Well another week done. This week was a lot of walking and a lot of sun! Its about 95 degrees right now but for a white kid who is used to the colder weather of Utah right now it feels even hotter. We have two more baptisms coming up this week and a third one planned for next week.
The ones for this weeks names are Hma R and her
daughter R. They are both really receptive and excited to be
baptized. The one for next weeks name is M. she is 9 and is super shy
but is super happy. Her mom is a catholic but is with her daughter in
all the lessons and is learning a lot with her daughter and is
considering baptism as well.
One thing that is really frustrating is when you and
your investigator feel the spirit during a lesson and your both all
psyched to come back and teacher more and when you come back they haven't
changed at all and its like starting all over. Its really hard because
you know they felt something during your previous lesson but Satan likes
to play his little games so its difficult for them to see the point
between lessons.
As far as Spanish goes I feel like this past week
ive finally passed some kind of wall. I by no means am fluent but I
understand a lot more than i feel like I did even a week ago! Its so
nice to see help from The Lord and improvement.
One last thing. My companion and I have been
studying sanctification in our personal study for the last 2 days and
its really cool I found about 30 scriptures about the importance of, and
the way to sanctification. Here are some of them. Study if you please. Helaman 3:35, D&C 88:67-69, Mosiah 3:19, Moroni 7:30, Hebrews 13:20,
Moroni 10:33. The only thing that makes it possible for sanctification
is the Atonement of course but if we make an effort to cast out the evil
in our lives and improve then the Atonement and Christ are right there
to sanctify us and make us better.
