of dedicated it to contacting and
finding new people. We found an antigua investigator that we are going to be
working with. She knows everything just needs a little more testimony so
she can get baptized.
Wednesday I did divisions with Elder
Fonseca. It was a day of divisions that was supposed to be in my area,
but I felt really bad because it turned into a day of running around in his
area and all over the zone. He had a possibility that needed to be
intervewed. It was a super crazy interview, we showed up and the neighbor told
us she had 3 parejas (which is surprising, but a lot of times normal
here). We verified the law of chastity and she was all good. She
was a little shaky but we helped her to realize the blessings she had received
from going to church and the ones she would receive from baptism and she
committed to do it. We then had to go and find some elders that didn’t
answer their phone (for 6 hours) it was super ridiculous and we ended up
working in my area for like 2 hours. Whoops!
Thursday was a super awesome day
because I got to work with Elder Nave in my area. We had always wanted to
be companions since day one in the MTC so it was a blast working with him, we
had an alright day, got someone else interviewed in my area who is going to get
baptized this week and found some people. It was nice being able to work with
someone who has the same time, a lot easier!
Friday was good, went to district
meeting in Elder Nave´s district. That went well. Saturday we ran around
committing everyone. That actually went well too and we got a lot of
people committed and ready to go to church.
Sunday morning the Lord blessed us
and we were able to bring 7! I was stoked. The rest of Sunday was also
super crazy and I had an awesome baptismal interview. Long story short,
the lady was preparing to be a nun and hadn’t said anything to the missionaries
at all until I got into the interview. So the head nun lady in Nicaragua
had called her, asking if she was going to do it and she told the lady she was
going to get baptized in our church. The catholic lady then told her to
remember how she was already baptized, to do what she wanted but that she
should be loyal. So she was kind of scared to tell her no, had doubts
about being baptized again, TONs of things. At the end of the interview I
helped her to understand with the scriptures how she could be baptized again
and pulled out a scripture in Alma, the usual 32:21 about how faith isn’t a
perfect knowledge, and how she didn’t need a perfect knowledge to be
baptized. She looked at me and said, "I just felt something inside
me that I have never felt before, like a happiness, harmony, peace" I
helped her to understand it was the Holy Ghost and she committed to be
baptized. One of the coolest interviews ever, and a testimony builder to
how the Spirit really does work. It was awesome.
This week elder Ochoa is coming so we
are getting ready for him! I hope you all have a great week!
