Well this week was very exciting for my comp and me. First of all, Tuesday we had a conference with president and hna Godfrey, his wife, and it was so amazing!! My mission president is seriously the best. Anyways they got people off the street and payed them to listen to us to have practices, but on real people (usually its just with each other) so that was crazy, but aparently by the end the 6 people they grabbed, in the end 3 were interested in the church! That itself is a miracle. But our president went over again the way he wants us to work. Which is to work with the members! And let me just say, it totally works. We asked for references every time we visited members, and they gave us some really good ones. This sunday 7 of our investigators came to church (2 families and another lady).. That is more than any other time in my whole mission! We were very excited and although those families are not married yet, we are working to have them marry this month or next but they want to get baptized!! One family specifically, the Familia Inojosa we contacted the reference on saturday and then they came to church with the help of the member, and we taught them sunday evening. And they want to be marry and be baptized. They have a 14 and 15 and 7 year old girls and a 2 year old boy. So cute and so beyond prepared its ridiculous. We really are just the instruments in the hands of the lord. But we are so excited and happy for them. I just hope and pray all goes well.
I know this church is true and I know that as a missionary, the help of members is not only important or necessary, but essential. So its up to you all as members to share the gospel and look for your friends who are not members and spread the joy you all feel! I know this gospel is true and that gods plan for us, through the atonement of Jesus christ is true and the only way we can really be happy is by obeying his commandments! I love you all and hope you have a beautiful week!!
Love, Hna Smoot
