Week 90: Good Week!

Hey Everyone!  

This week was a good one, and we saw some big progress in the area!  

First off, last sunday, some members took a family to church, and in the family, there are seven children, and a single mom.  They live super far away, but our ward mission leader takes us to the house, and we were able to teach the family this week.  

The mom is named Diana (Dee-ana) and they live in very humble circumstances.  She is a really strong woman, and we were able to teach her about the Restoration, and it went well, and at the end of the first lesson she accepted a baptismal date for the 2nd of June!

We were able to do a service project for her as well, because before, whenever it rained, the water would come into the house, and because they have dirt floors, it caused a mess, especially with seven children.  So, we were able to fix it all up so the water doesnt get in!

This week, we were blessed with a lot of new investigators.  We got 8 new investigators!  We found one family that is really prepared.  We talked to a woman named Lourdes in the street, and she told us that we could go by another day.  So, we went on Saturday, and they let us in!  We got to teach their whole family, and they really have a lot of potential considering the things that they were saying, and told us a lot of things that they think a church should have, and they were all things that we have!  Also, the father asked us randomly, ¨what does Mormon mean?¨ So, we explained a tiny part of the Book of Mormon, and he told us that he really wants to read it!  We have the follow up appointment today, so we will see what happens!

Funny

Last night, we were contacting in the street, and we approached a man, and my companion stuck out his hand to greet him, and he asked him if he could shake his hand.  The dude got all awkward, and said, ¨no, i´m armed,¨ and he showed us the knife he had in his hand.  So, we smiled, said okay, and walked away super confused.  

I know that this church and the Book of Mormon are true!  I am so grateful for my mission and the lessons the Lord has taught me!
