Familia!!!
Hola!! How's the best family in the world doing??
Hope life is treating everyone well. Happy Memorial Day!:)
This week has been a great one! I'm trying to
think of the things that happened... but my brain is a mess right now because
this morning we got a call from President and he told us that due to an
emergency transfer, we will be getting another companion... so we'll be in a
trio with another sister, Hermana Mireles. So the next few weeks of this
transfer will be very interesting:)
Sister W was companions with her at the beginning of her mission and has
some interesting stories about her.
Speaking of Sister W, I just gotta tell you how
much I love my companion. She is awesome. One of the humblest, nicest, coolest,
chillest, most hard-working missionaries I've ever met! Within the past 5
weeks, I've laughed more than I have in a long while and learned a lot about
being more Christ-like. She is awesome.
Anyways, this week was great! We taught a
lot and really strove for exact obedience. We found two new investigators, and
soft-committed them to be baptized! Jose y Juan. They’re two pretty cool guys
that we found while trying to find another investigator, and we asked them if
they would be willing to listen to our brief message. They told us sure and we
sat down and introduced the Book of Mormon to them with the "How to begin
teaching" points (PMG). It was one of the simplest, most straight-forward
lessons we've ever taught. Since being out on my mission, I've been discovering
the value of teaching the pure doctrine of Christ. I've realized how important
it is that as missionaries we focus on always relating what we are teaching
back to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the pure doctrine found within: Faith in
Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and
enduring to the end. That knowledge and understanding of the Gospel is what is
necessary for people to know, not a lot of the fluff that comes out of my mouth
occasionally during lessons, English and Spanish alike:)
Challenge for this week: read 2 Nephi 31 to better understand
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'll do it too. I promise that with understanding
the Gospel and it's pure doctrine more, we will have a greater capacity to
share it with our friends, and by doing so, they will be given the path to
eternal life.
I'm sure I'll have more stories for you next
week... we're picking Hermana Mireles up today so we're in for a treat! Haha
LES QUIERO, FAMILIA!!
