5.30.17

God Made, Jesus Saved, Texas Raised

HOLA TODO!

  Happy (late) Memorial Day!!!!!!! Our library was closed so we get to email today! This week was really amazing! We had 20 lessons from the entire week, and every one was straight fire! We are currently working with 17 investigators, and 8 of them have a baptismal date. We are trying our hardest though to get people to church! (If only people could know that their baptist church doesn't hold the same authority as our church). BUT we committed our investigator (Argemiro) to hand out pamphlets this past week, and he left one of them at the coffee shop! bahahaha he's really trying his best to live the word of wisdom ;) 
  
  We also did a TON of service this past week! We helped an elderly man clean out his pool (because it was filled with algae) and then we got to catch all the frogs that were left! It was so fun! And we also helped a lady along with like 17 other people move into her house! that was quite the experience.... 

  Something i've really learned about being a missionary this week, is we carry the message of the restored gospel of jesus christ UNTO people's hearts, not INTO people's hearts. It doesn't matter if the spirit is radiating like fire, if the person has a closed (not sincere) heart, they won't accept the message we share. Something I started studying though this past week is "Jesus the Christ", and it's helped me strenghten my relationship with the Savior Jesus Christ! So I recommend that book to all of y'all :))) 

  Well thanks for the emails/ updates/ prayers, I seriously love all of you so much and I can't believe I've been out 7 months! Crazy how time flies! Enjoy the beach and swimming, it got up to 109 here with 90 percent humidity, and i thought for a hot second my life might have ended. Gotta love TEXAS! 

LOVE YALL MUCHO!
