So, this week has been pretty good. We still haven't found any new investigators... But, we taught a few of the ones that we do have! On Wednesday, we taught Gustavo. He is kind of a crazy guy and loves to talk. We taught him the Restoration again, because we don't believe that he understands it. He always says he wants to come to church, but he never does... But, recently he started working with a member from the ward, and so hopefully the member will talk to him more about the church and stuff!
Thursday was good! We were going to teach Adriana with one of the members, Tony. Tony is super cool. He is the one that offered Gustavo work. He is like... 26 or 27? So, anyways, we were going to go teach her with Tony, but he arrived like, 30 minutes late. And we had another appointment to go to at 8. So, we went on splits! Woo! Elder Gneiting and ELder Thompson went and taught Javier and I went with Tony to teach Adriana. But, she was getting ready to leave for her daughter's birthday party :( so, Tony and I went knocking and contacting. It was pretty cool. I haven't been on splits since I was with Elder Josse! And Elder Gneiting and Elder Thompson taught Arturo, a friend of Javier that was there (he wasn't interested :( ) and then I came back and we all taught Javier! It was a cool day.
On Friday we taught Arturo! I don't think I have ever taught Arturo so frequently in my whole time here! Anyways, we watched the movie John Tanner with him. He really liked it. I don't remember if I told you this or not, but as an assignment for Arturo, we gave him the movie "Together Forever". When we went by on Friday, he said he had watched it with his wife and daughter FOUR TIMES. They watched it four times together and loved it! It was super cool. We also taught him yesterday about prophets and he understood it super well. He also said he hasn't gone in to work with his boss for like, a week. He is super set on finding another job so he can have more time to study and stuff. Arturo is so cool!
On Sunday we taught Adriana! I don't know how it worked out, because we were SUPER lucky to teach her. She usually starts work around 2 on Sundays and works all morning with her mom. But, she had asked for work off for the weekend. So, we were able to teach her! It was a super good lesson. We talked a lot of the authority that the church has and why we need to be baptized by someone that holds that authority. She had some questions about how we can know that this is the true church and where does it say that we need to have the authority. We had given her Moroni 10 to read the last time. We told her to read just 3-5 (the promise of Moroni) but she liked those verses so much that she read the whole entire chapter! She is awesome. We asked her if she wanted to know the truth and we told her about Moroni's promise again and she was like, "Yeah, I really want to know if this is true." She is prepared and will be baptized, she just has to pray about it and read. She cried when I told her I was leaving and said that it was a sign from God that we talked to her that day we met her. She had been wanting to learn more about the Bible and stuff. She had been learning with her Dad, but she never felt like she could apply it. Then we came and helped her out a ton! She says she always feels so good when we come by. I hope I will be able to go to her baptism! But, if I go to Del Mar, probably not :(
Other investigators.
Daniel. We haven't met with him for a long time... He is never home :( His mother-in-law has returned from the hospital back to home, so that's good.
Pablo. Nothing. :(
Familia Berdeja. Nothing. :(
Nothing has really happened with a lot of the investigators... Hopefully Elder Gneiting and his new companion can make something happen!
Well, I think that is it for this week! Pretty long email, which is good. I hope you have a wonderful week! I love you all!
Love, Elder Hunt
