Todo esta bien con la obra misional! We had an awesome lesson with J. last week. He is the 11-year-old. He is the only person we are teaching that has been excited about the Book of Mormon. He read Alma 17 and got super excited. He LOVED Ammon! We began teaching the Restoration but ran out of time, so we will be finishing it this week and inviting him to be baptized! Hope all goes well. We will keep you as up to date as possible.
We had an awesome lesson with A., too. He told us what he learned in his reading and then applied it to his life! He basically taught us, which we felt would get him more involved. It worked pretty well. We discussed it and then tried to hit the home run even farther with the Spirit. Sadly, he did not come to church this week. Sacrament attendance was pretty sparse in general, though. I guess Easter is a good day to stay home? Not! Go out and help people like the Savior did! :D
We taught a referral named Be. who really wants to read the Book of Mormon and learn about the Plan of Salvation. We will be seeing her tonight.
We had a church tour with Br. and her younger brother. She really enjoyed it. We had a priest-aged young man come with us so we could actually do the tour in the afternoon. She did not come to church either, sadly. Her family always goes out on Sundays and we think she doesn’t want to come to church alone. We need to talk to the parents and get them involved. We want to involve them all! A visitor's center trip is in the plans for this next week. It is spring break and Br. does not have school, so this is a great time to "convert" on the play if I may.
We had a good lesson with C. & M., too. We taught about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with a focus on how we are blessed by baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost. They saw a TV special on the LDS church and really liked it. We have another lesson with them on Wednesday.
Interestingly enough, whenever we drop by to see C. & M. and they happen to be gone, their neighbors come home and talk to us for a bit. Their names are D. & V. and they are from Argentina. They are very nice. This last week we had a good conversation with them and cleared up some doubts they had about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith. We hit it off very well. We took it as a sign that maybe they are there for a reason when the others are not. :D I love the Spirit!
We had a good lesson with a family that a member brought to dinner last night. They said the missionaries could come see them, and the wife says she is going to read the Book of Mormon! They live outside our area so we won’t get to teach them, but someone will!:)
I have learned a little sign language from the ASL elders who give us rides. It came in "handy" yesterday when we talked to a woman who signs. I am also picking up some skills on the rubix cube :) I have been re-reading all of the conference talks and I am so pumped for this next weekend! Santa Mapache -- I cannot wait! Invite everyone you know to watch conference, because most people’s minds are blown when they realize that they can see and hear and follow a prophet today. They can also see how worldwide the Church is. I love you! Stay safe and make sure to do the little things. They are usually the things that matter most!
P.S. The scorpion in the sucker is real. It was a gift from a Texan sister who went home a few transfers ago. It tasted like crickets...which taste funny. :) The G. family is going to conference this weekend in Salt Lake and offered to take some things home for me, so I may take them up on it.
