How is everyone doing? The time is flying by for me here in the mission. I cannot believe that it is already July. This week I will complete 5 months in the mission!
This week was a crazy week. All of the people that we normally visit in the week had their appointments fall through. We would go to their house and we couldn´t enter because they either weren´t there or that it was just a man alone. One of our investigators Brian, accepted a baptismal date last week and who accepted to live the word of wisdom and live the law of chastity totally blew us off this week. I don´t know what is happening with him but I hope that everything is alright still. Yesterday we saw him walking in the street and I made eye contact with him and he looked down and walked away, so I made sure to say hi really loud as he walked pàst and then he stopped and said hi. I was a little bit hurt by that because it felt that he was making such good progress and that he confided in us, but I just hope everything is alright with him.
Our other investigators Carlos and Marcela are supposedly going to the registro civil to put an hour today to get married which we are really excited about. I've been worrying about Marcela because she has a really bad back and has been bed ridden many times which has impeded her from coming to church. I think one of her disks slipped out like moms. The problem is that she needs a surgery, but its too expensive so she can´t get it. She got a blessing and I hope that she can start feeling better.
Even though this week as far as appointment goes, wasn´t how we planned, it was still a good week. Especially Sunday, the two girls Cata and Feña hadn´t come to church since the day that they got confirmed and this week their whole family came. It made me so happy because they are like my second family here in Centinela and to see them sitting all there together was a very special moment for me. Their brother Pablo still has not been baptized and we are working with him to arrive at that point. I just want them to be able to have the opportunity to be an eternal family.
Something that I have thought alot about this week is the importance of obedience. The commandments we have been given have been given to us because God loves us and knows what is best for us. To obey brings us the most happiness we can have.
I love you all and hope you have a great week!
Love
