this week we got a new member in our house, hermana SMITH! my mtc companion/hermana peterson's hija! its so fun.
ethan is getting baptized on saturday! woohoo! the fam came to church yesterday and he is super excited to be baptized! and danna's (his mom) husband came to church too and we were able to teach him too and hes interested in the church as well! they're not actually married, so we'll have to work on that. but we're so happy that the family is getting reactivated. theyre all so nice.
this week hermana peterson and i spent a good amount of time contacting trying to find new investigators. and we found a good numer of people who gave us set return appointments to come back! so we have high hopes for this week that we'll get some good new investigators from this.
we had a FIRE lesson with benji and jorma this week about marriage and we brought obispo rivera and his wife, who got married so they could get baptized (like 40 years ago) haha. but WE COULD TELL that it realllly made benji think and we have a feeling that hes gonna surprise us all and get married. and hermana peterson and i keep telling them that it has to be soon because we both have to be there. hah. WE HAVE FAITH!!
so last week luis and a recent(ish) convert who was kind of less active for a little while and we reactivated him (alex!) both got the priesthood last sunday and yesterday they both showed up in their white shirts and ties and helped with the sacrament!! it was the best feeling ever!!!!! soooooooo happy
a few weeks ago we got a referral from this one guy who is from cabo rojo and hes currently serving a mission. he gave us a refereence for his friend, adriana, and her family who live down in corozo which is super far. basically the furthest down south you can go in cabo rojo. so we've taught her a few times and then we lost contact for a couple weeks but then we heard this week that her brother was shot and killed in mayaguez, so we went down with hermana morales and were able to teach the whole family about the plan of salvation. it was a very powerful lesson and they just kept thanking us for coming over and bringing them some peace. it was a lesson that really made me feel grateful to be a missionary and be able to really help people in their lives. and they said that they will come to church this sunday! woop woop!
a pretty good week here in cabo rojo!
