Well this week I think everyone remembers how Elder Bentley and I had kind of tough week last week with just finding nuevas personas para enseñar. This week we went in determined and we knew that el Señor was going to bless us. This week we kept going at it and kept contactando bastantes personas. This week we were walking to a cita and had contacted personas en la calle en el camino and we hadn´t found anyone that was interested so we told ourselves that we should just go straight to the cita but I felt the impresion tocar 2 doors more. We touched one door and they were busy and then the 2nd door and last one we were going to touch was where we saw the blessings. We touched and at first no one came out but we touched again and the funniest part about it was that the door was really small and I could see over it and basically see the whole house. As I look over to see if anyone is home I see this Señor and he looks at me and we made eye contact but in this moment I had a really good feeling so I started to talk to him without him even opening the door and I asked him if we could share a message with him. He opens the door and just invites in the house without even asking. We get to meet them and it is a family of 4 when we got in but we taught the parents basically La Restauracion and then we asked to come back another day. They invited us to come over on Saturday in the morning. The Hno told us that he was going to invite all his familia and his kids. We were so pumped for it all week and Saturday morning we did divisiones so I went with Elder Hales. We get to the cita and they all just sit down to listen to us and before I know it there were 12 people sitting around us waiting to listen to share a message 8 of which were over baptismal age. We taught El Plan de Salvacion and at the end we asked them if they wanted to live as a family together after this life. I felt the strongest prompting as I saw the whole family look at each other and answered with the most sincere yes. Elder Hales and I my comp at the time challenged them to baptism and they all acepted to work towards being baptized and working towards the Reino Celestial. I remember after all 8 of them said yes to be baptized I had the strongest and biggest smile on my face that I could not get rid of. I was so happy and one of them commented and asked me why I looked so happy. In that moment I felt so awesome and we were able to bring this family to church yesterday all 8 OF THEM!!! The Lord is so awesome and is always looking out for us!
This week we had a similiar experiencia that Elder Bentley got the prompting as we were walking to just enter a street and tocar the 3rd puerta. At first I was kind of doubting it because we were headed to una cita and we were already late but we went and did it and what do you know we find another family of 4 that had platicado con los misioneros antes and they let us in we taught them about the Restoration. The Lord truly blessed us this week as we found several people to teach and we are so excited to find more. Something that I have learned from all this is that we should never get up because we have no idea what the Lord has prepared for us. Always keep your head up and push forward putting your trust in the Lord.
Yesterday we watched a transmisión de Salt Lake and we listed to Elder Valenzuela speak along with Elder Rasband. It was so awesome, Something that really stuck out to me is now is the time to act and prepare ourselves. Something that really stuck out to me that really has helped me is that Elder Valenzuela said that if we are not preaching the Gospel than we are teaching people´s agency away. I love preaching and am so glad I chose to serve the Lord here in Mexico. I am enjoying my time here with Elder Bentley so much, there are changes next week and we really hope to stay together! Hope all is well and that you guys have a great week!
