Anyway
besides that I've been trying to start to do more activities in the
branch because right now we aren't doing any activities and that's what
the members say they miss the most is the activities. A couple weeks ago
I tried to do like a movie night and almost nobody showed up. I tried
it again on Saturday and we had like thirty people! It was a huge
success and it motivated me a lot to keep on doing activities to keep
motivating the members.
Our
investigator Lisandro, I don't know if I've already talked about him,
but he is our district president's nephew, he's always hanging out with
his son. We were teaching him and we've really been trying to focus on
him getting his answer about the Book of Mormon. But finally last week
he told us how he did it, he read and then prayed after, which has been
really hard for him to do. But he explained to us that while he was
praying he felt feelings of happiness and he could recognize that as his
answer to his prayer. Now I feel a lot better about his baptismal date
on January 21st. I'm glad we could focus on that though because I feel
like before I didn't care about them actually being converted, I just
wanted a baptism. Now I'm starting to realize more that they're more
important, that their conversion is more important. I realized I
couldn't keep working like that and then complain later that they were
less active if I didn't help them to actually get that conversion.
Oh and yes, I got a new companion, his name is Elder Aguilar, he's from Mexico.
