2020-01-20: Small and Simple Things

Hola, hola everyone!! This last week was pretty awesome. We worked pretty well, and we are starting to see some progress. We found a TON of new investigators but very few seem really interested or willing to act. However we will keep working with them. 
The branch here in Cerrito is awesome. The leaders are very active, visiting less-active members and sharing the gospel. This helps a ton in the missionary work. We were able to meet with several member families and get to know more members and also nonmembers. God is good. 

We didn’t have many investigators in church on Sunday, which really hurts. This is God’s work though, and He is leading us. We are working hard, but the big successes are coming slowly. By small and simple things God works miracles. This week was full of small and simple lessons and actions that hopefully are working together to make something bigger.

Les amo!

2020-03-02: Craziest Appointment So Far

Hellos!! THIS WEEK WAS AWESOME!!! Hahaha. We worked super hard and are seeing lots of progress. Attitude is everything in the mission. A good attitude and hard work will always bring good results. GOD IS GOOD.  We have several awesome people preparing to be baptized soon.  Nicol (13 years old) is going to get baptized this Saturday. She’s incredibly smart and is really taking this seriously. She is sooo ready to be baptized. We had a really good talk, telling her to be nicer to her mom, because that’s what Christ would do and if she wants to get baptized she needs to be more Christlike. She understood :) and took it really well. She’s very mature. Mucha nicol (an expression that means “way to go” “you’re awesome”). Rainir is a baller. He’s an industrial engineer and very smart. He’s planning to get baptized the 21st. He just wants an answer from God to be sure. He’s reading and praying every day. GOLD! He’s awesome. We found this lady named Alba...

2020-03-09: Helping Awesome People Progress

Hola, Hola!! This week was pretty awesome. A few ups and downs, but that’s how life goes right. We found a lot of really good, new investigators this week.  We found this lady Yackilina and her husband Rovilson. It was an awesome contact, and then when we went back for the appointment, we talked a bit about the life and the need for Jesus Christ and the gospel. It was an awesome lesson and at the end she told us that she has lots of dreams and recently she had a dream that she didn’t understand very well, but she said “everything you just said has helped me soo much, I understand so much more now. I’ve been praying God would help me to understand.” WOW!! We had several awesome citas/appointments with our investigators that are progressing towards baptism. We had a good cita with Rainir. He is awesome. He is struggling a little with work and unfair treatment and pay (‘cuz they’re from Venezuela). But he never forgets God and keeps reading the Book of Mormon and prayin...

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...
