We had a great week! Today for Pday basically all we are going to do is help Richard and Wudullnara (the parents of Leonardo and Gabriel) with their marriage WHICH IS SATURDAY. And Richard is getting baptized on Sunday, and his 18 year old son Rogger is getting reactivated and will be ordained as a priest on Sunday, and then baptize his father a few hours later. So this week is going to be a little crazy trying to get all the forms and certifications ready but I know we can do it! Keep them in your prayers because this family is seriously the best.
We`ve been working with Laura and Miguel and Laura still really really wants to get baptized, so we`ve been talking about a marriage in July. We also reactivated Miguel yesterday, and he`s doing so much better and their family has much fewer problems. Honestly the best way to help a family is through the application of gospel principles. They are so much happier.
We also have so many less actives that we are working with, too. Yesterday we had 14 less actives attend church. And all of them are going to get reactivated this month. We`re going to the temple on May 20th (the day after transfers) and we`re preparing all the people that are going to be reactivated before that day to bring a family name to the temple. We`re also working with all the recent converts, including the ones that will be baptized before the 20th to bring names to the temple. There is so much family history work to do with the recent converts and reactivated that we would definitely feel overwhelmed if the ward wasn`t helping us so much.
There was a ward activity on Friday and it was a huge success. Almost every member came with a friend and we met at family of 10 that are really good friends with president Huapaya (the counselor of my mission president who lives in my area). We have a family home evening with them tonight.
There is seriously so much work to do. We are finding so many prepared people and the members are helping us out so much. That`s the only way to go in missionary work, with the members.
I had such a great week and I can`t wait to talk to you guys on Sunday!
