This week was roasty....Very roasty. Apparently, Sabana can´t decide if it wants to be steaming hot or downing rain upon us. Either way, we are prepared. The other day Elder Eleuterio and I we purchased ourselves, Sombrillas,(umbrellas). And they defend against sun and rain. We look a little bit like Testigos de Jehova (Jehovahs witnesses) but whatever. The testigos actually look a lot like us and people confuse us with them all the time. Someone actually told me that their church is a branch off of our church. It makes sense in that we have many similarities, but their doctrine is really wacky. Anyways, I´m keeping me umbrella.
This week was our last week together, Elder Eleuterio and I, He´s been here since December so we were pretty sure his time was up in this area. Elder Eleuterio has been assigned to work in Santo Domingo Capital. I´m staying here and receiving a Honduran missionary named Elder Ortis. We're having a lot of changes in the zone. Hermana Fullmer is leaving our district and Hermana Pelico is receiving a Hermana Burgess. The Sabana C sisters are staying together, which they are very happy about. We´ve had a great district. We´ll miss those who are heading out but it´s going to be a good change.
Anyways about the week. Elder Eleuterio and I had a miracle happen this past week.
In the mission, we are taught the importance of setting inspired goals. There's a quote in PMG (Preaching my Gospel) by Elder Ballard that basically says we make goals so we can use the precious time God has given us in the manner most efficient, also inspired goals help us complete other goals too. So we´ve been working to find more people this week but we also working on visiting and helping less actives.
I believe it was Tuesday that we were out contacting and it was hot, I was sweaty. Then at eleven we had put an appointment with a less active sister named Hermana Mercedes. We arrived at her house and found an adult man and a young man outside talking with her. We introduced ourselves and explained we were here to share a message with Hermana Mercedes and invited them to listen.
We prayed and began to share the first principles of the gospel, faith, repentance and baptism. I felt the spirit guiding my companion and I as we shared the gospel of Jesus Christ with these three people. We invited Domingo and Edy to be baptized, and they accepted. It was an inspired lesson. I know we were guided Tuesday morning to find those two people. When we set inspired goals, we invite the spirit to guide and direct us in our actions. This can apply to all aspects of our lives, but in missionary work, it´s how we find the people God´s preparing!
Have a great week guys!
Saludos,
Elder Call
