Semana 37 - Marcha 2015

Taco Count:  11

Total Taco Count:  414.50

Well we pretty much killed it this week=)

Hermana Christensen is determined to finish her mission in peace,

So we are doing everything in our power to make that possible!!

We started the week with a lot of excitement=)

In the blog post last week I mentioned the two baptisms we 

had planned for Saturday!

We figured that we would work our butts off all week and then finish 

the week with two baptisms=)

We found lots of new people!

Completed with almost all of our goals=)

Had the baptismal interviews and everything was looking good=)

Our investigator didn't smoke at all during the week!!!

But, we got a call from our zone leaders Thursday night.

They were concerned about his addiction to tobacco!

They asked a lot of questions and we talked for awhile about everything.

One of the Elders did an exercise with us that really got us thinking.

We hung up and immediately were on our knees praying.

After praying as companions and personally as well as lots of discussion...

We decided it would be better to wait another month for his baptism.

The elders in the ward are also going to be teaching him from here on out.

It was a pretty tough decision to make but I know it will be best for him!

We were a little bit down about this but still looking forward to the other baptism!=)

We got everything ready Saturday morning!

Then got a call from her mom telling us that the her dad (Who was going to baptize her) was called to work in Aguascalientes.

The whole family decided to go!!

Just like that, the other baptism fell through!

We were waiting in the chapel later in the afternoon to have splits 

with the ward missionaries,

We were both super bummed=(

All the excitement that we had all week was immediately crushed.

I hate to admit it.

Going and working with the ward missionaries really helped though=)

Sunday my companion gave a talk and it was reeeeally good!!

The spirit was really strong during the Sacrament Meeting=)

I was really glad that our investigators were able to go and feel the spirit!

Working in the afternoon was rough again!

The sun is blazing hot again... It almost scares me to be back in summer.

We walked a TON with no luck anywhere!

We finally ended up with a contact from a few weeks ago!

It was the GREATEST lesson=)=)

We taught the first lesson... She was so excited to listen and 

to hear what happened!

We had planned to only teach a little bit, but ended up teaching the 

entire lesson!

The spirit was so strong the whole time!

Normally her little kids are running around and her husband comes 

and goes with friends,

but while we were teaching about Joseph Smith there was 

complete silence 

and the spirit was present the whole time!!

She kept asking us...

"Then what did Jospeh do?! What was the answer?! How did he know?!"

We taught the first vision and you could literally see everything 

change inside of her!!

We began the invitation to be baptized but before we could even mention anything about baptism she said

"So baptism... How do you do it?"

Ahhhhhhh=)

I was trying to contain the excitement that was bursting inside of me!

She has her baptismal date for April 24th=)

I feel like it has been a while since I have a first lesson like that!

We left the lesson like smiling fools!!

We have another appointment with her right after I leave the cyber=)

I love you all...this gospel is TRUE!

Con Amor,

Hermana Robinson
