I LOVE the weeks when we can see some good progress! Ricardo, came to church for his Second time yesterday and we was ready and waiting for us when we went by his house! He is WAY unlike the majority of the Chileans here! jaja And Natalia and her family are doing good as well! They said they were going to come to church this last week but THEY DIDNT! UGH!!! The members even went by to help them get there, but they had just woken up! ugh... thats life I guess! jaja
We also got a phone call this morning from a member who went and visited a less active family and set up a cita for tomorrow night so that we can go and help them. They are looking for a little more help and she wants (the mom) to return to the church. She has a daughter that has 14 and she is not a member. So we are excited to go and to share with them as well!!!
Miercoles (wednesday) we had a few different meetings and we also had interchanges. I was with Elder Hancock in his side of our ward and we hada great day! We talked with one lady in the street who said "I think that there are many ways to get to God." and I thought for a minute and Elder Hancock said "You believe that God is merciful and just, right? How can we all be judged according to the same conditions if we have different visions of these conditions? If different churches teach that some things are ok, but another church accepts it, how can their judgement be the same?" God truly has blessed us with the true and living church so that we KNOW how to prepare to meet God. His commandments and laws are guides to us so that we can be prepared for that day. So that we can have more liberty while we are here. I really liked how he explained the judgement to her, and it makes sense. We also hada NDH with a less active family who invited their friends over . We talked about "the proclamation to the family" and temples and it was AWESOME!!! Their friends gladly set up another cita with us and the spirit testified to everything that we taught! I loved it!!!
So I would like to make the same invitation to all of you. Think, and pray to know who YOU can invite over for a FHE. And then when you get it all planned, invite the missionaries! You can tell your friends as well that the missionaries will be there so there isnt any surprises, but you can do something SO simple to help your friends learn a little more, and fill the agendas of the missionaries, just as we were ALL invited to do in the general conference. What do you think? =D
Last night, we went and taught a young couple and talked about the same thing. They thought for a minute and felt impressed to invite a few different people over for a NDH, and they accepted to do it. They even felt more excited about the work as they took on their part in it all!! How cool is that?! Dont you want to feel more excited about the work? I LOVE this work!!
So thats how things went. I hope that everyone else had a good week as well! Just remember all your prayers and studies are so important. D&C 64:33-34. I love you all!!!
Elder Marvin
