Hola todos!!!
Okay this week was good. Sorry, I wish I had a lot more to say but for the
most part the weeks are similar here in Villa Obispo. We are doing well. Working
hard and seeing a few investigators progressing. The best are Rocio and her mom
now!! Amalia is her mom. She wasn't progressing as much before. She would always
say that she likes to listen but she is Evangelical, and for us not to get our
hopes up haha. But we kept teaching her and Rocio and they BOTH are reading the
Book of Mormon!! They are really loving it, and feeling their faith grow. They
are so great. Amalia is so sweet, Mom she reminds me a bit of you actually. :)
She always wants to feed us and do whatever she can to help, and we have to
keep telling her thank you so much but we really are fine haha. This last week,
when we invited Amalia to be baptized, she said she didn't know, and that she'd
have to be really sure. Which is super good, because the other times when we
invited her she said no. Just no, because she ''had her church.'' But she is
starting to understand that there really is only one church of Jesus Christ, and
although there are many good churches in the world there is only ONE of Jesus
Christ. And so she is starting to understand that and wants to know if this is
it. Yay!! Rocio already believes it is true, and wants to be baptized but she is
a little nervous I think. She wants to learn more and doesn't want to get
baptized very quickly. But they are great. The dad, Ariel, works out of town so
he hasn't been home very much lately. When he was home, he would listen and be
interested but didn't want to participate much. But he is a really nice guy.
Now, Amalia says that he wants to go to church too, when he gets back!! So he
has the desires to learn also. Yay! A family!!!
Another great investigator is Benjamin. He is so special. I think I
mentioned him before. We haven't been able to find him as much lately, but we
went back to his store and he was really happy to see us. We taught him and read
with him in the Book of Mormon. There is always such a special spirit there when
we teach him. He can feel it too. He says he feels it when he reads and learns,
and even more when we are there. He said that he believes we are messengers from
God, and that He speaks with us. That we have a really special Spirit. Ahhhh.
He's so cool!! We just need to get him to church, which might be harder because
he plays drums in a band that plays at lots of other churches. So that might be
a little harder, but he is so great and has great desires to learn.
Well, shoot, I am out of time. Sorry that my emails have been shorter
lately. Next week I will write more. And I am going to try to send pictures
right now!
I love you all SO much!! PS. We still haven't found a house, but Rosa just
told us right now that she wants us to just stay with her. Awww, she is so
sweet! She says she's gonna ask President if we can. :) I'm totally okay with
that. We like it here. And it's basically impossible to find a house in this
area for the price we need to pay in the mission, because it is such a nice
area.
Okay, gotta go. The church is true! Be happy!!!
