Dear Family
Elder Velasquez and I had a
solid past seven days. This week, we made it a point to search for new
investigators and we've been blessed with some fruit! Tuesday
morning we were contacting near the new cemetery (there are two here)
and we found Hector. He is a middle aged Hermano who received the
missionary discussions two or three years ago. He likes pancakes,(Ford's favorite breakfast is pancakes, I would fix MUCHO and then he would eat them as snacks for a couple of days! :) so we had a pretty
great first conversation. He stopped progressing because the two
missionaries both got transferred. He told us how much he and his wife
loved the missionaries and invited us to come teach him! It´s awesome
finding someone whose life has been touched by the gospel through the
love of two missionaries. It reminded me of a sticky note I found in
Boca Chica, my first area. It says, "they may not remember all you say,
but they will never forget how you made them feel." That´s more or less
what it says, but it’s true! Hector may not have accepted the gospel
then, but his heart was touched by these two missionaries!
We think we're gonna have to drop Sambel. He hasn't attended church the past two weeks and he´s almost never home.
We are also working with our
investigator Sami. Sami contacted us last month and has been progressing
rapidly. He´s been attending church almost every Sunday the past month
and is eager to learn. He´s super ready but he doesn't feel ready to be
baptized. We had a great lesson with him and a recent convert in the
ward. The brother shared his baptismal experience with Sami and we
shared Mosiah 18. We talked about how you don´t have to know everything
to be ready for baptism. He accepted the invitation to pray about the 22
of this month.
Transfers are this next weekend. I believe I will be departing la Victoria, but only the Lord knows, and President Corbitt.
I love you all
Sincerely,
Elder Call
