week 95 (no family letter week 94)

It was another great week! We have been working with a lot of people that have worked with the missionaries in the past. We are right on the edge to helping them resolve some concerns and be baptized. I feel like any day now we could be setting a lot of baptismal dates. One is José who has has some word of wisdom problems and another is Roberto who just needs to recognize his answer that the BOM is true. Another is Celinda who has received an answer but doesn't feel like it's a good enough answer. We are just waiting on a few things. We fasted this past week to see what else we could do to help our investigators and to give them extra strength. Keep them in your prayers!!

We got in contact with our investigator Richard. We found him a little while ago trying to visit a referral. We were waiting outside the complex for somebody to open the gate and he came up and asked if we were Mormons. He met with missionaries a couple years ago but was sever baptized. We couldnt get a hold of him for about a week but we found out he went to jail for some crazy stuff that happened haha. He really has amazing desires to change but we just need to help him get over a few issues. He's the man.

We helped paint a recent converts house in the ward for a couple days. I'll send some pictures so that. 

We also found some sick graffiti haha. Pictures below! 

This week we have a zone conference with Elder Pearson from the 70 so I'm excited for that. As well we have a meeting for Elder Lopez and all the other trainees. It's going to be another busy week and I'm excited to help these people change and get baptized!

Thanks for everything yall do for me I will talk to you next week :)

week 93

So today is the first day of the last transfer of my mission. I'm excited to finish here in Jersey Village with Elder Lopez. I got news that I will not be zone leader or anythin this transfer to finish out so it'll be fun to just focus on the area and training. I'm excited to finish my mission out strong. 

Yesterday we had a cool miracle! We were able to get in with our investigator Jose! He is a stud. He's been doing super good with the word of wisdom and reading in the Book of Mormon. We decided to teach him the plan of salvation and how he can save all his family members and ancestors through temple work. We set a date with him for May 5th and we are gonna go back to talk to him about doing baptisms for his ancestors. It was a great lesson!

I had an exchange with Elder Christensen this week. He knows a family here in the area and he said we should call them to see how they are doing. We gave them a call and it turned out that the mom of the family was in the hospital and they had been there for a couple days. They had decided not to call anybody from the church and when we called they said it was a blessing from the Lord and that they know that he watches out for them. They came to church last Sunday. The Lord really does guide his servants!  

I'm cutting this email short again today haha sorry!! Talk to yall next week
