so this week passed like super fast. but really really fast.
polo was a guy in the ward that the elders in front of me baptised and he never got confirmed. id like visited him pretty much every thursday in the 7ish months i have here in the ward. we finally came to the conclusion that he needed to be taught again and then rebaptised more than just be reconfirmed. anyways he didnt progress at all and we were thinking of dropping him, when last thursday he like opens up to us and tells us why he didnt come to church and that he isnt interested in going to church nor be baptised, but its like this 70 year old dude who knows we´re probs not going to visit him anymore and he starts crying and that was super sad. sad that he cried and sad that he rejected progression.
who else we found daniel an inv that we have and we like have a hard time finding him home to teach him so he doesnt progress he´s like a 20 year old that wants to learn and honestly he´s super chosen golden he just needs like a little more of a push before he like gets baptised and i really see him going on a mission.
who else. diana the girl in the baptism clothes in these fotos is super cool, and we are now teaching her sister and friend. which is why converts are so great they are like on fire and want to share the gospel with everyone. her sisters name is nayeli she is beginning to progress i see that she gets baptised but we need to teach her a bunch about the importance of it all and that she needs to make it a priority more than just a sidelined curiosity. she looked up on the internet a bunch about mormons instead of reading the pamphlets we´d given or the book of mormon. the strangest thing wasnt that she was appalled at polygamy, she was like you guys have more than one wife and lovers and stuff...... hahahhahaha NO. she didnt come to church cause she went to her grandmas house so like that might be a little hard ot bring her to church for the first time but with faith and the spirit all is possible.
Antonio is a new inv that we found this week taught the restauratino and tehn he like nayeli hopped on the internet and so when we went to teach the book of mormon he was wanted it to be like a history book and that we could prove all the facts and stuff and stuff. so instead of putting a baptismal date with him we had to take a couple steps back and get him to try his faith so he´d read the book of mormon. he came to church so he progressed and felt the spirit at church so thats great.
oh on sunday we´re on the bus going to the stake center to report, and the buses here get full and then starts the standing room which makes a double file line int eh isle between the seats. so as wefile back as people get off the bus, cause we get on like halfway through the route and the second half is where everyone gets off, by the time we get off we´re normally two of like 6 people on the bus, but anyways as we get further into the bus some lady makes eye contact with me and smiles, i smile and wave and say to my comp i think this is a member talk to her, cause i was sitting down on the window side and he´s in the isle seat. so she is a membe of two years visiting her sick nonmember brother that lives by where we get off the bus so we go with them and give him a blessing and leave. it was a cool experience. cause we wont ever know the outcome of what happens there if he ever gets interested or the missionaries ever teach him. interesting to think about.
i dont think there is anymore. hahaha these are pics of the people that got baptised on valentines day and when they got married.
love you!
