| Making Pizzas for a Good Cause |
¡Buenas!
Another quick week in the mission field.
This change is going by super quick. We had another good work week here
in Ocotillo. Last week, we decided to start really focusing in on 11
investigators with potential baptisms for this month. Unfortunately,
after working hard this week, that list has gone down to just 4 or 5.
C, a g in a part-member family, is going back to C for a
month. She says she knows the church is true and wants to be baptized
when she returns. J, the daughter in the family, wants to be
baptized but lacks 2 church attendances and her mom (a member but super
inactive) doesn´t want her getting baptized until she is older. Tough.
The biggest blow came from the V. They agreed to be
baptized and married, but the mother doesn´t have her ID card from
Honduras. In order to be married, she must receive this card first but it
takes 2-3 months. There goes 5 baptisms. One of the sons could still
technically get baptized at the end of the month, but it´s better to
wait for the whole family. I have no doubt that these 7 people will get
baptized down the line in the next change or the one after that. They
have felt the spirit and have true desires. It´s a little difficult
because I probably won´t be here to see them be baptized, but that´s the
way it goes. Through this experience, although it is a little difficult
for me, I have learned to be more patient and that my timescale is not
the Lord´s.
In preparation for their marriage and the marriage
of another family this month, some of the members made and sold pizzas.
We as missionaries helped organize everything. They plan on selling
something this week as well.
We had a good lesson with the F. The bishop was there and we watched an episode of The District 2. G
really enjoyed it and is thinking about preparing for a mission. She
still has 11 months until she can officially go, but it would be pretty
awesome if down the line she does have desires to serve.
Well, that´s all I have. I´ll send some pics. Cheque!!!
