Week 50
This week started out crazy! Monday nights we have a mission meeting over zoom and the past Monday our president wasn't in the zoom call. The following day we learned that our President would be flying to Salt Lake so that his wife could do some tests. Then an hour later we learned that we would be receiving a new president for a day and a few more while President Johnson is in the states. So on Wednesday we had zone conference with our new President and his wife. President and Hermana Mora. They just finished serving in Honduras as mission president.
Gerik keeps progressing to his baptism and we loving seeing how the whole family is returning to church! We found 2, maybe 3 and maybe even more new people by calling gray dots (people who have been taught in the past) this past week. We are excited to see if they are ready to progress. We were also given a member referral. Thus member had met someone at the bust stop and years ago she was talking to the missionaries and was almost baptized, but because of a few doubts she didn't. We hope to help her clear up her doubts soon.
We received someone in Equipo de los sueños and when we messaged them to set up a lesson they responded back saying they wanted to be baptized and maybe their daughter too! What?! Their direction was Costa Rica in the area book so we thought that it would be so cool if they lived here in Tres Ríos but we were hoping for at least our mission. Then we invited her to church quickly and she sent a message saying she lives here in Tres Ríos. Last night we got to call and have a lesson with her and she accepted a baptismal date. It was cool because she had been looking to be baptized for the past year because she still hasn't been baptized and she told us about how in the past few months she has been making changes to her life to be closer to God. Then she saw our announcement about baptism in facebook! We are excited to have her in the area, but will probably be passing her off to the other sisters because she actually lives in their part of Tres Ríos. Haha a little sad but we got to be a part of the miracle!
Alma 40:3
"Now, I unfold unto you a mystery; nevertheless, there are many mysteries which are kept, that no one knoweth them save God himself. But I show unto you one thing which I have inquired diligently of God that I might know—that is concerning the resurrection."
I love how Alma teaches us to receive our own personal revelation here. This past week in our zone conference, with what is happening with hna. Johnson, we talked a lot about specific prayers, praying for miracles with specifics. With diligence He will help us see the miracles He is working in our lives.
And here's a little joke from Presidente Mora:
"Si quieres hacer reír a Dios, cuéntale tus planes." ("If you want to make God laugh, tell Him your plans" hehe that's a good one huh)
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton
