This was an excellent week.
Mateo got baptized this past weekend! It was a really awesome
experience to be there and to see how strong he was feeling the
spirit. It was really great to be able to see him grow and change so
much. I got to, and will continue to, learn a lot from him. We had a
really great lesson with him on Wednesday with our Ward mission
leader. The spirit was really strong and afterwards, Mateo was
determined to leave alcohol and get baptized. It's been a,axing to see
the change in him as he has applied the gospel of Jesus Christ in his
life It was really cool because his family came as well! Hopefully
they were receptive to the spirit and will be more open to us visiting
them this week.
Other than that, we had a pretty good week as well. We found a less
active kid (17 years old) that moved into our Ward about 6 months ago.
He's a good kid, but has some problems with certain commandments, so
we are trying to start him up again. He is the only member of his
family, but his mom is really prepared! She has a testimony of the
Book of Mormon and is really prepared to come closer to God. The only
problem, is she has a lot of work, including on Sunday's. But
nevertheless, we are pretty excited to work with her.
Then we had another lesson with a new investigator who is Randy's
neighbor (the Guatemalan guy that moved in recently). That was crazy
he had A LOT of questions. We were there for like two hours and didn't
end up getting home til like 10:40. We kept trying to cut it, but he
had a lot to say. He has a lot of potential to, just gotta see if he
will keep his commitments. It's cool, because he read and investigated
the mormon.org website we gave him and he is a pretty sharp dude.
Lupita is also doing pretty well, she is slowly and steadily
progressing for baptism in April. So overall. Things are great! Love
you all!
