Not a super exciting/eventful week this week, but we had a few of our investigators and less actives in church. Including Maria, Carlos's wife. She came with her daughter that is 3 and can't walk. Carlos was supposed to come too, but something came up and he couldn't come. But we are expecting them to both come tomorrow! So pray that they do! I really love them a lot. They are super humble people and are really willing to accept the gospel I think. We have already seen a change in them so I am just praying they stay strong and have the faith they need to keep progressing towards baptism. We will put a date for them tonight when we go back and teach them!
Training
Elder Reeves in my position is going really well. We are great pals! We
are loving talking track with each other and are staying strong running
in the mornings!
Today we
are going to Los Cocos because the old mission leader of me and Elder
Gonzalez wants us to go help them with a thing called a "Cosecha" which
is basically when the whole ward gets together and goes and talks to
everyone and try to find people interested in the gospel or who need
our help. So it should be fun and a cool experience.
Next
week we will be super busy and have to travel to the area farthest away
in the mission called Dajabon. We will also be going to a couple other
areas/zones on the way so I will end up going to 3 of the 4 places in my
whole mission that I have never been to. So that'll be pretty cool.
Exciting
news on Teobaldo, we went to his house the other day and he has gotten
so much better! Before, he was hardly able to walk, but he basically
floated to the door to greet us! So we are expecting him to start
progressing again a ton like he was before. He said he can't come to
church this Sunday, but that next Sunday he would come. So pray for him
as well!
So we have to
stop teaching Jacob because everyone we come in contact with in that
area tells us that it is dangerous to talk with him and that he is not
actually meeting with us because he is interested. A couple of people
in that area have told us they will be angry with us if we keep talking
with him. I don't really see a problem with him but apparently he is bad
news and is a drug dealer, but who am I or anyone to judge? So we kept
teaching him a bit, but he isn't progressing so we have stopped.
Shout
out to Kaylie Maingot, my super awesome cousin for choosing the best
choice in the world and going on a mission! Good luck on your farewell
this Sunday! You're gonna kill it in Portugal!
Happy Valentine's day! I hope you all have a more romantic day than mine will be ;) hahaha.
