What a week this one.
Definitely a good week. To start things off strong I got the
package!! Haven`t opened it yet but I will as soon as we get home. But don`t
worry I think I might save the presents until Christmas. Also I got a package
from Aunt Angie and Uncle Byron! So Thanks a TON to everyone and hope the whole
family has an awesome Christmas.
As the area goes we had a very good week. We were able to
put 5 baptismal dates! Most of them look very positive and so we should have a
good end of the year. Rafiel was able to go to church yesterday and has finally
decided 100% that he wants to be baptized. The same day he`s going to do it we
have to have a wedding and two more baptisms. This area has just randomly
started to be very successful. To bad within 3 weeks I should be leaving....Oh
well I`ll go where the Lord needs me.
We`ve also been starting to have a lot
more success working with the Members and using their houses to have lessons.
The stat says that 2/3 people taught in the house of a member are baptized. 4
out of the 6 baptismal dates we have we teach in the house of a member and
we`re working hard so we can get all 6. One of our baptismal dates is the
Father in Law of the Bishop who isn`t a member. He`s always ahd drinking and
smoking problems but he has been going to church and we finally got him to
accept a baptismal date. On Friday we woke up early to wake up the Bishop with
fireworks (because that`s what they do here on people`s birthday). A bunch of
people from the ward were there which was funny but the Father in Law (Oscar)
found us out of everyone at 5 in the morning sat us down and took out his
Gospel Principles book to ask us questions. He had it all marked up and
everything which was cool and I think he`s excited to be baptized.
So yeah that`s what happened this week. Here it still
doesn`t look like Christmas cause of course there is no snow. But it is nice
cause everyone has really little fake trees up so it helps a little bit. You
guys should send another package really fast full of snow. I would love that.
Cause I mean come on there`s plenty there you guys can share a little bit.
Ok that`s my time. Hope you guys have a good week. Oh and by
the way Elder Butler says hi. He was just sitting behind me and wanted me to
say that. Merry Christmas and enjoy your Christmas. I shall talk to you guys
soon.
Adios.
