Well we know cambios ha, and me and
my companion will be staying in the same area together!!! I know there
is a reason for this, I don't know exactly what but I know we will have a
baptism this change. I feel like there is so much to tell you but I
don't know if I can remember it all.
Andrea and Nathan!!! Thank you so much for the package! I was so suprised to have one and I loved it! Thank you so much!
Well this past week was a little rought. Our family didn't come to church :( we actually went with our bishop on Saturday
night and he gave them each a blessing for strength and comfort and it
was a really sweet experience, but then the next day they didn't come to
church so me and my companion went to see if they could come for
sacrament meeting and S. was sleeping and she said she had a cold
and that they couldn't come this week, but that they still want to be
baptized so that's good. We are going to go visit them to day and
figure out what's wrong but I know they can make it through this!
Ah with all the new investigators we have it's
getting tedious and we are trying to thin out who is interested and not.
Cause we have a mission goal called HTC (Hablar con todos) and they
ask every day if we did or if we didn't. And so if we have a set lesson
then we go to it but if it falls through or we don't have one set then
we being talking to everyone... unless we feel the Spirit then we talk
to someone even if we have a charla, but it's good and bad. Because we
get to talk to so many people we love it! but we can't keep up with all
of them so that is hard.
Last monday! We had a cool experience. So after
p-day we are out teaching and we had a set charla at 7 and we looked at
the clock and we had about 10 minutes until we had to be there. We were
walking and we felt a strong impression that we needed to go contact a
reference. So we went and she came out, and we had talked to her
husband and son and they seemed really interested and now we just had to
talk to her. Well the first thing she says to us is I'm Cathlic and
I'm not going to change. And so we started talking about that and how
is is awesome that she believes in God and Christ especially in the
world today and then I felt the impression to ask a question, how she
got this faith and how she had the desire to share and teach her
children this. And she went off on this amazing story of how is has
changed her life and how she had depression and found God and then my
companion had an experience that she was able to share and we could feel
the Spirit so strong. Well we finished and taught her a little of the
Plan of Salvation and she is a new! and we have an appointment with her
soon! It was amazing and I know that the Lord is helping us and confided
in us and that he blessed us with this prompting to talk to her. I
don't know what's going to happen but we'll see!!
Ah President Gonzalez of the Seventy came and it was
amazing!! I can't remember everything we learned.... but he talked
about how the message we carry is HOPE. That everything we can apply or
bring it back to hope and that there is always a message of hope to
continue on, and how we need to have an eye of faith. and then he also
talked about how we could use our time more wisely and work through the
less actives and he gave us an example about going to them and asking
them what they could do to help the work of salvation or invite them to
accompany us or ask them what they could do to help someone that is
investigating the church. And then also in PME ch 11 about committment
and how after you do a direct committment like will you attend church
with us the sunday
and they give you an excuse find the good in the excuse and then work
it so that they can figure out a solution, and not just give them
something to do so they can fix that, but let them think how to resolve
it because then they are more likely to follow through.
The mission is awesome and I can't believe I have
been out now for almost 7 months. I miss you lots, but I also love the
work, and I only have one time to give everything to the Lord, and I'm
so grateful for all the support I have from each of you in helping me do
this. If you have any suggestions on how I can be more dedicated or
more obedient or anything please share it with me, and share with me
your experiences. I love you all so much!!!
Love,
Hermana Louder
