Hola familia! It was a good week here other than the fact
that Arica has decided to skip spring and go straight into summer. IT IS SO
HOT! But other than that Hermana Gemin and I are doing well.
Yesterday we were working with a member and we were walking
down the street. There were 2 little boys on a bike near the 2 groups of
people and they fell over. One of them was on the ground screaming and crying and was
scrapped up pretty bad. We ran to help them and ended up taking them back home.
As we walked away I realized I had lived the parable of The Good Samaritan.
Haha we all got a good laugh out of that, but it was also a good learning
experience for me. Charity is the most important things. Its not a bad thing to
be out in the street trying to help people come unto Christ but it isn't enough
to just preach or sing it. We have to live it! If we want people to come unto
Christ we have to act like Christ.
Anyways this week was really great and we have started
cleaning out our stock of investigators again. We found lots of new
investigators a few of which have baptismal dates and also ended up leaving a
few investigators. One of them being Rosalia. We visited her to explain that we
would write in her teaching record that missionaries should pass by in a
few months, stuff like that. She was so sad but Hermana Gemin and I feel like
it was right and hopefully what she needs to really understand our purpose as
missionaries.
The Avendaños are honestly so close to being baptized but
there are just a few barriers keeping them back. Mauricio (dad) is scared to
stop being Catholic and Paula doesn't like going to church. Those are our 2 big
obstacles for now but we are trying to work more with the ward to help them
feel the spirit and also have desires to come to church.
Pablo and Annet are doing so well. And we are in the process
of teaching them all the lessons again.
This weekPpresident came to Arica and we had a mini
conference and interviews. It was great too see him and he always has the
greatest advice.
Cuídense!
