This Week was Full!

Wow, what a tiring week. I don´t think I have ever had such a rushed week, in my entire mission! I´ve never seen my planner full of visits everyday, there wasn´t a single white spot on my schedule. We were running all over the place. Things have been going really well for us this transfer. We have been receiving so much help from the members and everything is going fantastic.

So to start things off, we were able to receive many new references this week from the members. As I said before they are helping out a lot. We have been receiving at least 3 new references per day this week, and we have found a lot of new people to teach because of this. We have met up with a woman, who is a less active member. She loves the church, but her only reason for leaving was because she got a little lazy with going, like she lost the will to go to church. But after talking with her a little we are starting to get her to come back. We are also wanting to talk to her family because 3 of her kids have the age for baptism, they are all super great people. I think we will move forward with them.

We had a visit with F and he was talking with his brother who is living in Canada. It was really interesting because he was speaking in english. He talked a lot about the Money Mafia or something like that which made absolutely no sense to me. But the talk with F went well. He is starting to get very lazy in doing commitments. We might be cutting him this week, because this is the third time he has said he was going to come to church and it is the third time that he hasn´t come. So we´ll see what happens there.

This week we had a Family Home Evening with my mom of the ward. We call her mom because she is always calling us her kids. But it went really well. We were able to leave a good message with some of her neighbors and get to know them a little better. We left a message that talked about the many distractions in life, and how that the gospel of Christ is the only way we can return to live with our Heavenly Father. They liked it a lot and we will be planning more of these Family Home Evenings more in our weeks to come. Or week to come because transfers are happening this next week. So we will see if I leave or stay.

Another cool thing that happened this week, was that my newly baptized convert I blessed the Sacrament yesterday. He is progressing so well and I love watching his progress. That was a super awesome moment.

But yep, that´s all for the week. Hope that all of you are doing well in your lives. Keep on moving on strong in your lives. Love you all! Have a great week!
