Week # 82. Member Exchanges!


Hey y'all?? How was your week?

We gonna start out with a story: We had just gotten done with some service so we were pretty beat. We got in the elevator and pushed the level 4 button. So we get there and we walk to our door, but the key wasn't working. And I was kinda freaking out cuz that's the only way in. So I started pushing the door and pulling the handle a little to try and get it to unlock and my comp was like "oh no" so he started getting even more aggressive with the door and I was just like "man I'm never gonna get to shower" when I looked at the door number and realized we had somehow pushed the level three button and we were on the wrong floor hahahaha we just looked at each other and walked to the elevator laughing so hard hahaha whoever lives there definitely thought we were trying to break in hahaha

But on with missionary stuff hahah this week we did exchanges with a member and it was so fun!! Sadly it was raining but as two veteran covid missionaries we spent the day on the phone! We called probably at least 75 people and it was so much fun hahaha We got a wide variety of response but so many people were willing to hear a message about Christ! 

A little bit ago we had a run in with a member who sadly said he didn't really want anything more with the church. So we kept trying to help but nothing worked so we finally resulted to just keep inviting and praying for him. To our surprise, he came to church this sunday!! It was so cool and he came right up to talk to us! The Lord works in mysterious ways!

I got to do another baptism interview this week!! This time it was a little more difficult because I had to re-teach some stuff because they were nervous, but something that made me so happy was at the end when i asked her to share her testimony about Jesus, she jumped right on it! She talked about how because of Jesus she can be with her family always and I just about started crying. It was so cool!! 

This week we got to help a family in the ward move houses and the coolest thing happened! So earlier we had called all those people and when we got to the house to help them, one of the people who accepted a message was There!! So we were able to talk a little bit in person and establish more of a friendship!! Miracles for dayyyyys

3 Nephi 19:3 Yea, and even all the night it was noised abroad concerning Jesus; and insomuch did they send forth unto the people that there were many, yea, an exceedingly great number, did labor exceedingly all that night, that they might be on the morrow in the place where Jesus should show himself unto the multitude.

An exceedingly great number did labor exceedingly all that night! These people were determined to see Jesus and they didn't care what they were going to have to do! Any labor was worth it to see Jesus. I think for us it's the same, but more spiritually. We know someday we're gonna meet Jesus, so we better make sure we're working exceedingly so that nothing will take us away from Him!

I love you all! Have a great week! Don't forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Image
Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Week # 90. Weddings & New Friends!

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
