Well no interesting escapades this week to any place fancy BUT the Elders did have a wedding Friday and our branch had 4 baptisms Saturday! One of which was... ELDER!!!!! :D I'm very happy for him.
President wants for us to report on how many families we are teaching. We found a family to teach the next day and taught them yesterday. Today, I found out why. President says that we can't split the branch until we have 6 strong families. I hope I don't get pulled out of Sal until it's split. I'm a one determined missionary. Let me just tell you!
We have plans to focus on an inactive family we found a while back. Today on the way to buy groceries we found another member of their family that we hadn't met! Turns out there is alot of this family on the church records! The mom has a daughter that was never baptized that we have been teaching too. She came to church with her inactive brother yesterday. :) I really like them alot. :)
We're just trying to do our best with what resources we have and what time we have. I'm so grateful that the Lord is helping us out. This would be impossible without him. The members sometimes teach a little bad during our lessons and we have to clarify what they say. And we don't have time to stop by all 17 of our investigators' houses to wake them up for church. And sometimes on Sunday a lesson lasts 2 hours and We have to skip lunch to make our next appointment.
Listen up kiddos, missions are hard. And they're stressful. And sometimes you eat a whole pan of cookies because you are just so stressed out...... But when you can see what a difference it makes in someone's life that you sacrificed something for one day so they could learn how to be closer to our Heavenly Father, it's worth everything. Everything and more.
The Family we taught yesterday, the mom said, "Well that makes sense!" Inside, I just wanted to scream with joy, "YES! YES! That's because it's true! It's all true! All of it!!!" :) I'm excited for our next visit with them. :)
In other news, my camera was stolen on Friday. Elder Barker so kindly took pictures of our baptism Saturday, but I'm afraid no more fun pictures for a while. But Since we are teach a gang, one of them has a friend, that has a friend that might know where to find/buy stolen cameras. So we'll see if anything turns up. Someone during the wedding climbed up the stairs to the relief society room and stole them out of our backpacks, The keys to our house were inside my camera case.... SOOO we've been sleeping with our kitchen knives next to our bed until we get the locks changed today. For any of you Book of Mormon saavy folks read Ether 5:12. ahahahah.
The last thing I'd like to share is just how much I LOVE my family. I got to talk to them yesterday. :) I want them to know I love them more than the WORLD! :)
Com Amor,
