Welp...72 weeks in the mission - pretty crazy how fast it went and I know the rest will go even faster !
Anyways, not too much that went on this past week. Honestly the work has slowed down quite a bit of these past couple of weeks, Elder Kemp and I have just been trying to find the people who will go to church and progress instead of just saying they can't or any other reason why. But we have also been able to find some pretty cool inactive families to go and visit and reactivate and of course there are kids in the family who aren't members so you already know where we're headed.
This week we also had acompañamientos from Elder Velasco who is AP right now. It was kind of weird to be with him since he was my trainer, so it was like seeing a very old friend but at the same time is a leader and someone who sets the example. It was very weird but cool to see him and be able to work with him for a day.
Not this past Monday but last Monday we found this señora named Maria Fernanda and we had a potente first contact but we soon figured out the Elders were also teaching her about 3 months ago and didn't seem that she had a lot of interest. The Tuesday right after she had received us and after we finished the lesson we asked if she had any questions and she asked why the missionaries had been passing by so many times by her house and didnt know if that was a sign from God to follow Him. We taught this past Saturday and we explained the importance of going to church and following Jesus Christ and always rembering Him. She also accepted to be baptized!!!
It's pretty cool because the Elders about 3 months before that taught her seemed to be pretty pushy on baptism and she didnt accept the invitación but a little time later she did!
Pretty cool to see if everyone from one of my areas or time I was there, there has always been someone ready to receive the Gospel in their lives!!
Miss yall
