Another great week in
Macuiltepetl! We saw so many miracles and are seeing so much success
right now. The sad thing is that I am most likely out of here in the
next two weeks but there are so many people that are progressing so
rapidly almost makes me wanna stay another 6 weeks haha. Here's a wrap
up:
To start we had a baptism! Soemi, a good
friend of ours for a while, made the decision to be baptised this
weekend and we couldn't be happier for her. In her testimony during the
baptismal service she shared that on the way to the service her son
asked her what she was hoping to get out of being baptised in the
church. She got emotional as she told us that she was looking for a
guide and that she knows she found it here within the church. She is so
awesome and has a ton of faith. The other elders in the ward also had a
baptism and so a ton of people came to support. It was a pretty awesome
day for us.
On Sunday we saw more miracles as
we had a couple more friends of ours attend church with us. It is always
an awesome feeling when you see some of the people you've been teaching
walk through the chapel doors for the first time. Especially here in
Macuil, where when you walk through the doors of the church you walk
right into the sacrament meeting haha. And we don't have enough chairs
to seat all the members and so we always scramble to find a chair for
them. It's a lot of fun.
Also the greatest
miracle is that people are reading the Book of Mormon like crazy here.
We gave one to a lady that we started teaching without a huge
explanation because we didn't have a lot of time and she's already in 2
Nephi haha. Another girl we have been teaching is already like a 4th
through the Book. They say that conversion is easiest when they take the
time to read the book that holds everything we teach together and we
are 100% seeing that right now haha. Miracles after miracles here in
Macuiltepetl!
The work is going STRONG here and
I am loving it. The worst weeks and days in the mission are always
followed by the best weeks and days. I love this gospel and this work!
Love and miss you all!
