AND, i finished the 90 day book of mormon challenge!!!! it was CRAAAZYYYY. what a good book! going through and hilighting every reference to Jesus Christ was really awesome and puts into perspective how the book of mormon REALLY is another testament of Jesus Christ. there are TOO MANY good chapters in this book. as i was reading, i marked every chapter that i REALLY liked and i ended up marking like 25. classic. but everyone should read it!! really. one thing im doing NOW is im going to read it OVER AGAIN (but not in 90 days) with the question of "how do i rely on/teach with/recognize the spirit?" because i remember in the MTC we heard a talk by david a bednar and he says whenever you have a question, take a blank copy of the book of mormon and read it with that question in mind. so thats what im doing.
this week we had ESMERALDA'S BAPTISM. if you wonder why ive never talked about her, its because shes 8 and from a member family. hahaha. but her family was super less active for a long time and hermana bliss and i have been working with them and now Hermana guzman is super active and esmeralda and her brother. its so nice!!!! the dad still hasnt gone to church, but its so awesome to see them there every week. the teenage brother has been able to get the priesthood and pass the sacrament in church. (and i played the piano at the baptism.... so it was really good).
we went to the Rodriguez's house last monday to start teaching them the after baptism lessons and we show up and they go "so we werent sure what to do for family home evening... can you tell us what to do? we just decided to watch the nativity video on gospel library then read the story of the nativity in the scriptures" and we were like :0. "thats the PERFECT fhe!!!!" and they really want their membership numbers so they can pay tithing and go to the family history library and get family search for free HAHAHA. CHILL!!! YOUVE BEEN MEMBERS FOR LIKE A DAY!! hahah. just kidding. theyre awesome. they're doing great!!! and their ward is at 1 now so we get to go for their last 2 hours of church after ours.
weve been doing a lot of finding this week since our teaching pool has decreased since the baptism HAHAHA. we've been doing a lot of tracting and contacting former investigators. we've found a few good potentials! feliciana, if you remember her, who was progressing, dropped US this week. so fun! but we're doing well, and trying to get creative with our finding.
the landeros family is doing goooood. im really proud of them because theyve been less active for a while but the parents and Jazmine have come to church pretty consistently for the last couple months! jazmine's still on track to get baptized on the 20th. we know that if the parents get activated again, the whole family will. so we're working.
well. thats all for this week. the mission is great! love life. with the passing of President Monson, i think everyone has been thinking a lot about him. we share his talk a lot about 'The Power of the Book of Mormon' from april 2017. its a short talk, but its awesome to teach about modern day prophets and the importance of the book of mormon. everyone should go watch it and follow his council! "We live in a time of great tr
Because the Book of Mormon is
