HOLA FAMILIA Y MIS AMIGOS!
OK so this week. Well everyone and their dog has the flu in Brownfield. So on Wednesday we had a member come down to help with some less actives, and everyone we went to go see was basically dying, so that was a little slow, and then I started feeling sick wednesday night, and ended up having the flu all until Sunday. So we were in a lot.. but we still got a ton done! Sadly though, our only investigator dropped us.... that was tough to hear, we had been teaching her since I got here, and she was coming to church and everything! But she said she prayed about it and didn't get the same answer we get :(((
BUT, we went contacting, and we found this man name Roy, and we shared a brief thought with him, and he invited us back! So we have a new investigator now haha. And we decided to start seeing this man named Mark, who we dropped awhile back, but we think he's ready. We had a great member present lesson with him on tuesday and the spirit was SO strong. So we invited him to church and he came and went to all the meetings, but after he wanted to discuss some "things" with us. So we all went over to a member's house for that, and he whipped out his bible and went OFF. So i kept finding scriptures for him and everything, and then I just started testifying, and my companion stopped me half way through and was like "Mark! Are you even listening? She's trying to testify but you can't stop looking for scriptures in the bible to contradict her!" Sooooo that was kind of awkard, but it's all good. So then at the end I told him "We can teach you and give you all the scriptures you want, but until you sit down, read the B.O.M, and pray, you're never going to know. So when you pray and know for yourself it's true, give us a call and we'll baptize you". and he started laughing, but then me and my comp at the same time said "we're serious". So I'm hoping he gets the memo lol.
I've done a lot of studying this past week from the Gordon B. Hinckley book, and I've learned a lot about faith. Faith leads to action. If we don't have faith, we don't act. We need to have faith that the Lord is going to do exactly what we intend, faith to repent, faith to find, faith for EVERYTHING. and lot's of studying on humility. That is a good topic if any of y'all have preach my gospel :) But thanks again for all the love and support, y'all are really the best.
CON MUCHO AMOR,
HERMANA NEILSON
