Hey everyone! I hope that you guys are doing well! This week was really good. On Tuesday I did divisions with Elder Clark the zone leader and they went great. There is a book called Member Missionary Work and we tried the tracting tips that it gives there. What we did is we said a prayer, then both Clark and I would pick 5 streets each and not tell each other what we picked. Then when we were ready we would see what streets we each picked and we had one street similiar to contact. So we contacted this one street that is huge for an hour and found 8 news and they all seemed really interested in learning more. Something that helps me a lot in the week is knowing that the Lord always has someone prepared for us as members and missionaries, it is our job to find them. Missionary work is hard without the members help as well. I have learned to notice that. The best investigators that we get are usually references from the members. It was so cool to work with Elder Clark that day and then that night we played some Monopoly with Elder Boynton and Salazar as well. I love when we do divisions!
Also this week we had a zone attack like we do every week but this one was awesome. A zone attack is when all missionaries in a zone meet in one area and contact that area. We have them every week. This week I went with Elder Boynton and we found this family of 7 that were so awesome!! We talked to them in the street for 30 min or so and it seemed like more and more of the family was coming out of the house to listen to us. I wish that this family lived in my area haha! It is alright it is all the Lord`s work but it was such a cool experience and the family had a good time listening to our broken Spanish haha. They were surprised though how much we have learned in a couple of months haha. The people here are so humble and loving.
So we did not have any baptisms this week, I know that is probably what you think after reading the subject but we do have one this Sunday the 19th and another the following Saturday the 25th! Oh I am so excited. Our district is actually doing a noche blanca which is where there are going to be a total of 7 baptisms between the district. We can not participate in it because the two investigators that are ready for baptism can not make it so we are going to baptize Jaquelin this Sunday and Domitilia next Saturday! We put another baptismal date this week and have two others that are ready for baptism but they need to be married so we pushed there date back to December. This work is so awesome!
My Spanish is getting there, it is very diffiicult to learn a different language but I am going to be so grateful when I can communicate good hopefully soon! Today for Pday was so fun, there is a huge park in the area called Parque so Ayala and I went to that today. It has like 4 full court basketball hoops and a big turf field for soccer. There were missionaries from all over the mission there. We played games for like 3 hours, I had so much fun. There are some cool missionaries in this mission and I know that the mission is going to be a blast. I just want the Spanish to come because it will be even more fun! I also finished the Book of Mormon this week and want to read it in Spanish now! The Book of Mormon is truly the Word of God! Everytime I read it, I learn more and feel comfort when I read it. There are so many examples that we can look up to in the Book Of Mormon. Well that is it for this week, I will have pictures of the baptism this week for next week`s email. I am so excited! Have a great week!
