Wow this week was awesome!!!!!!
Elder Pava and I are having the time of our lives right now. This week was really really awesome.
This week I have really noticed how many weaknesses I have. I am starting to understand the scripture Ether 12:27 a lot more. The Lord sent me Elder Pava to show me how much more room I have to improve as a missionary and as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We started the week off really well. We had a good lesson with Martina, and she is progressing nicely towards her baptismal date for this Saturday!!!!! She will be having the baptismal interview today and we are really excited for her!!!
Thursday was a crazy day. We started it off nicely with some interviews with President Kahnlein. My interview was really good, and I left feeling really happy and ready to work. I also realized more things that I need to improve as I talked with him. He is really an inspired man and servant of the Lord. He is so awesome!!! But we left from there and had a lesson with Andrés. Andrés still wasn´t sure about his answer–if he wanted to get baptized, but he is so awesome! He decided he wanted to fast, so we decided to fast with him. So he decided during this fast to go and hike a mountain and sit on the peak. Its not really a mountain, but a really really big hill I would say. But he hiked that on Friday morning with the Bible and the Book of Mormon. He sat there for about 3 hours comparing the two and praying to find out what he should do. He is so awesome!!!!!!!! He finally came down and we went and visited him. He said he still wasn´t sure, but that he had received a lot of answers to prayers up there on the mountain. We watched the Restoration with him and talked about the importance of baptism. He still has not given us an answer, but he will figure it out soon! I have never seen someone so motivated to follow Christ, and I love it!!!!!
Oh I forgot to mention that right before that lesson we had a lesson with some recent converts and their cousin who is not a member. We started to watch a video and I got really really sick. Haha I had to leave and go to the bathroom in the middle and I threw up everything in me and was in the bathroom forever haha. I don´t know what I ate, or how the video ended haha because I missed it. But my companion taught the lesson solo and he did really good I think haha. But that was a fun experience.
Anyway, Then we had another lesson that was even more way awesome because we taught a family!! They are way awesome! Jessica and her two daughters Brittany and Mia and then two sister in laws named Karin and Carol. They said they would read the Book of Mormon and pray and come to church, so we were really happy.
The next day we went back to their house with a married couple who are members and watched the Restoration with them. They got really excited to come to church and said they would.
And yesterday they came!!!!! We had that family and Andres come to church and the meetings were all so awesome! They all felt the Spirit and I have just been so happy ever since!!! I can´t wait to go visit them today! I will be sure to let you know next week when they are going to get baptized because they sure will!! Anyway, I am just really happy and content right now. That's pretty much what happened in my week and I am very very grateful for the blessing of the gospel in my life. I love you tons!!
