Hola, otra vez.:)
Well,
this week just kind of flew by! Not too eventful, unfortunately. One of
our investigators finally came to church! (Ricardo Miranda) His wife
(Lourdes) has a lot of questions, and seems very receptive, and she
likes the concept of a baby blessing, especially with the main church
here being Catholic and therefore having infant baptisms.
I am again struck by how much we as missionaries need the
members. People often think that we go knock on doors and what not, and
all in all, it´s missionaries that do all that missionary work stuff...
Not so! We would make little progress without references. Investigators
are a little more receptive when there is a member present for the
lesson, puts the church on a more relatable level. If new members are to
stay in the church, join it, etc, then it is important that members
befriend them and strengthen them. The church is a whole new world for
them. If you look in the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and
even the Bible, you find missionary work EVERYWHERE. Everyone is
encouraged, even commanded to share the gospel.
Remember the invitation of Elder Ballard? To invite somebody
to church before Christmas? Heh heh well, there is still time! Do not
hesitate to share the gospel and pray for missionary opportunities.
Don´t be afraid!!!!
We recently had a conference with a member of the seventy, and
I am feeling pumped to improve and work hard. Sorry, I don´t really
have much more for you other than it´s Christmas time...:)
Love you all, and love hearing from you! Chao!
