It was a good week! We got to work and talk with a bunch of people, but
not a lot of them went to church.. :( Here is a summary of a
normal day: We start off with exercises and studies (lots of studies for
most days) after studies we get to eat lots of food with members!! And
then the day starts with lessons or finding/contacting people who can go
to church and progress towards baptism! haha Lots of people are
"different" here so everyday is different and many times the weirdest
things happen to missionaries.. This week was a little different because
we contacted a man who had no faith in Jesus but the spirit said to
keep talking with him. We learned that he is blind because he had a surgery that
went wrong and he lost his sight. It is a great challenge for him but
he went to church with us this Sunday and went to the baptism. He was
singing the hymns that he was hearing for the 1st time in his life! It
was really awesome, really special to see the power of hymns. After
church he asked if he could come back. It was awesome to see what the
Lord can do. I think the Lord is teaching me to stop seeing with carnal eyes
and more how He sees His children!
One
other thing we have been doing is helping part member families and it
is working out. We had a baptism this week, completing a family as members
of Christ church! His name is Iverson and it was awesome because after
his baptism his cousin confirmed that she wanted to be baptized too! So we
will work with her so she can be baptized this Sunday!!!!
It was a good
week! The Lord is helping me attain more patience with my new companion
and helping me learn what I need to do and teach him! Lots of awesome experiences this week!
Love You guys!
