This past week has been sweet! We have set two new fechas! WOO! We have taught some sweet lessons too. Lots of milagros!
So, Wednesday we had a sweet zone meeting on how we can do invites better to the investigators so that they are more willing to accept them and change. It was a sweet meeting and I learned a lot from it. We really used the things we had learned and I think that is one of the main reasons we have had so much success this past week. We also had a new family move into our area last week, so we went to go and visit them. They are so cool! It's a husband and wife and their 19 year old daughter. They are super missionary focused. The first day we meet her last week, she asked us for a BOM so that she could give it to a friend that had asked for one. So cool! When they lived down in Mexico, their ward was so missionary focused that they continually had 100+ baptisms A MONTH. Crazy! Hopefully we can get them to start helping our ward and get some more baptisms! The last baptism in this ward was in December last year... But, we have lots of potentials this month and the next!
Thursday was sweet. We had 3 lessons! THREE! That's so many! In one night! Remember la familia Berdeja? Elder Hansen and I taught them a few times. Well, the dad contracted shingles and we weren't able to visit them for like, a month. Then he went to Washington for work for a few weeks. Finally we were able to meet with them! We had a SWEET lesson on prophets and how we need them in our day. They were like, "Yeah, prophets are necessary for us!" Then we explained General Conference to them and they were so excited to come! They didn't come and watch it with us... But, they probably watched it at home! The "wife" was super interested too, which was awesome because she's never been that interested before.
Then we had a lesson with Noe! We have been teaching him since Elder Hansen. He is a really nice guy, but has a few problems accepting that Joseph Smith was a prophet. But, he is cool. We taught him a little about the plan of salvation and our purpose here in life.
Then we had a lesson with Adriana! That lesson wasn't super good (but it turned out to be okay because we had a lesson with her the next day). Her dad was there and he likes to talk a lot... Plus she had just returned back from Mexico recently and she was telling us a lot about the stuff she did there. We didn't teach a whole lot, but we set a good foundation for the next lesson!
Then Friday! Super sweet lesson with Adriana. Her two little girls were there, so it was difficult sometimes to teach, but it was sweet. We had told her the day before we were going to watch the movie of The Restoration, so we watched that. Upon finishing it, we were talking about it and she said there is no way someone could have made it all up and it has to be true! We were so excited when she said that! Then we explained to her about the BOM and that it is the evidence of that Jose Smith was a prophet. We read the story of Christ being baptized in 2 Nefi 31 and then asked her to be baptized and she said yes! We set a date for the 4 of mayo. She said she wanted to learn more first, but then we told her we would help and she is so excited to be baptized! Then we watched Elder Holland's Mormon Message about the BOM to introduce her to what conferencia general would be like, and she loved it! She didn't end up coming to Conference with us because she had to work :( But, she said she would watch it later! It's awesome.
Saturday and Sunday were AWESOME. Conference is the best! They had some super good talks and some really funny ones. I love Conference. I only have one more as a missionary... Time is going too fast!
Yesterday we had 3 lessons again! Not all at night, 2 during the day and one at night, but it was sweet! We taught Daniel about the 10 commandments. The Catholic Church doesn't really teach those to their members... Daniel didn't know anything about them. But, we had a focus on Sabbath Day, and it was a sweet lesson. Then we had a lesson with Gustavo! We taught him about 2 weeks ago, but he has been super difficult to contact. He is from Colombia and is super super hard to understand sometimes. But, we get by :) The first lesson we had with him was just a basic overview of everything. HE likes to talk. When living in Colombia, there was a church right in front of his house! But, he never went..........................
Transfers: Elder Farnsworth is leaving. Elder Nelson is staying. Elder Thompson is staying. I am staying.
Haha Elder Farnsworth is Mr Mom around here. He cooks so much! But, he is leaving now :( Maybe I will become Mr Mom! Quien sabe?
Not much seafood... We had shrimp the other week, but I hate shrimp. I wanted to throw up...
Well, lots of sweet miracles this week. Hopefully this week will be filled with more! Have a wonderful week!
Love, Elder Hunt
