This week was great! We started the week with a special zone conference with the assistents to President, President and his wife. The focus was a lot on accomplishing goals. It was one of the best meetings I´ve had! I was able to recieve a lot of helpful personal revelation to apply! After the meeting, we got to work and headed off into the week determined to accomplish our goals. It was raining and pretty cold for a good part of the week, which slowed things down a little bit, but it started to pick up by the end when I went on divisions with Elder Alvarez from Chile. But by the end of the week, our goals were looking pretty glim. So Saturday night, we decided to really kick it into high gear to be able to complete them. We were able to do divisions with members of the ward for the first time here and split off to have lessons. And the rest that happened was a lot of miracles! We were able to have a ton of lessons and even find new people to teach in one day! We were´nt able to complete every one of our weekly goals but got sure close! It just shows the importance of diligence in this work always! Diligence is faith in action so miracles can happen! <-(Hey it rhymes, kind of)
Scripture of the Week: Man! I always forget the scripture I want to share, but I think it is in Doctrine and Covenants 75:2-5 or something like that, where it talks a lot about diligence. Like I mentioned this week, it was a big focus of mine. I like in verse 3 where it talks about not tarrying. To me, that means not wasting time and making the most of every moment. In the mission, sometimes i do that with out even realizing! But its important to remember that this is the Lords time so I want to make the most our of this time, as its already flying by!
Investigator Progress Update. So I think I mentioned in my other emails about Iara the 8 year old girl. Well, we talked to our President of the Mission and he said ya of course she can get baptized! (As her Grandpa is a member and going to church) So we have the miracle baptism of her this saturday!
Also we had another miracle of a less active family coming to church this Sunday! They are the family Ramirez that have a son who is 9 and not baptized so hopefully we will continue having them in church so Mario can get baptized to complete the family!
Sadly, Irene didnt make it to church this week. We´re not sure why yet as we went to her house and she wasnt there. But she had a lot of progress with her smoking as she is only smoking around 5 a day! Great progress for her! I know she will be able to quit smoking and get baptized soon!
