Another good week here in La Ligua!! We had interviews this week with Presidente Kähnlein and they went quite well. When he asked me how long I had been here he said " I am not sure how much more time God has planned for you here in La Ligua, but keep going strong!!" jaja So we just hope I have at least a few more changes! ;) jeje
Lunes, we had a great night and after not finding a few people in their home, we went by an old investigator to see how they were coming along. As we opened the door, Jorge greeted us with a smile and let us in. I first noticed his couch and chairs were gone. I asked "did you sell everything?" as a joke and he replied "no, Joselyn left. and she took everything." *heart drops 5 stories* whoa. I was not expecting that. As we talked some more he was quite sad. We asked if he had read and he said he didnt have a book of mormon anymore, but he wanted one. So we gave him one and promised him that he could get things in order if he trusted in God. He aggreed and said " I want to change my life. I know that if I would have listened a while back I wouldnt be in this situation. I know that you guys have the truth and I want to start going to church every sunday. I want to completely change. If I can, I want to be baptized. I just can´t continue like this." WHOA!! it was a lesson that just left me completely speechless. Beforehand he wasnt all thatinterested but as we can see, sometimes the Lord sends trials for us to learn if we dont getthe first message to follow him. Although it is rough, we just have to trust in God because He KNOWS how we can be happy. Its amazing! I loved the spirit that we felt there with him.
Miercoles I had interchanges with Elder Lara. We had a good day full of citas (aptmts) and it was awesome! The only sad thing was that Elder Lara was a little sick and didnt feel the greatest! We still very clearly saw the help of our heavenly father in that day! It was awesome!!!
Viernes we had a baptismal interview in the morning with Felipe, and he passed!!! WHOO!!!!! We were excited for him! and then later in the day we had a surprise service of helping a man move his mom from her house. Then interviews with Presidente, and english classes in the night.Great day.
Saturday we had the baptism of Felipe and surprisingly, everything went well and there wasnt any major problems!!! Although, may I ask that ech of you reading this take time for the baptisms when they come! It is SO important that the person getting baptized AND THEIR FAMILY feel the love of the members who will be by their sides!! Its so important to make sure they know that they are not alone!!! So dont just think of it being a drag, give a little love! =D
And lastly on sunday we had the confirmations of Felipe and Isidora. We were quite happy! and to make things all better, Karen brought her sister and nieces with her! So they took up a whole pew and it was awesome! Then the new hermana in our ward helped Jennifer (karen´s sister) to her class, helped with the kids and it was just PERFECT!! That is what the members NEED to do. It made Jennifer feel so good! I loved it!!! Just a miracle day for the missionaries!!! jaja
So that was our calm week here. Cant complain one little bit, I just love the mission life!!! Its just great! ;P
Les quiero MUCHÍSIMO!!!
Elder Marvin =D
