This week was a good week. We are teaching a family named
The Sarco family. They are super great. Elder Contreras and i found them
looking for members and getting to know the ward a little more. We used the
directory and found this member named Jennifer. the members told us that it is
a partial member family and that her parents are not members so we were like ya
alright lets go. Maximo is the dad he is a super humble guy his wife is
named Rocio. Maximo is a little shy but Rocio is not too bad. They
are super loving grandparents. Rocio goes to church quiet a bit. they knew the
church a long time ago but they never got baptised cause they a not married and
they were married before to other people but they were never divorced so
legally if they want to be married they have to divorce and then get married.
But it takes a while if the divorce is not mutual. So they are both
working really hard with a ward member that is a lawyer. I really want
them to be baptised the 15th of April. (dads birthday) I know they can do
it!! Brother Sarco attended the church for the first time. He said he has
attended a baptism but never the church. We works so hard. We even
woke up earlier to eat breakfast with them and then we headed to church.
Also 2 weeks ago a bulgarian canadian came to
church. He grew up in the orthadox church in bulgaria then this family
moved to Canada. and he says his mom taught him a lot about God. But then
he said that he later stopped going to church. We teach him in English
because he doesnt know Spanish. Its pretty fun this is the first time i've
taught in English. In church too i have to translate everything. He is a
really bright kid. we taught him the restauracion and he really liked and
surprisingly knew a lot about it. It seem logical to him that all the other churches
talk about God and partially have the truth but none have authority because it
was lost when the last apostles died.
my companion is not Elder Contreras any more. my companion is
Elder Hernandez. He is from Bogota Colombia!! he has a colombian accent like
bad everyone here knows hes from Bogota just by the way he speaks. its so
funny. anyway this happened 2 weeks ago its just its been busy so i
have not written much sorry.
I had some interchanges this week. i did one with Elder
Acarapi on tuesday and Elder Hidalgo on Thursday. It was fun to do interchanges
with my old companions, because you can see the different attributes that they
have picked up over time with other companions. Also Elder Contreras ends the
mission in 4 weeks. He is really trying to finish strong. We still
live in the same house. the house is made for 4 missionaries but we are
cramming 6 haha its pretty tough haha.
well family i love you so much i know you pray for me i
think about it everyday. Thanks to you guys i know that this church is true im
so glad God decided to put me in a family that supports my decision to serve the
lord.
