| A great p-day!! |
Dear family, we had a great week this week. It´s starting to get hot!! Luckily we have air condicioning in our house. We are turning it on every night, it´s incredibly loud, but it works! I´m guessing that it´s still not feeling to hot in Utah.. And no, I´m not wearing green today.. You´ll have to pinch me when i get back, if you remember. They don´t celebrate Saint Patricks Day today.
We had another week of success!! We had 6 investigadors
in church yesterday. A and her kids are Awesome! Yesterday they
arrived early, without the help of any member, and properly dressed for
church! Hna A sang in the choir and is going with the relief society
to an activity on saturday. They´re going to be dancing and she´s going
to participate. They´re basically already members, but Hna A still
needs to get divorced before she can get baptised. It´s looking like it
could be a long and costly process. Chances are i won´t be here to see
her baptism.. But i´m glad to have found her be the first missionaries
to teach her. We´re going to see if her kids can get baptised this
month. We usually try not to baptise kids if there parents aren´t active
members, but this is a special situacion. A is active, but not a
member. Her daughter is 15 and her son 9. We´re also teaching their
neighbor, L. He´s 13 and yesterday he arrived to church 30
minutes early, and all alone. He lives almost 30 minutes away from the
church. He is reading the book of mormon and wants to get baptised. He´s
a stud, definately a future missionary. He could also be baptised this
month, but we´re not sure if it´s the best thing to do.
We want to make sure that he´s going to stay
active. The investigadors have to have more than a testimony. A
testimony is not that hard to obtain. Satan knows that our church is
true, but that doesn´t mean he´s going to follow it. The investigadors
need to be converted!!! If they have a true conversion it means that
they know it´s true, and they´re willing to follow the will of God, no
matter what it means. As members we also need to make sure that we´re
"converted" to the gospel, and not just have a testimony.
This last week we had a conference with President
Cantú. It was pretty intense. We talked a lot about giving ALL of what
we have. I want to make sure that i´m really giving EVERYTHING i have
for the rest of my mission and like dad always says "not leave anything
on the court". If i could give everything to win a basketball game, i
can give everything for the Lord.
Today we did something i hadn´t done in a while. We
went fishing!! Only here you don´t fish with a fishing pole, you fish
with an empty coke bottel with a fishing line tied around. It´s works
better than you´d think. Some other people that were there were using
the same thing and caught more than 20 fish. I think we´re better off
fishing for men(investigadors).. A few investigadors took us and the
other missionaries in our district. We didn´t catch anything, but we had
a good time. L went. He already wants to be a missionary!
I hope you all have a great week!!! Love Elder Mecham
