We found so me really amazing investigators this week knocking doors but guess what..... LESS ACTIVES. ahhh so right now we currently have 15 less active familys that we are trying to re activate and help assist the temple. however the president of our mission sent out and annoucment that we are not super visiting teachers or home teachers we are misisonarys and need to focus in finding new investigators... we are currently trying to get the ward more involved in helping us and taking the load off our shoulders with so many families and recent converts
We did however find a new investigador named Victor Javier. He has 2 daughters and a wife that we have yet to talk to. He is really interested in the church and this isnt the first time that he has listened to the missionaries so we are hoping that we can help him improve. we have an appointment with him today.
Next we found Dolmitro! he is the coolest old man that has a lot of questions about all the churches and when i asked him what it was that he wanted out of his life here on earth he said I want to find the true and perfect church. i smiled and testified to him that i had found that church and i was now a missionary preaching the gospel for that church. he agreed to meet with us again this week so we will see what happens this is the second time he has met with misisonarys but he said before he didnt really pay attention.
the sad news of the week is our cute little recent convert cristel is having a hard time right now well her parents. Christian the dad was doing really good in the beginning and trying to assist all the classes in church and live a good life however recently he has started drinking with some guys from his work. Now during our visits he is very indifferent and is very angry most of the time and says he doesnt think we need a prophet and apostles in front of cristel. we tried to calm him down and explain things but he wouldnt listen and i soon lost my patience with him and we left. Sunday he met with the president of the branch and i think it helped but we will see what happens this week when we visit. i lost patience with him and i felt really bad after.. i feel bad for cristel because she wants to live the gospel more but her parents are struggling spiritually and it has affected her a lot. the good thing is that the mom cecilia has called us asking for help and we have a brother from the ward that is helping us with them.
the spiritual part for this week. i want you all to try 2 activities for me in the book of mormon. the first is i want you to think of a doubt, problem, affliction, question you have about the gospel or anyting happening in your life right now and i want you to read 3 nephi 11: 1-17 while reading have this thought in your mind and find one of these verses that stands out the most to you and there is your answer. The next... pray... pray for the ability to find something you need in the book of mormon and answer of peace or help with current things in your life when you are done praying just open your book of mormon and randomly and the first verse your had is one or is marked and stands out to you read it. i can promise you with all of my heart that it will answer and help you in all that is going on in your lives right now. my sector is currently going through some hard times. a lot of people have severe and mild depression and i have watched it tear families apart as well as tear a person apart spirtually. do this activity and spend time with your family. if you are not currently reading the book of mormon as a family and praying as a family everynight i encourage you to do so please (: the family is so important in this gospel and when one in the family is trying to be better and the others are not satan is attacking your family and you need to fight back. when the family is all doing well satan is even worse than before and will do anything to end it. nightly family prayer and scripture study allows the spirit to enter the home more i have witnessed families on the verge of seperation become one again. i have seen families suffering the death of a love one feel more peace in the home. i love you all so much and pray for all of you. i konw a lot of you ahve difficult times right now and are passing through things difficlut. the savior is here for you and he lives for you. he suffered all for us all he asks is to come unto him. reach out to those around you and express your feelings seek the guidance of the savior
D&C 121: 7-8
7 My son, peace be unto thy soul; thine adversity and thine afflictions shall be but a small moment;
8 And then, if thou endure it well, God shall exalt thee on high; thou shalt triumph over all thy foes.
D&C 24:8
