BRINGING and BLESSINGS

We keep having cool experiences with members doing missionary work here in this ward. It is seriously cool to see so many people participating in the work of salvation.

Blessings

So thursday morning we got a text from a member of another ward saying that she wanted to bring us to a friend's house in our area so we could give her a blessing and teach her about the gospel. The friend lives in one of the farthest away neighborhoods of our area that we never go to and the member said it had to be THAT DAY. Fortunately our lunch was in that neighborhood so we were able to catch a ride to go there. When we gave her a blessing she began to cry and thank us and talk about how badly she wanted to have her family more oriented and focused on God. She and her cousin both accepted baptism and were very excited. When we marked the day of their baptism the cousin said "If it were tomorrow I'd already be baptized!!" we had to explain how there are lessons and preparation and she has to come to church first haha.

Bringing Friends to Church

There was another lady that her friend brought her to church Sunday last week and we got to teach her on saturday. All we did to start the lesson was ask how she liked church and she started talking about the peace she felt and the desire to dedicate her life and before we could even finish the invite to the baptismal date she already accepted the day for her baptism. 

Bringing Strangers to Church

During sunday school me and my companion left the lessons and went out to the street to invite everybody to sacrament meeting. Neither of us had tried this before and lots of people blew past us ignoring the invite but we finally managed to bring a young man in and he had a good experience and really liked it. 

The work is going well here. There were other exciting adventures this week that will be told in a few more months 

Tchau gente!
