This week was super good!!! How have
things been going for you all? Now that school will be ending, what will
you guys be doing? Lots of plans? I hope all is well, and work hard
until the end of school!!
YEAH!!! Congragulations Megan!! Ah that'll be sooooo
fun to be in acting up again! I can't wait to hear more about it and to
hear how you are doing.....
YEAHHH!!! IT'S A
BOY!! I'm so excited for you guys, Andrea and Nathan!! Congrats!!!! Good
luck now to stay healthy and strong, I'm praying for you and now your
new little boy!!
Well to answer you question I have had 4 baptims in the mission. L., who is 10, in January the 26. M., who is 21, in January the 31. Lo., who is 10.... and baptized the 8 of February. And Le., who is 38, and was baptized March 20
and she wasn't confirmed when I left.... so hopefully they have been
able to find her and have her confirmed because it is not good to wait
so long. Every baptism had its own trials to get there and each of them
is awesome!! I hope they are all still going to church and staying
strong.
Well this week was really good, I still can't believe all that is happening.
SUNDAY!!!
We had 10, TEN, investigators in the church!! WOW!!! The Heavenly
Father really is helping and blessing us, because it has been hard. But
last week we went to go visit a new investigator that we found in the
street and when we got to her house there was a man standing outside and
he said she wasn't home and we started to talk to him and share the
gospel with him and he told us he had talked to the missionaries before
and that they wanted to go to church and were interested! So we came
back a different day and had a lesson with him and his wife and one of
their kids, and they were super nice, and come to find out, right when
me and my companion came her we had a charla set with them but we didn't
have their address and only a phone number and well kinda forgot about
them, but this really is Heavenly Father´s work and knew that his
children needed the gospel. Well we have been going back and every time
we go back they have a another child listening and we committed them
and three of there children to baptism for the 7 of June. On Saturday
we had a super good lesson, and we taught the plan of salvation with my
drawings :) and they loved it! And then after we were super nervous to
find out if they were married so finally we are going through this
booklet, called seguidme! to help them prepare for baptism and has
things they have to commit to do and things we have to teach them and we
are going through the committments and come to live the law of
chastity. And we are like, we know whe havent taught this but to be
baptized you need to live the law of chastity, and be married and....
and you married?? and then there was silence. And then we told us yes!!
We have been married 21 years!! Ah it was perfect! Now the only problem
with them is to help them live the word of wisdom that we know so far.
And they all came to church and loved it! And we are working to help
them prepare for baptsim!! Their names are S. and E. (the
parents) and then the kids, Le (14), M (12), and V (9).
Ah they are awesome!!!
And then we had another investigator and her kids
and grandchildren come to church. P, and M, C, and
F, and L, and then more little children and they are awesome!
She is evangelica and wants to get married to her husband now and wants
to read the book of mormon but super new and super awesome. She is
really nice and calls all the children to come listen and they are good.
It will take time cause they need to get married first but yeah!
And then we also had A and G come to the
first class. And we had the Stake presidency here and the Stake
Patriarch talked about Patriachal Blessings and getting married to live
with their families, and after the class they had to leave, but turned
to me and were like, we loved it! and want to get married now!!! so we
are going to keep working with them!!
Really me and my companion have been so blessed her
in San Carlos over this change we have found over 80 new investigators
and it is so hard, like near impossible to keep up with them all, the
Heavenly Father is really blessing us and helping us, even though we
haven't had a baptism we are working super hard with all our
investigators and our converts! By the way our converts are amazing!!
Almost all are coming to church and coming on their own, we pass by, and
I fell like I am being taught. We have this new thing in the mission
called Retenidos, like to help retain them in the church so we are
working to keep the converts and new members we have and then also
baptize and help more come to the churhc.
I love the mission!!! It is awesome! We have cambios next week so I won't be writing until Tuesday but I'm hoping we both stay here!! I love you all! Thank you for the support! Love you!!1
Love,
Hermana Louder
