Sorry its been a bit! Weve been on and off lockdown for elections this month. We are still waiting on the result, so we will see what happens in these next few weeks. But Im all safe, along with all the other missionaries.
We havent had much time to work, especially at night, so it has been hard to see a lot of our investigators. Many of our important investigators we can only see at night because they work. We spent a lot of time finding new investigators and visiting less actives during the day and praying each day that we get more time outisde at night to find our investigators.
The familia Tercero we hadnt seen in over two weeks just with everything that went on, but we got to see them last night. We spent a lot of time planning for them in our weekly planning, they needed something powerful. I offered to say a prayer to know what we should do to make them feel a powerful spirit. We delibertaed for a lot of time but we ended up reading a line from Preach My Gospel that said the most powerful thing we can share with people is our testimony, so that is what we decided to do. We left them a note during the week for them to read Alma 7, so we discussed that chapter and Hermana Gonzalez, Dennis, and I all bore our testimonies. I got pretty teary. They are so close! And we love them so much!
We had our zone conference two weeks ago and those always get me even more excited about missionary work. Our zone leaders gave a workshop where we analized Doctrine and Covernants 4. We started everying on our feet reciting the section. 18 missionaries citing that all together is something powerful. We ended up talking a lot about faith and knowledge, developing as much as we possibly can, and using the power of prawer to ask for the rest. Our zone is incredible, we have some really special missionaries in our mission.
And ILUMINA EL MUNDO!!!!! O sea LIGHT THE WORLD. The best thing that has ever happened to missionary work in central america. The church has set up different programs for the campaign in different parts of the world, and here we are supposed to have Family Home Evenings in houses of members with their nonmember friends the whole month of December leading up to Christmas. With us having to stay in our house we havent been able to have any, but we will have one every night starting tomorrow leading up to Christmas. And of course talking about the campaign and Christmas is an easy way to get a conversation started and teach people. We are loving it. Que sea este mundo lleno de luz!
And I am now 20 and 9 months old! All in one week! That is crazy to me, I still feel like one of the newbie missionaries, the time goes by so fast. Thanks to everyone that wrote me, love you all :)
