so this week was solid work kinda, wednesday to today. so last sunday like 10 days ago we got home a little early to study cause study time is during church and it was rainging so we used the time to do weekly planning cause being in the offices it doesnt make it easy to plan for the week daily planning yes but weekly we dont have time to dedicate to that, so sunday after noon, so we set a goal kind of a high goal of finding 10 new investigators and putting 7 fechas this past week, we started praying to know where god wanted us to contact in what part of the area, the road we felt and decided after like days of praying about.......... ya no one accepted us, but god gave us like miracle people who stopped us in the street or the less active sister who´s mom isnt a member we found. so we found a total of 8 inv. and put 2 fechas, a little lower but a huge improvement over two full weeks without a new inv. miracle and lots of the other miracle guys we didnt even find yet, now we just hagvfe to help thesee people keep learnign about jesus and work to go to church and read and pray adn receive testimonies.
another kind of cool exp. there is a family in our area the sister is a member of likke 22 years and the husband got baptised like 3 years ago has the melquisidec priesthood, is the ward mission leader and he doesnt read the scrips nor has family prayer goes to church in a t shirt adn jeans and does a bunch of stuff, and in his houe still has virgens and other catholic stuff like giant rosary beads.
so we out of love have wanted to help him for a while. Sooooo we went the other day adn we are teaching his father, the father didnt show up to the appt. so norr my comp asks me so are we doing this, i say yup. so norr asks a question about like his alter then like really lovingly honestly we very bluntly and straight forwardly and i say we.... mostly me, i teach a little about example and how our example as members means a lot, and that we need to be examples in word and deed and appearance, then talked about false traditions then how using examples of like apostles wont have these things in their homes and taht we need to model our lives after them....... it was a very blunt lesson, but the spirit was there and im like almost sure they werent offended. but we did it out of love. it was a cool lesson though, he thanked us for reminding him by a little yank of the ears... thats an expression hear.... i dont know how to say it in spanish....
loves you mom, and dad.
