Hey guys! We had a great week! We taught very few lessons in people´s
homes because almost all of our appointments fell through this week. But
we talked with a ton of people in the street. I started to get a little
bit discouraged because we weren´t finding anyone to teach and we
hadn´t brought anyone new to the church in a few weeks. But we had a lot
of opportunities to learn how to be persistent with the people we
contact and do all that we can to share our message with them even when
they are a little hesitant to listen to us. On Saturday we met a family
and we invited them to church. They said they wanted to go so we said
that we were going to come by half an hour early to pick them up. We did
and an excuse came up and they said they were going to go by themselves
but a little bit late, but we just waited for them to be able to bring
them to church. We ended up arriving at church 30 minutes late, but at
least they came! and we have an appointment with them on wednesday.
Yesterday there was a multi stake conference broadcast for all the
stakes in Peru and Bolivia. They really liked it!
Also
on Friday we visited Lucio and Sulema to invite them to a stake
activity for married couples. They really didn´t want to go because they
were going to have to wake up early the next day. We asked them when
was the last time the two of them went out to do something fun without
their children. They said 15 years. And when they said that they
realized that they needed to go. and the other ward members that were
there said that they looked like they were having a good time. Also they
went to a stake devotional yesterday for married couples. Elder Godoy
(an Area Seventy from our ward) and president Larson both spoke with
their wives. We hope that it helped them. They are so ready. Their
daughter in Utah was baptized on saturday.
I hope you guys have a great week.
Elder Jones
