Week 38
With less restrictions from COVID, we are now able to contact however we want. Here in this area there are rarely people in the streets so we have taken to knocking on doors. We have had some interesting conversations, 2 in particular. One neighbor went to ask his neighbor if they were interested in learning more about God, and they said they believed in Satanás. Don't they know there are always 2 sides. We also talked to someone else who believed that the good and the bad were the same being and that this being is literally in all the things. Let's just say we had a great conversation, and tried clearing up how our Heavenly Father has a body like us and gave us agency, but it's a lot to take in in just one visit. We hope this person will slowly come to know the truth.
We had a great multi-zone conference this week as well as Elder Godoy from the area presidency visiting our weekly mission study zoom call on Friday. In our zone conference we talked about the importance of counting. The Lord counts his sheep to be able to save them all. And with Elder Godoy we talked about how we can teach the gospel with power through the Holy Ghost.
We have been trying to get people to come to church, and let's just say es duro. But I am thankful to have learned a little bit more about how Christ felt when the joven rico (the rich young ruler) couldn't give up the world to follow him. Christ suffered and suffers so much for us, and still he forgives us and helps us.
We have been talking to many members and all want to have activities, but it is the actual act of having the activity that is challenging. soon! We hope this will help bring back less active members because when we can, we keep contacting less active members that members refer and they always seem to have a desire to come back, but there is something standing in the way.
I got to try a new food here in Costa Rica. It's called Chifrijo. It has chicharrón, chicharrón de concha, rice, beans, avocado, tortilla chips, and pico de gallo. It was quite good and this featured down below in the pictures.
2 Nephi 33:1
"And now I, Nephi, cannot write all the things which were taught among my people; neither am I mighty in writing, like unto speaking; for when a man speaketh by the power of the Holy Ghost the power of the Holy Ghost carrieth it unto the hearts of the children of men."
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton
