Week 38: Soaked & God wants to help us!

It's raining a lot!!!
Group 4-25-2017

Well this week was something else!  It was pretty fast and fun. Let me
just say I felt like I am at home because it rained every day this
week and I got soaked pretty much every day. Monday was fine because
we played basketball indoors then went and bought food at Price Mart.
That night was pretty chill too because we visited a recent convert and
a cool investigator.

Wednesday we had splits with some other Elders. I went with Elder
Gonzales from Panama. We had a good time and had some good
appointments. We are talking with members a lot because they know the
people here a lot better. I encourage all the members who read this
to think of your friends and which one do you want to receive the same
happiness you do, and invite them to a church activity or church.

We have a investigator who is doing really well! She says she can
feel the happiness from repentance and feels ready for baptism! She
will be baptized this coming week on the 6th of May. Something I have
seen a lot here on the mission is how hard the devil tries to tempt the
people we teach once we start talking to them. That is the hardest
part because the devil knows our weaknesses and he has this country
pretty darn good. I know a lot young girls here that have had kids as
early as 11 years old. That is why we stress the importance of prayer
so much because God wants to help us and all we have to do is ask.

 We have also been teaching a less active for about 2 weeks now. We
got his trust and he told us that when he was baptized he didn´t feel
anything because didn´t really understand the things and felt
pressured. We have been sharing repentance and the role of the Book of
Mormon and it has been going really well. The reason why he didn´t go to
church was because he didn´t know if it was true and didn´t have the
desire. He finally came to the church for the first time since his
baptism this week! He said he doesn’t want to miss again! Super cool
to see and hear that.

Oh another cool thing that happened is we are getting the girls we
are going to baptize to sign up for what is called ¨SOY¨ here but it is
basically EFY. It is in July but she is signed up for it and went to a
kick off for it on Saturday.

It was an alright week but pretty wet. My jacket worked but my legs
got pretty dang wet. It is still raining right now but tomorrow should
be fine. Thanks for everything!
