MAY 28, 2018

This week has been pretty fun, and honestly it has been pretty hard.  But like the hymn says, "Put your shoulder to the wheel."

This week we found ten new investigators, and a lot of them are from Venezuela. We have a part of our area called Pardo Rubio, which is one of the only places in the area that we can knock doors.   So we go there every day after lunch, because it is pretty close, and we just work all afternoon. We found a pretty cool family, of Carlos and Niurka. They have two little kids, and they were telling us about when they lost their third child. So we know that they are ready for the plan of salvation also!

Today for p-day, we had to be all morning in the airport for an elder who had to go home, and so we started at 1 pm, and we went to a Catholic church-school and had a Religious who will become a Priest explain to us how they do Misa, and how the Hierarchy of the church works. He was from Ecuador.  His name was Dennis, and he was pretty friendly. We also went because a few weeks ago a dude who lives there (a guy studying in the seminary) told us that we could stop by to teach him The Book of Mormon. Pretty interesting, but we will see how it all turns out.


This week, I would just like to share, that I have been preparing my homecoming talk since the day I left! And now that the days are fewer and fewer, I have been starting to thread together the talk. Just a few scriptures that I would like to share --  

Matthew 10:22-24 King James Version (KJV)

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

I share this scripture just because I find it pertinent to the situation of the church! We are hated, and everybody has heard something horrible about Joseph Smith. Why is it that whenever a serious crime is committed, they never add the religion of the person to the newspaper, unless they´re Mormon? Just a thought.
