Hey everyone!
This week was absolutely crazy busy! Which is always a good thing right? Thanks everyone for the advice on some activities! We are goign to try and figure something out! But anyway, Right now we are seeing Miracles and the Lord is truly blessing us for the hard work we put in over the Holidays. We have four baptismal dates and a couple futures thart have some real potential!
James is honestly such a stud! He still have a date to be baptized this coming weekend. We have taught him just about everything and we dont see any problems that could jump out at us. We are super excited for him. Unfortunately, his mom dies this past week and he was pretty down. It was good though because a day or two before we had taught him the Plan of Salvation. Although he was sad, he new exactly where his mom was and is content to know that she is in a better place. When he told us, the spirit was so strong in the room, it was amazing!
Next, we are still working with Lupe, but she still has a lot of changes in her life, and is progressing very slowly. She couldnt come to church this past week because her boyfriend was in the Hospital sick. We werent able to visit her too many times this week and because she didnt come to church we will have to puch her baptismal date back a few weeks. We are praying hard and keeping our Faith!
Then we are working with a Father and Daughter named Estefania (FiFi) and Francisco! They are a reference from some members here. Fifi is really good friends with one of the young women and one day told us she wanted to get baptized! So we started to teach them both. Francisco, at first, wasnt so interested in the church and more just wanted to know what his daughter was getting into, but now he comes to the lessons and church really to learn and find out for himself if the church is true! He says he doesnt have any Faith because of certain things that have passed in his life, but we she the light in him. It will take some work but they both are progressing really well! This past Sunday was a great Sunday for them! When we talked to them after church, FiFi and a huge smile on her face and came running out of the church and gave her dad a huge hug and just started telling him 100 times! I said my first prayer! I said my first prayer! And it felt so good inside! It was awesome! Later that night we had a lesson with them and Francisco said his first prayer! It was a great moment! Little by little they are progressing towards baptism! I love it! I love the Spirit! I love this work!
After that we have some more member referals we are goign to have visits with this week and hopefully help more people come unto Christ in these coming weeks! Im excited!
So the big story of this week was we had a gas leak in our piso this week.... It was awesome... No, it was terrible. Because of the Gas Leak, we had to sleep with all the windows open for two nights in a row! It was terrible! I honestly almost walked outside in the middle of the night to the Hotel down the street! haha It was such a joke! I attached a picture of what I slept in... On top of that were about 12 other blankets! haha I froze to death! But hey, Its the best two years... haha
Well thats about it for this week! Hopefully Justin gets his call this week! Please keep me posted, I was dying to know all week! haha Please keep our investigators in your prayers! I really can tell a difference! I love you all and wish you all a great week!
Much Love!
