I can´t even tell you how tiring this week has been. We have been working a ton here to find new investigators. But, we have been having a lot of luck with less active members.
1: Raul and Magalí - they are a couple that have been living together for about four years now. They have a little girl, Bianca, she is 2 1/2 and tall for her age. Raul was baptized when he was about 12 years old, and he hasn´t been to church in about 18 years. Nobody has come by to visit him. We hope it is because the address that the church had was wrong, so we just asked a whole bunch of people if they new where familia Gomez lived. Magalí is awesome. She is really receptive to the Gospel. The only problem - they have to get married. And when we talked about it with them, Raul got a little defensive. But that´s fine, we are teaching what the Lord wants, not what the world wants. :)
2: Ismael and Florencia. They have been together for about a year and a half. Florencia is great, she has heard all there is about the Gospel. She goes to church, she´s gone visiting teaching with the sisters, she has a testimony, and she wants to be baptised. Ismael has been a member his entire life. He comes from a strong family in the Church and everyone knows him. They are super great, and are expecting a little girl in September. The problem is the same as the last - they need to get married. They think it is a complicated process, but what they don´t know is, the missionaries here are EXPERTS in getting people married. ;) We are working with them.
3: Veronica. She´s eight years old. All of her family are members. She´s been to church the past three weeks and loves the primary. We had an awesome lesson last night about how everything is for our good. After Veronica prayed we noticed her mother was crying. It was awesomely spiritual. :) So far, there isn´t a problem. I´m praying it stays that way. :)
Well, it´s avocado season here, and we are ENJOYING it. :) Omelets, sandwiches, plain, anything. It's good. And they are huge - we bought four about a day and a half ago and we just finished them today. So we are off to buy more.
Well, I´d better let you guys go, but thank you for all the support. Especially for the prayers. I know the lord is blessing me here, even if it is a hard city to find people. :) I love this Gospel. I´m grateful that I can be an instrument in the Lord's hands. I love you all. Be safe, be Strong, be Smart. Trust in the Lord with all your heart.
