Wow I am not sure where to start this week it was a busy one. Well this week went really well for us. We were able to put 3 fechas this week and the lessons we had with them were so awesome. Two investigadores we have had a tough time teaching them and it has been super hard to find them because they are always working but this week we had the oportunidad to teach them. I wasn´t sure what to teach them because we hadn´t seen them in like 2 weeks and I wasn´t even sure if they really cared to listen or not anymore. After a morning of comp study and planning for the day Elder Thompson and I because I did divisiones decided to read 2 Nefi 31 with them. I love the power of the Book of Mormon honestly, this week we have started the 90 days and I hope that some of you guys were able to start as well. We read about the baptism and the importance of it and it was so awesome! At the end of the leccion we put a fecha with each of them and I felt the Spirit so strong as they acepted these fechas. I love the Book of Mormon so much and thre more time I have in my mission the more I am loving using it in my work. It truly is the clave de nuestro religion and contains the plenitud del Evangelio! I am so grateful that I know about this book and its power and that I can share it with those around me!
This week was Youth Conference in the Estaca Ixtapaluca and Wednesday morning we all went to the Estaca for an actividad with the jóvenes. What we did is that each misionero had a comp that was a youth and we went out and contacted for like 3 or 4 hours. I was with a kid named Carlos and we went out and worked for a little while. I honestly loved the actividad so much because we showed the youth how the mission is and it was such an awesome experiencia. Carlos and I found this guys sitting all alone in the front of his yard and we decided to start to talk to him. We talked to him about 30 min as he started to cry and talk to us that his wife had passed away and he was alone and wanted to know where she was at. We started to talk to him about el Plan de Salvacion and read some scriptures from the Book of Mormon. We gave him a book of Mormon and he asked us to come back because he wanted to learn more and know more about what we believe in. The funniest part was that I was talking the whole time because the joven I was with was super scared and didn`t want to talk. I talked the whole lesson with him and when I looked over to Carlos to bare his testimony he just looked back at me scared as could be and didn`t want to respond jajaj. It made me laugh because I remember going out with the missionaries before the mission and being scared as well jajaj. I was so grateful for the actividad even though I looked like a lobster after because I got burnt so bad jajaja!
This week well Elder Diaz recieved his visa and we found out that he was going to go to the Republica Dominicana. De hecho he is leaving today and I received a new comp here in Volcanes. Honestly saying bye to Elder Diaz was tough especially because he is my first hijo en la mision and that we were starting to become such great friends. I am so grateful though for the oportunidad to meet Elder Diaz and to work with him for 3 weeks. I learned a lot from him and I am so grateful that he had the oportunidad to work with me for 3 weeks. My new compañero is Elder Flores, he is from Acapulco and is in my generacion. He came to the mission with me. I am looking forward to getting to know him better and working with him here in Volcanes. Yesterday in the capilla there was 85 people and that is the most that Volcanes has had in a long time. Even though we haven`t had much success like we would like to have with the investigadores we are having a lot of success in activating members that haven`t been to the church in a long time. I know that the Lord is watching over us and I love doing the work that we do as misioneros! I hope all is well!
