This week was pretty bumpy, to be completely honest, but we can see that the work has potential, and that some members have a few referals that they are preparing.
First off, for Pday, we got to do Tacos with the zone. It was awesome, and it was a really fun activity!
Anyways, this week, a lot of stuff happened haha.
About two weeks ago, we got to talk to a guy named Franco in the street the other day, and he was golden. Last week, we got in with him, and the lesson was so perfect. We got to teach about most of the Restoration, and at the end of the lesson, Franco gave the closing prayer, and he said in his prayer that he hopes that the true church of God has been restored. We were blown away, and we were so excited. However, the next few days, he basically told us that he has no time to listen to us. It was really crushing, since we had gotten our hopes so high, and then they got crushed.
Then, we stopped another kid this week, who is 16. His name is Valentin, and he is golden. So prepared, and he is the friend of a member too. He walked 15-20 mins with us to get to the lesson, and it was a great lesson. We were really happy. However, we found out the next day that his Mom is Evangelist, and she says that he cant listen to us.
It was really difficult to take in, since all the investigators fell this week. However, in my scripture studies, I came across a scripture that I love. It was in Alma, and it says ¨joy that came after much tribulation and sorrow,¨ It is so true! We are tried, and then come the blessings.
Also, I just found out that my last area, Gutiérrez, had 10 investigators at church yesterday! I am so blessed to have been a part of that!
Funny
We are talking to a lot of people, so we have a lot of fun experiences. We tried to talk to a woman, and I stuck my hand out to talk to her, but she scowled at me, and looked away almost disgusted. Right then, she stepped onto the curb to go onto the sidewalk, and she tripped on the curb, and almost biffed it completely. And, all embarrassed, took off trying not to look at us, and we could not stop laughing.
I love you all! I know that this is the work of God, and that he tries our faith, but that he always gives us a fullness of joy following the trial!
