Week 58 (June 26, 2017)

SUBWAY :)

Temple!

We saw Hno Miguel at the temple!! (ward mission leader in my first ward) what a happy reunion.

And we also saw the other sisters there too haha. So many missionaries went this day.

Well, This week was actually a really good week! We had our once a transfer zone conference with president which is always so amazing! Our mission is really focusing on Teaching Repentance and Baptizing Converts. So we had practice in our conference in front of our leaders, with real investigators! A little nerve racking but all went smoothly. But we have really been focusing on helping them have a strong testimony before there baptism.  Its been going really good.

Oh we also got our flu shot here too. just to let you know.

This week we also went to the TEMPLE!! But we didnt participate  in anything becuase we went with our converts to do baptisms! And so with our Ward Mission Leader and his wife, we went with Raul and Miguel! and It was such a special experience to see them in the temple to do baptisms.

Our investigators are progressing really well and we continue to find more. Our mission pres is always giving us new ideas on how to find more investigators and so we have been putting them into practice.  

On saturday we were walking and this guy, Efrain, shouted from across the park "hey what message do you have for me today?" We were a little starteled because near by were also men drinking, so we didnt know if he was one of them or not. But we got talking to him and he ended up being an old investigator who had had problems with his wife (not married) before, but now they are separated. We taught him L1 right there on a park bench and he was very interested. He came to church the next day, and we can tell that maybe about a year ago with the other missionaries wasnt his time, but maybe now is. We are excited to see what happens.

I know that heavenly father knows us and loves us perfectly.  I am so very greatful for the opposition in life so that we can truly know the joy!

I love you all and am so greatful for all your love and support.

Praying for you always.
