So this week went by pretty fast. To kinda change things up
from what I normally write about, I will give a quick rundown of my week.
Tuesday we were preparing one of our investigators for her baptismal date. It is amazing to see her faith. She doesn't have any money and is barely getting by
trying to raise her 3 grandkids because her daughter is in prison. We also
were able to teach 7 new investigators this week, one of them being the family Arias who I believe I have talked about. They are awesome and they came to
church this week. They have been searching for a church for a while and really
are doing their part to find out if the church is true.
We spent Wednesday walking and trying to do daily verification to make sure our
investigators are progressing. We were able to teach a sister of the family Avila
Garzon who is an awesome family that wants us to pass all the time. The
problem with this family is they are way way Catholic but we are trying to get
the Ward involved so they can come.
On Thursday, we did a lot of studies and had the interview for Maria Counsuelo who
will be getting baptized the next Saturday.
Friday was the District Meeting and we were able to find
another family who were way excited to hear our message at first, but after a
little bit, the mom left, the daughter was on her phone and the other two were
trying to listen to us in a busy street. But hopefully we will be able to pass
by and teach them later
Saturday
we were able to find a menos activo of 10 years when we were walking with a
member. It was awesome because he wanted to hear the missionaries again and
wanted his wife to hear us. So we were able to teach them and they are an
awesome family.
Sunday
we had 2 people at church and we spent the day talking and teaching members.
Overall
this week was awesome. We have some great investigadores who are progressing
and others that after one visit have told us that they don't want anything. But I am very grateful to still be here in Neiva. The ward has been great and have
really been helping our investigators. It has been weird to think that this
could be my last week in Neiva. After spending 6 months in this city, it has
really become my second home. I am so grateful to the Lord for having put me
here.
I love
you guys. Have a great week. I am sorry there aren't pictures but my computer won't
allow it.
