Hi everyone, this week was a mess. We contacted like 4 days
of the week and ended up not finding anybody who really has potential or wants
us to come back. It was hard.
Tuesday we had a Zone Meeting and it was really good, then
we went out and contacted.
Contacted Wednesday, Thursday and Friday- and we didn't
really find anybody! It was rough because Ada and Isabel, the sisters that
we've been teaching, have kinda turned off on us. They haven't really completed
with reading the Book of Mormon and praying. They do it, but not with a sincere
heart. So that's really what we focused on with them this week, praying and
reading with real intent so that they can find their answer to know if this
church is true. It was a really cool lesson though, because we really broke
down the things that are holding them back. We felt the spirit with them for
the first time in a while and committed them to try harder.
One of our investigators named Reny is progressing really
well. He has problems with a few of the commandments but he's super willing to
change.
The best part of the week was after church yesterday. Edwin
came to church and he has a baptismal date for the 26th of March, this coming
Saturday. So we taught him a short lesson and we felt the spirit so strong. We
went over the baptismal interview questions and the guy is super ready! It was
a powerful lesson. Afterwards Suero and I were talking and we realized that the
reason we've been together for 6 months is so that we could baptize Edwin. He's
been taught by so many missionaries, and we're the only ones that have gotten
through to him in a way that he has a desire to be baptized. It was super cool
to realize that. I can honestly say that there is a purpose in the revelation
that President Boucher gets about transfers.
Today I'm really sick with the flu or something and I don't
have the mentality to write a whole lot, just know that Edwin is going to be
baptized and that was the best part of the week!
This is the church that Christ founded. It has been restored
through a prophet and we all have the opportunity to take part in the gospel of
Jesus Christ. I love the gospel. I love being a missionary even though it's
frustrating at times. It's the best thing ever.
Love you all!
Elder Nelson
