Right now we're having so much fun though! I'm glad I get to have Hermana Trone as my companion I learn so much from her every day! Also she's pretty funny I laugh my guts out every day! Haha it's going to be a fun 6 weeks
This week we've been working a lot on updating our ward list. There are about 1000 names on it but only 130 come to church so we went on a quest to discover the lost sheep and check to see if people live at the recorded address and if not update the list and if they do still live there invite them to partake of the blessings of church attendance.
We also got to paint the piso (apartment) of an investigator of the Elders. All 6 of us missionaries were working hard! It was fun because we don't do service very often.
We also had a baptism on Saturday. She was... an area book find/member referece. So her story is so cool. She is from the Dominican republic and has 3 daughters. She was taught by missionaries about a year ago until 1 month before I made it to this area. Anyways we called her and she wouldn't set up an appointment with us BUT she came to church the next sunday. (Side note is her husbands parents are members and have been bringing her 3 kids to church the whole time) Anyways she came up to us and was like your call was from God, I want to get baptised and be an example for my kids. So we taught her 3 times making sure she knew everything and she was baptised. Just another testament that it's God's timing and people's agency that's most important in this work. She's so happy and is such a great example for her children and her husband.
One other really great blessing I received this week was being able to see 2 less active members that we've been working with at church! I love it!
It was a great week I love this work and I'm grateful for everyone that supports me.
