my branch has about 600 members but it was a record when 103 people were in church a ccouple weeks ago. reactivation is huge here...but the sad thing is it is mostly the job of the missionaries to reactivate because the number of active members is so small. they have a lot to worry about.
my showers and bathrooms are relatively normal smaller and the shower is
about the size of the downstairs but with a curtain that tries to eat you while
showering.
honestly i want you guys to see pictures but i hate how long it takes to
set it up and send them... but i will try. just for you...
then her letter began:
i don't know what my problem is but i dont want to talk about my
week.-..probably because i am sad because i really really really dont want my
companion to leave and everyone in the world wants to talk about it...please
remember...when a missionary is leaving...they normally do NOT want to leave and
it is a topic of sadness...and kinda makes us trunky aka when our mind is on our
home and not on the work....
but please forgive me i also forget you guys have no idea what is happening
over here....ok
D- he is a young man that we are teaching and had a baptism date but it
fell because he didnt attend church...so we prayed to see if we should quit
teaching him...spirit told both me and my companion the same answer...wait a
little bit.-..so we gave D the talk...you need to know for a fact if this
church is true and you need to know now. really blunt and to the point. and
asked him to give the closing prayer while all of us was kneeling...and as we
were leaving he was a little ....different more withdrawn than normal...but he
committed to pray if it was true...turns out he had received his answer and
committed to 7 december for baptism and to attend church with us !! so we went
to his house in the morning of church with french toast we had made so he
wouldnt have any excuse....and he SAID HE COULDNT GO TO CHURCH!! big
bummer...but he knows the gospel is true he knew that trials would come...now he
just needs to act...
but R- a mama is progressing spoothly i honestly have no idea why she
doesnt have a baptism date...but dont worry we are going to fix that...she
really is wonderful and totally gets it.
know that i love the mission and i love the holy ghost and my opportunity to
listen to it...we had a miracle the other day...we were contacting in the street
when i had a random thought to go to the opposite part of the area across the
street a ways...so we acted on it...and a while later we saw that the same
street we were at...a house caught on fire! scary right! god really protected
us...and hna gallardo was really worried for the family at the hose and the
people involved so we prayed for them and found out later no one was hurt :)
tender mercies siempre!
i love god and i love the work and i am so proud of your missionary efforts
i know that god will bless you with a miracle...it is a righteous
desire...simply be open to the whispers of the spirit. love ya lots read mosiah
