This
week we were able to so some incredible progress in our area. We decided to
skip dinner and just work last Monday. We weren't quite sure what to do because
our plans fell through but just then we received a referral from Oregon for a
family who lived in our area so we visited them. The mom wasn't home but we
talked to the 14 and 8 year old daughters who were super receptive and made a
return appointment for Saturday. We decided we were going to work on our
member present lessons so we invited a lady in our ward who showed up with her
friend. They were so excited to teach that they took 10 to 15 minutes each to
share their conversion story and testimony. Marichuy ended up getting bits and
pieces of tithing, baptisms for the dead, priesthood, and the plan of salvation
with her lesson as well as a very detailed explanation of our beliefs about the
Virgin Mary but through all of the chaos of words the spirit was super strong
and both her daughter and her accepted to make a return appointment for next
week.
We also met the coolest Chinese man walking down the
street with a purple pumpkin Halloween bucket. I had to explain what Halloween
was and he said "...so kids come knock on my door and I have to give them
candy?" I thought about how silly it sounded but I am still super excited
because tons of people will be out and we'll be passing mormon.org cards
haha!
Ran our
of time today but I love you all lots,
I would
really appreciate if you could all share with me your conversion story, even if
you are a life long member of the church, please share how you came to gain
your own testimony.
My
sister will put my mailing address on facebook and on the blog.
Lots of
love,
Hermana
