This week was really good. As a mission hemos empezado un ayuno. The purpose of this ayuno is to help the members in their work in the obra misional and to achieve our meta as a mission for 100 bautismales cada mes. How it has worked is cada compañerismo has a different day during the month to ayunar for this exact purpose. Honestly reading the scriptures and how Ammon y Aaron ayunaron to help the people where they were teaching. Elder Santiago and I have been working a lot with the members and their involvement in the obra misional. A scripture that I have shared with the members that I love is Alma 6:6. It says: 6. No obstante, se mandó a los hijos de Dios que se congrega ran frecuentemente, y se unier an en ayuno y ferviente oració n por el bien de las almas de aquellos que no conocían a Dio s.
I love this scripture because it talks about the prayer and fast that the members can do to help others know about this Gospel. Us as misioneros we are striving and trying to help the members in their work and our work. Ever since empezamos nuestro ayuno I have definitely seen the blessings in the work. It says in the scriptures that the ayuno is something extra that we can do to show our seriousness and our desire for the things to happen. The blessings that I have seen from this ayuno have been awesome! The members are starting to work a little bit more than they did before and this Sunday we had 9 investigadores en la capilla!!!! I was so excited to see all the investigators there and stand back during la sacramental and count the asistencia and see that the ward family looked a lot more lleno and a lot better with few chairs that didn´t have people sitting in them. Honestly I am extremely grateful for this work and all the experiencias that I see aqui. I really am growing and have really seen the Lord´s hand in these peoples lives. Like the scriptures say that el mano de nuestro Padre Celestial is always extended towards us, we just need to reach out and grab it to have his help. The Lord is waiting for our prayers and wants to hear how we are doing but we need to reach out to him first! There are people that are looking for the hand of Heavenly Father in sus vidas. Que tan dispuestos somos para agarrar el mano de aquellas personas y ayudarles a sujetar el barra de hierra. When they have the oportunidad aprovechala! You are going to see the blessings in your life and if you are ever feeling down or something is to hard hacer un ayuno y ofrecer un oración. Nuestro Padre Celestial wants the best for each one of us in this vida. I am grateful for the oportunidad to help los demás aquí en Ciudad de México. De hecho the whole mission even the members in cada barrio y estaca are going to do an ayuno this Saturday-Sunday which I am really looking forward to!
This week was pretty good for the work we are finding bastante personas para enseñar. We are even starting to teach our vecino. It is so awesome to see all the people the Lord is preparing and the way that he is preparing them to find us. We are teaching one family that has fechas but they need to casarse first which is super frustrating here in the mission because there are lots of people that want to get baptized but they have to get married first. It is extremely hard that is for sure but we are praying for them and that they can get married fast! We also found a niño this week that wants to get baptized! He is 9 years old and went to the capilla en Domingo and loved it! It was so awesome to see his desire and another good part is he is activando a su mama tambien jajjaa. Looking forward to this week and seeing all the blessings that come!
Today for Pday we went to Parque Pueblo to play basketball with a bunch of other misioneros! Making some good friends here and really enjoying the mision! Hope all is well back home and sorry but I only have one pic for this week.
