Weekly Update

Well another week has flown by! I can’t believe it’s Monday already! But here’s a little bit about this week :)

First off, our investigator José Fernando. Hess been really struggling to find an answer. So this week we really focused on the Holy Ghost and praying. So we marked Moroni 10 for him to read. When we arrived in the visit he said he had read and we were super happy! Then he went on talking about how people ate each other and i was like what?!?! Haha. We were so confused! Then I tried to remember all the war stories but all I could remember is when they would leave the bodies in the desert and the animals would eat the bodies. So we tried explaining that to him but he wasn’t satisfied. So then the three of us did a scripture search. And finally he found where he had read. Well when he went to read, he read Moroni 9:10..... Which says:

"And after they had done this thing, they did murder them in a most cruel manner, torturing their bodies even unto death; and after they have done this, they devour their flesh like unto wild beasts, because of the hardness of their hearts; and they do it for a token of bravery."

So then we went on to explain how the BOM teaches us things we should do and that we should not do... haha. So we went back to talking about feeling the spirit and receiving answers and he says he feels good every time he reads and prays. But now he is struggling to understand why he needs to be baptized again. So that is our challenge this week. To help him understand why he needs to be baptized again.

We spent a lot of this week contacting people and trying to find some new investigators. We found some really awesome people! One afternoon as we were teaching seminary, a woman walked in the church. So Sister Costancio talked to her as I continued to the give the lesson. And turns out that her "husband" knew the church when he was a kid but wasn’t too interested. But then she saw the plaque and saw that we teach English and she got super excited. So we went and visited her and her husband this week and we were super happy! So he knew the church when he had about 12 years. But he wasn’t too interested. But now he is really wanting to learn more and be baptized!!! Yay!!! But we’ve got a few things we’ve got do to do help him out first, like marriage and the word of wisdom. But at least he is willing to change! So we will see how things go this week :)

Well that’s it for about this week! I hope you have all had a wonderful week and I hope that this next week is even better! Keep reading the scriptures and saying your prayers :)

Love you all!
