Greetings from Jobo! I tiny city on top of a mountain where
you walk down the street and there is literally no one around haha. Its pretty
sweet here though.
General Conference was amazing huh?! Ohhh myyyy. I'm so glad
that you made questions and received answers! The coolest no?!
First off...we don't have many investigators and we're trying
to find more. This week we've reeeally felt that there is something missing
in the ward. We sat down as a companionship and thought about it. We received
some awesome revelation and set up activities the way we felt we could help our
ward. Those activities will be happening this week! Super excited. I think in
this ward I might not be getting a lot of baptisms. I think Ill be strengthening
the members more than anything.
No obstante! (but) we contacted two little girls in the
street about 2 weeks ago...15 and 12 years old. They are sisters. We have met
with them 3 times. (they have dates for the 15th of Nov to be baptized) Yesterday
was the 4th, we went to their house to teach them a lesson and their Dad walked in when we sat down and he started talking to
us. We had talked to him the last time too. Not lesson wise, just
talking. Anyways, we got to talking again and then a little time passed and
he told the wife to come and sit down. So, there was a little family of 4
and we started our lesson. It was so awesome because first it was just the 2,
then it was the Dad and then the Mom and we had the whole family. Our goal is
to find families. Anyways, after we sang a song the Grandpa came in and
started listening. Then a cousin came in and started listening! So now we were
talking to a family of 6! And it turns out that the cousin's wife, we had
contacted her in the street and set up an appointment with her! Woooow...it was
super cool. But sooo nerve wracking. Just having 6 people stare at you when you are teaching them
haha. Wow! so scary. I was praying my GUTS out....
That was the most incredible lesson I've had on my mission.
They stared at us as each one of us took turns speaking. They stared as if we
touched to the center of their hearts and were just soaking up every little word we
had to say. It was the coolest experience. We had no idea what to teach and we
sure didn't plan for it to happen. But, the words just came to our minds. I
always wanted that to happen and I think I just never quite believed that it
could...but it did. I don't know what words I said nor my companion that
touched their hearts but I know that it was the Spirit. It was such a beautiful
and sacred experience that I will never forget. After the lesson, yet we still
had to say a prayer...2 MORE family members came in!! The brother of the Mom
and his wife! Then we started talking to them and it turns out that the wife's
sister is my bishop's wife in my first area chiapa de corzo! wooooow! We set up
an appointment to meet with them as well. WOW! Talk about the coolest thing
ever. 8 people in an hour and a half.
So that was my week. :) hope yours was great! We only have
two weeks left and then transfers! Already! I'm almost at my 8 month mark!
Yikes!
Hope you all have a great week!! Love you all so much and
miss you always!
