Taco Count for the Week: 6
Total Taco Count: 368
Okay I am just going to climb down from cloud 9 real quick and
let you know how I am doing=)
This week was in...creeedible!!
It was the most successful week I have had in the mission.
HANDS DOWN!
I would like to share a few of the experiences I had=)
We had so much help from the members! That made the biggest
difference, we were running from appointment to appointment every day!
But my favorite day in particular was Saturday!
This day we had a lot of plans to teach the Plan of Salvation.
This lesson is one of the hardest lessons to teach, for me.
This lesson covers a LOT of doctrine! and depending
on you as a missionary and depending on those you are teaching,
there are about a million different ways to teach it.
We started in the morning with one of our investigators that is going to be baptized this coming Saturday=)=)
The spirit was so strong in the lesson. As she asked us more and more questions, I loved watching the look in her eyes as we responded!
The words, the scriptures, all of the answers that she was looking for just flowed through our mouths!
100 percent the spirit=)
Later, we went to eat with a Sister that was baptized about 3 years ago. She has two sons who aren´t members.
The older son is always there when we eat and likes to listen, too.
We finished eating and began to share the lesson.
We taught COMPLETELY different!
We had the plan laid out in front of him.
We explained everything and he had ALL of his attention
glued to the plan!
His eyes would start at the beginning and follow all the way to the end... and stayed glued there for a while.
His eyes would start at the beginning and follow all the way to the end... and stayed glued there for a while.
Then they moved to the beginning and did it all over again!
As we were finishing the lesson and as my companion was testifying
I could feel the spirit tingling through my whole body!
I knew this was his time
and that we needed to invite him to be baptized.
He was hesitant at the beginning and found himself
examining the plan again.
He looked up to us with a very serious look on his face,
but with so much light in his eyes
and shook his head and said
"sí."
The last lesson was with a family that we have been teaching=)
I love this little family with all my heart!!
We focused this lesson more on our life on earth and the Atonement.
They were hanging on every word that we said!
There process has been difficult... and they are passing through
a lot of difficulties.
But I know this was exactly what the needed=)
Sunday came and it was the greatest miracle of all!!
We broke our personal record of investigators in sacrament meeting=)
I can´t even tell you how amazing I felt!!
At the end of the meeting one of our investigators came up to us.
He had a baptism date but fell through...
he has struggled dropping some of the customs he has in his life.
He told us he didn´t want to be baptized because he didn´t feel ready.
We made a big decision as missionaries to only be there to
help him receive a testimony.
We hardly teach him. His conversion process has been completely
through the Book of Mormon.
He told us,
"I'm ready to be a member of the Church.
I want to be baptized."
We have everything set up=) His baptism will be in March=)
This week I have learned a lot about the Plan of Salvation, the plan that God has for us as His children.
If you know me, you know I´m not a big fan of making decisions.
But that´s exactly what this life is, it´s a time to grow
and to use the agency He gave us,
to make the decisions that are going to help us go home.
We don´t know what the future has in store for us.
But I know that God loves us and has given us the Gospel to guide us!
My time is getting short...
So I need to run.
But remember how much I love all of you!!

P.S. We had a free day in the mission and so we had lots of activities all day long!
We played soccer, basketball, and volleyball in the morning... But we didn´t go=(
We went bowling with President in the afternoon! (I won=)) (the trick is in the skirt)
Then ended the day seeing
MEET THE MORMONS
with piiiizzzaaa!!!=)
It was an awesome day=)
Oh oh oh!! and we found a little restaurant that had GORDITAS REALES!!
it´s my favorite food in México=)
My family away from home went to D.F. and brought us back fresh Krispy Kreme doughnuts=)
