Moshia 1:6-7

hola familia!

Good solid week this week. Cristina came and was confirmed in church this
sunday. She said she had a very neat spiritual experience during the
confirmation. Liset wasn´t able to come becasue her son has been in the
hospital and she´s been taking care of him. But we´re going to find another
time to confirm her because this coming sunday is stake conference. But
she´s doing good still.

We be working a lot now with recent converts, but still in the middle of
all that, the Lord is good enough to bless us with more investigators that
progress. So sadly every last one of the investigators that we found during
finding week have decided to stop investigating. But as a direct
consequence from them, we have found other investigators that are lots of
potential. We have basically two main focuses right now: help our recent
converts progress and stay on track for the temple, and help these other
few investigators that we have been given progress.

One of the investigators that is in that catagory is Jose-Lin. He´s the
husband of a member and he´s super awesome! A really great person and I
don´t understand why he wasn´t baptized with his family three years ago. We
had a great lesson with him saturday and he commited to come to church and
to pray and ask God if he should be baptized. His wife was so greatful that
he came to church with her, in fact there were a lot of people that were
happy to see him there. I can feel the Lord working on him and preparing
his heart, and I have faith that he will make the decision to be baptized.
Please pray for Jose-Lin.

Interesting experience, yesterday we were out tracking and we saw a recent
convert and stopped and were talking with him. Out of nowhere a woman
approaches him and says "cousin! I´m so happy to see you!" and gives him
two besitos (kisses) on the cheek. She looks at us and says the exact same
thing and goes for the kiss, but she was rejected (she didn´t really like
that..) I ask the recent covert who she was and he told me that he had no
idea who it was and had never met her in his life! Something appeared to be
a little "different" about her because she was behaving very strangely. We
told her that we are missionaries for the church of Jesus Christ and she
said "oh so Mary doesn´t exist for you guys?" and then proceeded to
instruct us on how to do the Catholic cross, touching our forehead, chest
and stomach to show us how. After that she just walked away without saying
another word! It was odd. Why do all the crazy people flock to me?

So this week the plan is to get Jose-Lin and Anthony and Kimberly to
church. They have the most potential and could all be baptized this month.
Please keep them in your prayers! Also don´t forget to open the Book of
Mormon every day and read from it, even if it´s just one or two verses. The
difference in spiritual strength between an individual that reads daily
versus one who does not is staggering, and we see it every day in the
mission. I promise you, that life is just simply better, everything goes
better, and you just simply do well when you are reading daily from the
Book of Mormon. It´s powerful! So read it, "that ye may profit thereby". I
love you all so much! I hope you have a good week, and I hope to see some
progression out of these investigators. Loves!
