2020-01-13: Working in El Cerrito

Elder Flores, Burt & Elder Sorensen
(companions before this transfer)
Well, this week was pretty good and a little rough. So, for the cambios/transfers, they split Cerrito into two areas. Last cambio we had worked a lot more in the other area, and so now we really don’t have many progressing investigators in my area. Dang, it’s been tough to not work with and help all those awesome people. We have also been contacting and working hard but not seeing much success yet. We are basically starting from nothing.

We did see several miracles though. We spent most of the week looking for old investigators or less active members, and we were blessed to find several people that used to be investigators a long time ago. This is God’s work, and He is preparing people in front of us.

This week I learned that God gives us challenges and weaknesses to make us be humble. When we truly humble ourselves and do His will with all our heart, He will make our weaknesses become strengths.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only way to return to live with God, and the only way to LEARN how to be like God. The Bible is the word of God and contains the blueprint of how God interacts and help His children live the Gospel. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. He loves us more than we can imagine. We should learn to love Him the same, and then share that love with everyone.

Les amo!!

2020-02-03: Study and Apply the Scriptures

Elder Flores, Elder Sorensen, y Elder Ypushima Hola hola!! This week was pretty good :) Still working good and finally starting to find a lot more and better people to teach.  A few good investigators we found:  We found a lady named Lady (haha) and her boyfriend Daniel. They go to a different church but are super interested. They had tons of questions and really want to learn about what we teach. While teaching them, Daniel read 2 entire pamphlets and the whole introduction to the Book of Mormon!!! WOW!! He began asking tons of really good questions. They are awesome. Another lady we found is named Jennifer Lopez. Hahahaha, en serio (Seriously!). She also goes to a different church but really wanted to learn more, especially what doctrines the church is founded in. We had an awesome lesson with her, and she really wants to find the truth.  Also a lady named Erlinda, who was waiting for us when we went back to her house for the appointment. She is a teache...

2020-02-17: Transfers – I’M TRAINING!!!

Hernando & Karol's baptism by Hernando's son (& Karol's dad, who is also the 2nd counselor in the bishopric) with Elders Sorensen & Flores. Hello everyone! How was your week? Our week out here was AWESOME!! Like always, we worked crazy good and we are starting to see A FEW of the fruits. A few awesome people we found this week and several awesome others that are progressing really well. God is good.  This week we had the baptism of Hernando (the father of our 1st counselor) and Karol (the son of the 1st counselor). They are an awesome family. The rest of the family is progressing pretty well. One lady really likes the Pentecostal church, but the Book of Mormon has lots of power. ;)  We found several awesome Venezuelans this week. Rainier (this guy we found last week) is AWESOME. We had several appointments with him this week, and he came to the baptism on Saturday. He is progressing and reading the Book of Mormon a lot and looking for the truth. We...

2020-03-16: Still Working - No Signs of Coronavirus Yet

HOLA! This week was pretty awesome! Life is still pretty normal here. We are working really well. This week we had several really awesome Family Home Evenings with the members here. They are awesome and in each lesson, a new friend or family member was there. Through that, we were blessed to find several awesome new investigators. No church is always pretty tough in the mission because it’s the easiest way to measure an investigators desire and commitment. And it’s a big step towards baptism. We still have several awesome investigators close to baptism, and we are praying that no church won’t affect them.  We found a pretty cool family this week. The dad is very interested and asks lots of questions. The mom is interested but has a very different way of thinking about things. I learned two lessons from them. Number 1: the dad said he has always wanted to talk with the Mormons and that he has worked with Mormons, but nobody ever approached him. For me as a missionary, thi...
