Hi Family,
Love,
As you can see from the title line, we went to the temple this week with
our branch. As missionaries we got to help as witnesses and to help with
confirmations. It was pretty cool. The best part for me and the most special was
that Luis David came. He got to participate in vicarious baptisms and that was
pretty awesome! It is truly a miracle that I got to see this day and I hope and
pray to help other investigators get baptized and go to the temple, because we
all know that is the real goal. Temple attendance! I am very grateful for that
opportunity!
Yesterday we had all of the Pimentel family but the mom because she was
busy in the house. We talked about marriage with them and they said that they
still need to talk about it as a couple. They want to be baptized but the
marriage is the big thing. They also need to stop drinking coffee. We pray that
they can get to the 13th of December but we will see. I am very grateful for
them as a family to work with. They are reading (the dad mostly) and the kids
are enjoying it they said.
At the temple store we bought them a bible and a triplet so that they can
have them to study from. I pray that they will make the decision to get married.
We need to find out the prices and such to see how much it will cost them.
We are also working with a less active named Angel and the lesson we had
with him was super great. Very spiritual and he said that he could feel our love
for him and the Lord´s love for him. He didn´t come on Sunday sadly but we are
still working with him so he can get his life back on track!
I got the photos from Am and a letter from Dad. Thanks a million for
that!
On Sunday I gave the lesson for the investigators and I gave a talk. The
attendance with our investigators was really low. We are trying to do our best
with helping the branch.
Last Wednesday we had a meeting in the capital which went well. After that
we went with the Encarnacion Family and watched the Joseph Smith movie. I
believe they enjoyed it but sadly none of them came to church on Sunday and I
don´t think they will get to the 20th of December date. They don´t seem to be
putting in enough effort to get an answer.
We also shared the movie with the Pimentel family and that went great. Yes
so we watched the movie twice in a row. It was very good though and I love that
family. They are great! It was spiritual and that way the kids could get
involved as well.
Today we went to the capital and my comp bought some stuff. I didn´t really
want anything though I need to start thinking about cool souvenirs in a couple
months.
This week I have been a little sick with a cold (I think because I got wet
from the rain..) but we just keep going.
Awesome that Utah beat Stanford. Sounds like we are a great defensive team
this year!
The work this week was a little tough but we have an awesome activity
coming up on Saturday. It is called ¨A trip to Hawaii¨and we have been inviting
everyone. We are going to decorate the church on Friday and we pray that it will
turn out great! I will see if I can forward on the invitation that was
made.
Ah what else. Oh W o W is estirar which means to stretch. That is a good
one.
Oh my comp says hi to everyone BTW! Be safe to all. I hope the families and
extended families are all doing well! Lots of love to all!
Love,
Elder Chez Green
