Another awesome week here in the CLAM! I failed to mention last week about some of the milagros (miracles) we saw last Sunday. It was a special Sunday! P passed the sacrament for the very first time and he was so excited to do it to. Later in a lesson he told his mom proudly that he got to pass the Santa Cena. The M's also taught the Gospel Principles class! It was incredible to be in their class and listen to them teach!
A is still progressing. He is so friendly and enjoyed the two lessons we shared. When we asked about baptism, he said he would like to wait to be sure. He loves that baptism can be his choice and that it is like how Jesus was baptized. We are going to invite him to the visitors center, too!
The other day we passed a famous people party and saw flashing camera lights. We like to pretend that we hung out with Justin Bieber...he he he!
By the way, I love Preach my Gospel! If any of you have a copy lying around unused...use it please! It has so many great lessons in it! I love the stories, too, because they are real missionary work in action! I love pg. 157-158 about the taxi driver, and there are many other great stories as well!
We had a missionary fireside last Sunday and a lot of people came. We wrote our testimonies and then everyone read another Elder’s testimony out loud. Our focus was that it doesn’t matter who is reading the testimony -- the Spirit still talks to those who hear it (that is why the scriptures are so universal...:) Then we passed out cards and got the names of those there, and who they would like to give a Book of Mormon to. Later in the week we passed out Books of Mormon to the members; they wrote their testimonies in the front and we are going to deliver them with the members!! It was really cool! We also got a cool referral, contact and return appointment at the farewell of one of the young men leaving our ward for the MTC. It was way fast and took us by surprise!
Lately we have been biking around, too! This morning we biked to soccer (about 3 miles ida y vuelta) and on Saturday we biked almost all day using only 8 miles on our car! We want to save miles and "years on the hips" ;) We have been eating healthier now too. It takes more time and money, but hey... we are paying ourselves right...:)
Update on other investigators: We hope to set a date with J tonight, and Y has kept progressing! They both came to church with C yesterday, too! Funny story: C was on the phone when we got to their house last lesson, so Elder D. and I had a mini light saber dual when she left the room, which was really fun. She came back and we immediately stopped. She didn't seem to notice, but then asked us if we had been having a light saber battle. We gave her the "huh?" expression and shook our heads. Then we all started laughing. It was really funny!
J, the older brother of P and M, came to church and has been listening when we come over. We hope that this contagious spirit will spread to the entire family eventually! Last night, we contacted two former investigators who let us in right away to talk a bit. They are a really awesome family! They said we can come back on Wednesday night. I know that when we are obedient we receive the Spirit. And the Spirit gives us power (Alma 18:35). I love you all and hope you are well!
