Family,
I am still alive
and well! We are doing another asado this week because we made one last week
with an investigator and we have to teach him how to do it! You should have
pictures of that! I also got a new mate which is pretty awesome. Another photo
of that will be going to you. Life is good in the mission. I have still not
been able to lose or gain any weight. And we made a deal with my awesome
pension that she is only allowed to give us rice once a week.
This week we
kind of realized that the steps before baptism are a lot more necessary that
coming to church and praying. Somebody has to repent!!! That is a big deal!
They have to change their old habits to become new and better. They have to WANT
to go to church instead of just doing it. They Need to understand WHY they need
to be saved. They need to understand the fall. Can missionaries really do
that? Can we convert a person? The answers to both questions is no, we
can't. We can only set goals and checkup. We can only Teach truths and
testify. We can only Try. If you think about it we don't do anything the
members can't do. Interesting.
I think a lot
about Lehi's dream and I like to use it to teach because it's visual. Lehi did not
and could not successfully share the Love of God (the fruit) until he had really
tried it. We cannot really share repentance until we have tried it as well in some part. In timothy it says the Husbandmen who works in the vineyard must
be first partaker of the fruits.
I know the
church is true. I know that repentance works. That God Loves us.
I will be
watching Conference in English!
Alexis Will be
Baptized the week after conference!
We are Alive and
well!
I am looking for
Christmas presents for you all!
Love you
Sonriendo
Siempre,
Elder
