Hey everyone!
Well this week has been way busy. We went to the city for meetings 3 or more times. We had a musical fireside last night were all of the missionaries sang. Other than having a ton of meetings and traveling a lot we had a good week. We have some good investigators that have some great potential for baptism. We found Brother Teody just before Elder Villasor transferred May 4. He is Catholic but he doesn't want to church cause he noticed that there are people that don't follow the commandments. We have taught him about 4 times and he was confused why the world is the way it is so we shared The Restoration with him. Right now we just finished the BOM with him and now we will teach Faith. Something he noticed that he liked about the church is even thou there is little attending church rather than the catholic church, we are more spiritual and obedient to the commandments. He noticed this even thou he hasn't been to church yet. That tells me that people really are watching even when we don't think they are.
Sister Rosario De Jesus is another investigator we found last transfer. We have taught he about 4 times now also. The 2nd time we taught her we had her pray about it and she did. I have already told this story. After she prayed she had some questions that randomly came to her mind about the priesthood she said. Last week we taught she was having a hard time with her family. A lot of trials have entered her life and all at once. While we were teaching her she started to cry and she said she was able to hold it back when she was with her family. She committed to pray again and continue to read. We shared a message from the BOM and after she asked if she could borrow it for a while. We told her it was her's to keep.
The Morgan Family is another investigator who is pretty close to baptism. They come to church every week. Last week they walked even thou it was raining really hard. We helped them get home so they didn't have to walk in the storm. They are an awesome family.
Well today we had district meeting and so we set goals and plans for the next 4 weeks as a district. Even thou it was just planning it was very guided. We made a calendar for the next 4 weeks of what we will be studying. After that we had a short 10 min. discussion as a district about the meaning for sustaining. I learned a lot!!! Sustaining of leaders means that you are going to do all you can to help that leader succeed in his or her calling. Its not just the raise of a hand. Sometimes we think when someone is sustained we leave everything up to them but that not what it means. They cant do a good job if they don't have the support and help of the members. Well thats about it. I love you all and hope you all have great week. Until next week take care.
