Hello there all of you good people. Whats going on?
So I had a good week here in Lagoa. I'm starting to get more of a feel of the area, the members, and our investigators.
Since last Sunday was Stake Conference, I got to experience our
branch for the first time yesterday. Our branch is really small and
there were probably 25-30 people there yesterday. But like Vera Cruz, I
really enjoy small branches because all of the
members are really close and its good to make good friendships with
them. There was a family visiting from Bento that I met there and they
are planning on moving out here which would be cool and help out our
branch a lot. We also found a woman this week
that is less active while we were looking for new investigators and she
was really happy to talk with us and then she went to church this last
week. I noticed that during the fast and testimony meeting she was
feeling the spirit and she told us that she would
for sure come next week too. We will are planning on visiting her this
next week and hopefully we can meet and teach her boyfriend that isn't a
member. We also marked a baptism date this Saturday with one of our
investigators Celso. He is a middle age man
that is a good friends with some of the members and has already been
frequenting the church for months. He has been really hesitant when it
comes to baptism, even though he already passed the baptismal interview
with prior missionaries. He thinks he isn't
ready because he has a lot of confusion in his life and wants his life
to become more clear and stable before baptism. We had a good lesson
with him and focused on the gift of the Holy Ghost and how it would help
him with these important decisions after his
baptism. He was still a little hesitant when we tried to mark the date
but then finally accepted. We are definitely going to have to follow
up a lot with him this week to keep him motivated and prepared for this
Saturday.
For this next week I think a majority of our work is going to be
looking for new investigators. Wish us good luck and that we can find
some of the ``eleitos`` But I'm doing well here so don't worry about me
:) Thanks for everything and have an awesome
week!!
