Buenas Tardes, and happy birthday dad! Thanks for being such a great father. Hope everything is good at home, and that you're enjoying Christmas and the cold!
We had another pretty decent week. Some of
our investigadors are really starting to progress, while at the same
time, we've had to leave quite a few because they weren't completing
with their part. P, the sister that was escogido, told us that she
didn't want us to keep visiting her because she likes her church more.
We asked her if she read and prayed and of course she said no. Reading
in the book of mormon is EVERYTHING! If someone who seems like a golden
investigador never reads, they're never going to progress. When they
read, they recieve revelation without even realizing it and little by
little come to know that the church is true. If they don't read and
pray, satan slowly works his way in and destroys the tiny seed that we
plant and the investigador falls.
We have several baptism dates for the 29 of
December. We're going to be praying that they can all work out. We have
one couple that needs to get married and a couple other people who still
need to go to church without our help and pay tithing. These new rules
are tough, but it's for the best. Our ward is also really excited right
now, they are all helping us a ton and we're recieving a lot of
references.
Yesterday Elder Aleman and I both spoke. I based my
talk on the scripture Isaias 58:10. It says that when we serve the
hungry and afflicted, that we're lifted up out of our own darkness and
recieve light. I related the subject of service to missionary work since
the best way we can serve is by sharing the gospel. I remembered
preparing my farewell talk which was also on service, i honestly don't
remember much from that talk, but i can say that my method of preparing
is a lot different now.
Today Elder Aleman and I went to el Jardin Botanico.
It's a sweet gardin that has a lot of different plants and natural art.
It was pretty intense. I almost felt like i was with our family on
vacation or something because Elder Aleman wanted to stop and read EVERY
little description and take pictures of EVERYHING (remind you of
someone?) haha but we had a good time. I'm attaching a picture. I'm also
going to attach a picture of my district. I love you all and hope you
all read the scriptures. Love Elder Mecham
