Week 75

2 April 2018

Hey everybody, hows it going?HAppy easter (yesterday) its been a good week. the mission is going great, its flying by all my friends in the mish are leaving. I have changes this week, i dont know where still. but ill miss this area, i didnt baptise anybody, but i reactivated a ton of people here. Some really good families. so i feel good with the work that ive done here, when i got here we were teaching only eternal investigaotres, people who had listened to the missionaries for years and never gone to church ha. but as i leave we have a ton of people with baptismal dates and going to church, so i feel good.
This week was general confrence as many of yall know, i feel that every confrence gets better and better. we had some investigatores go to the first session on saturday. It was cool that they could see that. and well, we found them when i was in interchanges with my district leader it was a cool expirence. So first we went out to visit the familiy Hernandez (the mennonites) and we talked to the one named dulce about her brother in law, Rene (his real name is Naum, but he didnt give us his real name cause thats dangerous here lol thats what dulce said) so she says oh, he lives in that mountian over there, so i say sweet lets go. so we crossed two mountians and some rivers to get to his house, and it was getting dark and we were lost haha, i could see what i thought was his house so the dl tells me call him so i did, so i see a guy on the other mountian raise his hand up to his ear and starts talking and i knew it was him. so we finally get to his house and we sit down and his house is probably the size of your bedroom made outta adobe bricks and plastic for a roof. and we start talking and he says "i called yall cause i need help but spiritually" and so that shocked me usually people ask for some pesos americanos. but he went toan acticity and a session of confrence so he seems sincere in his search of spiritual help. Im so glad that i can help these people find Jesus, cause sure, i could give him a hundred bucks and hed be happy but for a moment. I know that what we offer, spiritual help, is worth a lot more than a hundred bucks and will help him more in the long run.
love yall
