So
to answer your guys question about what I am thankful, would surely be
for Prayer. About a month ago we had a pretty amazing experience thanks
to prayer. A month ago we were in exchanges with some other
missionaries while we were contacting people looking to teach new
investigators. We arrived to a neighborhood where we never really go to
and we decided to say a quick prayer to find someone and put a baptism
date with them. That was when we found Rodolfo, the man who was baptized
when he was 10 years old, the first thing we did was give him a book of Mormon. Recently it has been hard to find him, it turns out for the
last two weeks that Rodolfo was working a bit in a factory that he was
working in before he retired. Many people do this here, factory only
hire young people but they always need repairs and improvements for the
factory and so they called in Rodolfo. After two weeks without seeing
him we ran into him when we were passing by his house. We put an
appointment with him later that week and now he is done working for now.
In the time we haden´t seen him he has still been reading the book of Mormon and reading his pamphlets. We visited him this last Friday to
read lehi´s vision and invite him to church, We arrived 10 minutes early
and he had already entered the chapel and was waiting for us! You can
see his faith increasing as he´s reading the book of mormon. We have
also confirmed that he is a member, the mission offices looked up his
church records and yes! he is a member! I know i´m looking a bit too
ahead, but one day we hope he can go to the temple and do the work for
his diseased brothers and parents.
I´m
almost done with the book of Mormon as well! This week i´ll be starting
Moroni. This book is a strong testimony builder. Read it!
The
weather here has been very extreme! We´ll be sweating in the day in
short sleeve shirts and we´ll be putting on heavy jackets in the
afternoon. That means winter is coming! Starting on Friday.
the church will be starting a Christmas activity here in Mexico as well
with a new Christmas video. We´ll be getting more instructions but the
church has put advertisements on about 4 bus routes so everyone will see
the message.
Love you all! I´ll send pictures next week!
