Well this week was good because we had a lot of really good lessons with our investigators.
Italo
still doesn´t have a desire to get baptized!!! He believes in
EVERYTHING, but he says that he just doesn´t want to get baptized.... We
taught him almost everyday this week and he just keeps becoming more
and more converted....
We
are helping a few less active families come back and it´s great to see
when they too progress, but sometimes it seems harder than even teaching
investigators.
Friday was the leadership
meeting. It was a greet meeting. I felt the spirit SOOO strong and it
made me want to be BETTER than I have ever been. I also got to bear my
farewell testimony and of course I cried!!!!! It made me think back
about all the experiences that I have had on my mission and think how
grateful I am for each person I have met here!!! All of my
investigators, recent converts, companions, members!!! EVERYONE!!!!
Saturday was an emotional day.. First an
investigator, who we have been trying to decide whether or not to cut,
CUT US!!!! It was wierd. He called at 7 am and told me that it was
better for him to stay far away from us because he said he was starting
to ``like`` me and he knew that it was not allowed. UGHHHHHH it made me
sad because I never did anything to make him like me.. I think its just
because he is so lonely and we actually cared about him and he felt the
spirit and confused the feelings. I don´t know..... I just hope that
Heavenly Father gives him humbling experiences that will help him accept
the gospel ASAP!!!!
Then at night we had an open
house at our chapel. It was good because 2 friends of a member came and
they really liked learning about the church, but me and my companion
tried really hard to get people from the street to come and see what it
was like, and NO ONE would... :( But one girl that we talked to came to
church the next day so that was AWESOME and we´re going to start
teaching her on tuesday!!! Woohoo.
These Last 4 weeks I just want to TRY my hardest and see MIRACLES!!!!!!
