Dear Family,
We have a
really awesome investigator right now. When I first arrived, she was only
marginally interested in what we had to share, but now she is progressing in
leaps and bounds. A little over a week ago, we taught her about the importance
of keeping the Sabbath day holy. She was making and selling food on weekends. A
few days later, she told us that God illuminated her mind with the thought that
she should start selling on weekdays so that she could leave Sundays free for
God. And she is doing it. We taught her about tithing and that Sunday she
showed up ready to pay and she isn't even a member yet!
Saturday we had
the baptism for Walter, the young man who brought his friend Angel Ariel to
church. At the last minute I had to give the talk on baptism. I guess it isn't
too hard of a topic to speak on without preparation since it's part of our
lesson. I also am a firm believer in short, to-the-point talks. Any guesses
where I picked that up?
Today we had an
Hermanas p-day. Some of the Hermanas had to travel from far away. So they did
their traveling yesterday and stayed the night with other Hermanas. I was
really, really happy that Hermana Nuñez and her companion came to stay the
night with us. It was like having a mission sleep over!
The other
upside of having Hermanas p-day is that we got to know President and Sister
Klein a little better. Sister Klein talked some about applying Christ-like
attributes in our lives. President Klein talked about his priorities for us. He
really wants us to focus on teaching effectively and having the Spirit in our
lessons. By the end of the year, we're supposed to get something like 90 new
missionaries in our mission, 24 of which will be sisters. In other words, the
number of sisters in our mission will almost double. We have 24 sisters right
now, but a few of them will go home by December.
Thanks for your
letters and your prayers.
