We had a family home evening at a members house and played games where everytime we lost we got covered in lipstick! crazy but that is just the way the cookie crumbles here. just laughing at each other
I dont know if you guys remember our investigator who was muslim and then we taught him and then hes not really muslim anymore and his family are members. we visited him and he is still pretty scared to progress or make any next steps but we are planning on getting him to read the Book of Mormon. he actually enjoys us coming over and asked where we were last week so thats a good sign! We taught Jyyyyyy agian and had taught about faith and repentance again and we had a good lesson. the problem is, is that she is not following our invitations so she is not making much progress, it is sad because she keeps getting her baptismal date delayed and she is going to be serving abroad.
We are trying to get more member referrals so we talked with Sister Byyyoliche, she is a recent return back from being less active and has a strong testimony so we challenged her to do missionary work and with her neighbors we talked to and we actually had a good family home evening with them! They are bxxxxxenito and Ryyyyyosa myyyyae. bxxxxenito is shy but Ryyyyosa mae was very open about how she has tried so many religions and felt they were lacking something but still hasnt tried our church. We shared an object lesson about the atonement and invited to church and they came! Elder arandia and i were so happy! We also met this one lady Dyyyyel who is iglesia ni cristo. we really tried to gain her trust and we ended up giving her a book of mormon and things to read in there about Christ! we visited them yesterday and her husband was there and was at first almost hesitant or not too interested but then invited us over as i didnt try to share everything with him but listened to him and was guiding to know how to help him by the Spirit. Her husband's name is Exxxxxfrin and is catholic but doesnt go to church.
We had a zone conference this week that talked a lot about the Spirit and recognizing and following the Spirit! it definitely inspired me to do everything i can to better follow the Spirit and listen to the voice of the Lord speak to me. especially as i notice that i continually need his love and guidance in my life.
Our investigators Jyyyyyana, Jxxxxxr and Kyyyyyyim who have baptismal dates are getting closer and closer to coming unto Christ. Last sunday they came to church for the first time dressed up and they also came with two other members of their family who have great potential also to be baptized. They are Nyyyyica and Jxxxxxeff, according to Sister Dyyye Lyyyyyeon (their member friend) they have not been drinking since they met us and it is so wonderful to see the changes they are all making. Jyyyyana Jxxxxr and Kyyyyim have been reading the Book of Mormon and seem to enjoy more reading from it. JxxxxR has also been talking about how he wants to serve a mission and just thinking about it fills me with so much happiness knowing what great things are in store for them. The Lord really does have his hand in this work and i know that if you all as members support and reach out to your friends and share them the Gospel that there will be more converting and coming unto Christ and you will be blessed because of your efforts to serve the Lord.
i love you all and say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
