hola!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN!!!! what i love about austin is that he always gives such good advice!!!! lololololol. hes always very mindful about what he emails me and i can tell he puts a lot of thought into it and really cares!!! and when we were at BYU together i think we got closer than we ever were before and it was so fun!! fun times eating in the cannon center and cougar eat.... goooood times. SBS!! hes also just a SW.
this week was pretty good. we're still teaching david y samuel, and we extended an invitation for baptism and they were like "mmmm idk." haha. we're trying to figure out how to get them more EXCITED and WANT to learn more, so we need to start bringing young men to the lessons to help us out. but their mom really wants them to get baptized, so that helps. they came to church yesterday! they have support from their fam. we just gotta help them now.
we also taught BIRIDIANA! she and her family are from Mexico and we found them just on the street. they're super nice and this week, we stopped by one day and gave us food, and then we went back the next day and taught them the restoration. they've talked to missionaries before and are catholic, but we have some super good converts in the ward that could help us with them. and the best surprise of the week - they came to our ward halloween party!!! "baile de la fantasia" hahaha. we went by to invite them earlier in the day and didn't expect them to come, but about half an hour after it started they walked in and it was soooo goooood! the ward was SUPER GREAT and everyone was talking to them and they had a good time. Yay!
There is another family that we are beginning to work with. There is a ward missionary in one of the English wards who has befriended them and is inviting them to ward activities and stuff. They went to a ward Halloween party AND a primary program on sunday!! She gave us this referral a couple weeks ago and we've gone to visit them, but we havent been able to teach them yet. Weve been working with her though. There is a grandma and grandpa, a mom and dad, and 2 daughters, about 12 and 9. Only the daughters speak English. We have an appointment with them tonight! Theyre the Rodriguez fam from Venezuela.
On Saturday, we went to go sing at an assisted care living home and one of the aids who works there said she would be willing to hear us! When we first went, she was like "no, I've already talked to missionaries before, I do not need to hear anything " but she was so touched by our singing she opened up and accepted an appointment! Then we went by on Sunday and taught her and she was super good and accepting. Her name is rose, and she's lived in Utah for her whole life so she's fluent in Spanish and English.
That was our week! I found a good scripture that I really like in d&c 64:33
33 Wherefore, be not weary in well-doing, for ye are laying the foundation of a great work. And out of small things proceedeth that which is great.
Yeeeeeet! Just gotta Keep doing good things! Yay!
Love,
Hermana Murphy
