Hola Texs
Well this week was dope and frustrating all at the same time, as you know the mission life is.
We have a potential of baptizing 8 people this week on Saturday, it's just a matter of animating them.
Familia Cruz Peleaz, this is a family of 4 so they are a major focus. The thing with them is hermano Juan the father of the family is awesome but he likes to be real sure of his decisions but he had his interview last night with Elder Iglesias and looks like everything is cool for this Saturday. They were a little shaky this last week like I guess hermano Juan learned that any worthy member that holds the priesthood can baptize and I guess that bothered him a lot because in the catholic church only the high ups baptize but well in that lesson me and my comp were like inspired by the spirit like crazy and I asked him where the catholic priests got there authority and he didn't know (shocker). Then I asked him if he knew where I got my authority cuz he knew I could baptize and he also didn't know and well this will sound crazy but I suddenly remembered my priesthood linage.I literally haven't seen my card in years and i remembered it perfectly all the way back to Jesus Christ and well he was in SHOCK it was just awesome. Then later this week we had a noche de hogar with them and we shared a message about families and how well if they really want to be a family forever they had to not only get baptized but be sealed in the temple or at death will you part and well we went to there house like Friday or Saturday night and we found on there calendar a bunch of sticky notes with things written on them like read book of mormon , pray as a family , and don't complain when Elder Rosales comes ahahjaja!!! My favorite get baptized as a family and get sealed in temple as a family. Me and my comp were just in shock I'm actually trying to send you a photo but its not working oh well. We also go the fecha con luis 17 years old and jerry 19 years old but we are struggling to seal the deal with this investigator Diana, she is 28 her sister is a 19 and a recent convert and potential future missionary. Diana's mom Primitiva is 55 and also an investigator , we are focusing a lot on Diana cuz if she gets baptized Primitiva will kind of just follow . Diana is hard like insanely hard we were asking her how she felt about baptism and she was saying well I need to stop my costomes and my habits and we asked her if those were en contra las normas de la iglesia and she said no then we were like well if it weren't for those things would you be baptized ?She said yes but then later we learned that she wanted to get and answer to her prayers and she was telling us some experiences and we were like there like she was like at the point of saying yes baptize me and then her child of like 6 years started crying and fue el espiritu and we had to leave so we were mad about that. She gets home at like 9:30 every night and leaves for work at like 7 in the morning so the only time we have been able to visit her are fin de semanas so I told her were going to be passing by at 9:30 everynight just to verify her lectura and her prayers because she is reading but not praying cuz well to be honest president with her I feel like she knows the church is true she knows she needs to get baptized but she doesn't want to cuz we are telling her to so I feel like God just needs to tell her so that's what we are praying for and probably are going to be fasting for this week anyway well . Ok so well that's the letter I wrote papi erickson so well for u guys to know well this ward is just dope like we don't really even teach less actives or recent converts.Our ward mission leader is a returned missionary and well in our ward we have like 8 returned missionaries and like 10 people that are getting ready for a mission in a couple of months or in a year or two so basically what we did is we were like Bruno the ward missionaries name, dude we want to focus on baptism and all but we have like 30 plus recent converts and we can't visit them all so we created a program where a returnend missionary goes with a mini missionary or a someone preparing for a mission and teaches our recent converts so they are teaching all of our recent converts and we can just teach investigators and converts that really need our help and this program is sooo dope cuz look our retention of converts is like 90 percent most of the time which is just like the highest in the mission and we may baptize like 10 people this month and all so its dope . I really think that this is the way a ward should work cuz after all the purpose of a missionary is to baptize after all so well its awesome for us cuz we can just baptize like crazy and well the mini missionaries learn to teach and get real experience and the converts get the lessons a friend and invitations to activities and parties stuff that missionaries don't know about and well so everyone benefits its like the optimal way to work anyway well I am stoked about this week anyway love yall chow
