¿Comó
estáis?
So this week
was very regular nothing too exciting happened sorry! So if my email seems short or boring it´s
because this week was super regular and a lot of people cancelled on us.
So as I was
saying this week was super regular investigator-wise. This week we never ended up teaching
Alejandra because she cancelled on us at least 3 times. We are about ready to drop her because she
isn´t changing. She will read her
chapters we give her and she says she wants to change but won’t do the things
she needs to. She seems super ready just
caught up into the world of things and won’t break up with her boy friend
because she has no family out here and somewhere to live or a job. It is super hard to find a job out here. So I am pretty bummed about that because I
love her and I hate dropping people I feel like that is one less child of God
saved. I love all my brothers and
sisters. Jorge, we taught him Tuesday
and it was a good lesson and he still wants to get baptized but we put it off
another week because these last 4 days he hasn’t been answering his phone and
didn´t show to our lesson we set up for Thursday; so he kinda wasted our time
waiting for him, I was a little upset. I
see so much progress in him. Oh haha I
don´t know if I shared this last week but he brought us some car magazines that
had like porn in it haha so we immediately taught him the Law of Chastity and
he understood and told us he didn´t know that was a commandment and was willing
to follow it. He is a good guy and I
hope he will start answering his phone and not waste our time and not show up
to appointments because our time to work is suuuuuper short. We have to baptize all of El Puerto de Santa
María! So Juan, we are close to dropping him.
We have taught him everything maybe 5 times and he still doesn´t know
what Joseph Smith did and why he is important.
We asked him "Why do you think we are here?" He replied "to make me stop
smoking." So if there is one thing
he learned it´s that smoking is bad. We
gave him the pre-drop lesson and Elder Banbury was a little sad but it has to
be done unless he changes, because he is literally wasting precious time we
have to find the chosen and prepared children of God. Let’s see we have one other really good
investigator but she is a little weird.
Her name is Betty. Betty is from
Bolivia and really worried about everything.
She always has the most weird and hard questions. Like she thinks that soldiers out in Afghanistan
that are of our faith that are killing people are breaking the commandment
don´t kill. We told her that´s their job and they are protecting our country
and helping the people there. She is
really concerned about her Salvation I think.
We were arguing for like 5 minutes about this all and while Elder
Banbury was talking to her I was just praying Father bring the spirit back
"ayudame para que pueda saber que necesito hacer para ayudar Betty."
(Father help so that I may know what I need to do to help Betty.) After the first thing that came into my head
is that she hasn´t even prayed to see if Joseph Smith was a prophet. So I asked her this and she said NO. For the 4 weeks we have been teaching her not
once has she prayed to see if these things are true. She has just been trying to find fault in our
church. She believes a lot of the things
we teach, like the doctrine. She asked
me if I had the Authority to baptize so she is thinking about it a lot. So that
is Betty. This weekend we had the Stake
Conference in Chiclana. HOLY COW, sooooo
gorgeous. This place is paradise and
after we had dinner at a members home that live on the beach. It was horrible I didn´t even look at the
beach just the ocean. I have
pictures! SO GORGEOUS. They have this really nice hotel really close
to their home called the BARCELO maybe you could check it out. Oh ps I can see the blog of the mission so
you don’t have to attach all the pictures!
Oh the guy said he got a package so I will get it sometime this
week! I am excited!!!!!!!!!!!
