HOLA TODO!
So this week was an interesting one for sure haha. To be honest, it was a really hard week. We straight up only have like maybe 6 lessons, and we just knocked doors a TON this week. Which isn't THAT thrilling. But it also POURED this past week. And the lightning and thunder here is CRAZY! It seriously shakes the whole apartment! So we were up a lot too these past couple of nights, just because the thunder sounds like the sky is tearing in HALF.
But on Saturday we went to the northern part of our area (Breckenridge) and we had a ton of success! We are teaching this one girl we met while trying to contact a referral, and her name is Constance! Her boyfriend was in town for the weekend (he lives in Lubbock) and we taught both of them and their 2 kids the restoration, and they LOVED it! And at the end he was like "Well can y'all send missionaries to me in Lubbock?" WHAT! haha who asks that?! So of course we are getting missionaries over there STAT. And we got to go see our 2 other investigators that night and Argemiro is progressing so much! The only thing that is holding him back from being baptized is smoking still. But he is cutting down this week to 6 cigarettes a day! So little steps and we'll get him there.
Also!!! Our investigator Michael Ryals came to church with his 2 kids and his kids LOVED church, so blessings all around for primary! haha but we also got to teach the young women this past sunday, well young WOMAN, there was only one yesterday, and we taught her about the priesthood. But we then ended the week with meeting with one of our potentials (Phillis) and we taught her the Plan of Salvation and she loved it! So WOO got a new investigator.
Something that kind of helped me this week though, was reading from Jesus the Christ. It helps you understand our savior Jesus Christ SO much more! I can honestly testify that I know that man is my Savior, and I wouldn't be out here in the middle of Eastland Texas if I couldn't bear that witness. Being a missionary is SO hard, but it's so rewarding in a ton of ways! I just can't believe it's June, time flies. But this gospel brings so much peace to people, I just wish more people could see that! So if you have missionaries in your ward, give them referrals, and rides to places, and go on splits with them, it honestly MAKES the missionary's day!!! I promise!!!!!
I LOVE Y'ALL MUCHO! thanks for all the prayers and updates. HAPPY JUNE!
