¡Hola!
Elder Ortega and I went to the Casa de Cultura (culture house) and
took some pics
This week was great. I had divisions with Elder Gonzalez to see if two of
their investigators are ready to be baptized and both of them are going to
baptized this week! All they have to do is cover a few certain points with them
and then I'll interview both of them.
Elder Ortega and I are going to have two baptisms this change. One of them
is Oscar Reyes. He's changed sooo much since we met him and started teaching
him. He's honestly probably one of my best investigators I've had on my mission.
He truly has a desire to learn and to repent of all his sins. We've really come
to be his friends and once he gets baptized I know that the Lord will richly
bless him as continues forward in the path of the Gospel.
The other possible is Inez Hernandez. The only thing that's preventing her
from being baptized is her fear towards her family. Her family is all Catholic
and they live in a city called Ilobasco except her sister Raquel who's the
oldest and a member and lives here in Ciudad Delgado. Honestly the mom and the
family shouldn't be too much of a problem especially because she's supported
Hermana Raquel since she joined the church and even attended her sealing in the
waiting room of the temple. She's also had experienced the miracles and
blessings of the Restored Gospel with the missionaries. For example, she was
sick in the hospital once and couldn't eat anything, but the Elders arrived and
gave her a blessing and the same day she left the hospital and was able to eat.
We're still working with Inez, but I know that with our faith, prayers, fasting,
diligence, and obedience that she'll overcome her fear and be baptized.
On Saturday we continued with the Soccer Tournament, but two teams didn't
show up so the other two won by default. While we were there we got a call from
a sister in the ward to go and give a blessing to a non-member. We got there and
they explained to us that the daughter has epilepsy and that they took her to
the doctor in the morning and ran all kinds of tests and everything came out
fine. As a result of the epilepsy she's had emotional problems. When they got
home, as the time passed she started to get mad and thought that her family was
talking about her and that they hated her. Then, all of a sudden, she slipped
into a deep depression. When we got there she was trembling and saying over and
over "Ya no tengo nada" (I don't have anything anymore). I was touched by the
situation and felt compassion for them. We gave her an anointing and blessing
and after we prayed and fasted for her. They're probably going to take her to
see a psycologist. I know that everything will be fine though.
The Sisters had an activity in their ward and we watched the movie Meet the
Mormons. If you haven't seen it you should.
Yesterday we had a training meeting for our two wards and our Zone Leaders
came and taught them. I know that as we continue working together we'll hasten
this work!
¡Levántate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
Love,
Elder San Diego
We ordered Wendy's...yum!
