Hola familia y amigos
There are no changes this week because this week is a 7 week transfer. The
extension of the MTC time has made us spend one more week in this change.
On Wednesday, we didn't enter a single house. We contacted the whole day and
set up appointments with other people. On our way home we were a little tired
and without hope after being rejected more than 20 times that day, but as we
were walking to our house a guy got out of his car and shouted "Hey, you guys,
come and teach me about Jesus". We at first thought he was drunk, but when we
talked with him he told us that he never had time to hear the missionaries and
he was sitting in his car waiting for someone and thought, "you know what, I'm
going to hear what they have to say". His name was Pablo, he lives in another
mission, so we taught him there in the street and sent the reference to Santiago
west. It looks like there are people that do want to hear us but you have to
look the whole day for them.
On Thursday, we taught Nelson and Katia. They are older investigators. They
are a lot more willing to do commitments now. We shared with them the new video
the Church has done for Easter.
On Saturday, we found a new Peruvian family. They were really interested
and it was awesome because they committed to reading the Book of Mormon and we
asked them why and they said. "because we want to know if all of this is true"!
I love it when people understand the message.
We also taught Gabriel. He is a young guy we found. He read the chapter we
left with him and we taught him the Plan of Salvation. He loved it. He had so
many questions, and we are really happy with how he is progressing. He looks
happier every time we visit him.
On Saturday night we were invited to the adult session of stake conference. An Area Seventy from Argentina came and taught us about the importance of
working with the young men and women from the stake.
On Sunday we had stake conference. We were waiting for 3 investigators to
come and no one showed up and President Videla was there. We did all we could
but no one came..
That afternoon we taught a lot of people including a part member family
that is from Peru. The dad has the priesthood and his wife doesn't know much
about the Church but is really willing to investigate.
Yesterday we taught the Murillos Caceres family. They told us that they
want to get baptized, but with all of the family drama that they are going
through they cant do it right now.It's the same problem with Christian, too many family problems.
I know that the gospel blesses families. My parents taught it to me and
look where I am. I know that families based upon the principles of the Gospel
are more like to achieve true happiness in this life than any other means.
Love,
Elder Williams
