I hope you all enjoyed General Conference. I am
excited to see it but will have to wait until Saturday and Sunday of
this week.
This week we had some good success with
finding. It's easy to find people to teach, but that doesn't always
mean those people will progress. This week we found people that really
seem 'elect'. We had one investigator ask 'Do
you guys meet somewhere?' 'Where is it, can I come?' Well yes, yes
you can. We found another less active that we met Saturday and she
showed up on Sunday Morning with her whole family. We found another
investigator who said I'll just go to church with
my neighbor (less active). Then the Investigator took the entire less
active family to church. Our other investigator not only went to church
but also took the initiative to go to the ward activities that we told
him about. All these people are just showing
up in one week.
We also taught this one old man named Oscar
again. After the first lesson with Oscar I didn't think we'd ever go
back, he told us he would never come to church and would never pray, but
one day we ended up with no appointment and
near his house so we dropped by to teach him again. Surprisingly he
let us in, and he understood very well. We told him that the book of
Mormon has the account of Jesus in the America's he said well of course
they would write about it if Jesus came. At the
end of the lesson he even prayed, and further he agreed to pray about
the Book of Mormon. Elder Sagayno said 'well maybe he forgot about
never praying'. We had another less active named Bobby who is really
shy and doesn't want to pray. Last week we put
him on our schedule as a back up plan because he is always gone, so
even though we told him we'd be coming we didn't make it. This week we
dropped by and taught him, we was concerned that we were mad at him
because he didn't pray in our last lesson and then
didn't come. Oh he is such a sweet innocent and childlike person in
all the best ways. We assured him we were very much not mad and
expressed our love for him, and then he even prayed at the end. I think
he prayed because he wants us to keep coming back.
He is a very sweet man.
