this week was SICKKKKK. we had a couple BIRTHDAY MIRACLES. we had a noche de hogar with a less active family from cabo rojo 2, and we watched the movie the testaments. and while we were watching, the non-member husband walked in and watched the movie with us! and we were able to give him a book of mormon and such and we have another appointment with them tonight. birthday miracle!!!!!!!!!!!!! we also had a lesson with MIRIAM. yes, remember her? haha. it was like the first good lesson that we've had with her in like a MONTH. and guess what. SHE CAME TO CHURCH YESTERDAY! FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE HER BAPTISM!!!!!!!!!!! BIRTHDAY MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIRACLES OF FASTING. it was SWEEEEEET. and next week, she can get interviewed and confirmed if all goes well. WOOHOOOO!!!!
we had MLC this week also and it was a good time. and we have it again in a few weeks. woop woop! hermana peterson and i gave a training on how to plan good baptism programs because president smart loved our baptism haha. one thing that we brought from ogden is the 4 minute restoration, which the missionaries share while the person who got baptized is getting dressed. basically you share the message of the restoration super fast and its really good for investigators who are there. and president now made it a mission policy to do it at every baptism. woop woop. #legendstatus
and so on the way home from MLC, since its in bayamon and we had to leave at 6:30 AM, we did our daily planning for the two hours we would have to work that night. and we werent really sure what to do so we prayed and thought about it and i thought of this family that we had contacted like 3 months ago. actually, i might have written about them, idk but we had just started our fast to find families and then like 20 minutes later we walked into them and got a return appointment and such but then they were literally NEVER HOME/ or ignoring us. haha. but i had been thinking about them throughout the week and i thought about them when we were driving back. so we decided to go visit them. so we got home and walked over there to san Francisco courts and as we were walking in, the mom was standing right there! MIRACLES. so we got to talk to her and THEN. GUESS WHAT. she says "de hecho, me bautizaron en la iglesia mormona, cuando tenia como 9 anos. yo y mi papa y mi mama y mi hermano." SHES ALREADY A MEMBER!!!!!!! and she has 4 kids, two who are baptismal age, and her husband isnt a member. MIRACLES!!!!!!!!!!! it was crazy. so we got her phone number and a return appintment for this week. her name is ivelisse. shes super cool. so BASICALLY it was craaazyyyyy.
hermana peterson and i found a great idea on how to get referrals from members. just ask about PART MEMBER FAMILIES! legit we got like 6 referrals this week because the members arent scared of giving references for people where someone is already a member. haha. so weve been doing that and actually seeing some success from it.
in cabo rojo 2 there was a book of mormon activity this week and it was SICK. they went ALLLLL OUT. they made displays for the liahona and the brass plates and the standard of liberty and the tree of life and the whole activity was on giving book of mormons out to our friends and stuff. it was super awesome! we did a ton of role plays with the members and got them all pretty pumped to share some book of moromons.
yep that was our week. pretty good. i had a good birthday. got some donhelado (donut + ice cream). and i went on exchanges with hermana cluff. and yeah life is goooood here in cabo rojo.
love
