New companion, same area! Hola! Well last week was a
little different with all the companions that I had, but everything
worked out and now I have a new companion named Elder May de Yucatan,
Merida! He is a good Elder, and he is energetic and lots of fun, a lot
of Elders left the zone, and many new faces arrived. We are excited to
start a new change and get things rolling. This past sunday, we had 5
investigatores in church and we will be having a baptism of three this
sunday! We are super excited. Sonia, Samantha and Alejandro will be
going to be baptized. Its cool because its three generations, Sonia is
the grandma, Samantha is the daughter, and Alejandro is the grandson.
The Hermana Sonia was a reference from a member that sent us to her.
About 5 weeks ago, we kneeled down said a prayer and we invited this
member to think of someone who we could share our message with, it was a
saturday before fast sunday, so we invited her to do it as a part of
her fast and it was a miracle what occured. We went back 4 days later
and sent us to Sonia, another daughter answered the door and told us to
come back the next day, so we did, I went back with someone else from
the ward and we sang a hymn and asked Sonia some questions to get to
know her and found out that her daughter, Samantha was in Rehab, she had
been in for about 7 months, and she expressed her love for her daughter
and cried. I talked about baptism, and she accepted the invitation. We
promised that God was going to bless her and we set another date to come
back, we went back, taught a lesson, and invited her to church, the
first week she couldnt, but she said she would the next week. So she
came to church, and when we went back after the week she had gone to
church, she recieved news that her daughter was going to return home!!!
It was sooo cool. She was crying and was so grateful. So Samantha has
been home for about 3 weeks, and we met her when she had about 3 days in
her house, we talked about the Restauration and she cried during the
whole lesson. She said upon entereing rehab, she was Atheist, and didnt
want anything with religion, but with more and more time she prayed and
wanted a sign from God. Over the period of 7 months, her testimony of
prayer grew more and more, until her mom and told her that we had been
coming by and she at first, didnt want to meet us, but she said that it
was the will of God, and we met her and she knew we had been sent to
meet her and to meet her mom. Ah man its soo awesome everything. The
Lord prepares his people to recieve us. Samantha has been to church
twice and her mom 4 times, and they will be baptized this sunday with
Alejandro! We are so excited for them, they are excellent people and I
love them,. They recognize us as Representatives of Jesus Christ, and
every lesson with them we feel the spirit. I am grateful for them! Oh
and Joel is doing wondeful, he came again, and is excited to recieve the
priesthood. We started to teach his nephew, and he came to church
yesterday! yay!! I am in a great area, and I am an awesome comp. I hope
everything is going well with you all! love all of you!!
