Hola Todos (7/04/2011)


Hola Todos,
 
     How´s it goin?  I´m pretty good.  This week we´ve kept up the search for new investigatores.  We´ve found a lot of new people and we´ll see how they progress.  I´m really looking forward to teaching them all a lot more.  We found one family this week that´s shared with missionaries before.  They´re a family of two grandparents and their five adult children and all of their respective grandchildren.  They were really excited to see us and started telling us about how they shared wtih missionaries that were here ten years ago and then again with the missinaries that were here before me.  They told me that the missionaries that last shared with them stopped visiting them because they wouldn´t go to church.  I was really honest and told them that I´ll probably do the same if they don´t read  or pray or go to church.  It seems like that really helped them realize that their progress depends heavily on they themselves.  Hopefully they´ll progress and really put in all the attention and effort that the gospel deserves in their lives.  I´ve always liked the parables that the Lord gave in Matthew 13:44-46.  It really helps people to realize the priority the gospel should take in their lives.
 
    Well, I would write more, but this computer is really slow and doesn´t want to let me type very much.
 
See you all next week!
 
Cuidense!
