Week 77
We had a great lesson with the family who is on date. I have seen such a change with them. It is slow, but as we were talking about faith I was surprised the the sister quoted all that it says in alma 32 about how faith is like a little seed.
We invited many friends as well as less active members to come to church, but none of them came. A member did surprise us by bringing her non member brother. We hope to coordinate schedules to be able to share with him. A returned missionary in the ward let us visit her and as we asked her about her mission she got a little teary eyed and told us they we should "keep moving forward." I thought it was very applicable to the mission and the life after.
We found a new friend who wants to overcome her adiccion to smoking and we have a lot of hope for her. Sadly with another friend we tried doing the invitación suave and she said that she would never have interest in being baptized again because she was already baptized. And after trying to do as we have practiced we felt that she's not interested in the moment if she is not even willing to ask God if she needs to be baptized again. It was an interesting experience. But we are still hopeful there is someone ready to accept a date and prepare to be baptized in the coming months.
Wednesday and Thursday we had exchanges with the sisters in Los Yoses. I went to Los Yoses with Hna. Murillo. I absolutely loved being able to follow the spirit as we taught. Because I didn't know them well I really had to depend on the spirit to teach what I felt they need and I loved it. I also loved talking with hna murillo and getting to know her better. She really does love being a missionary and helping others come closer to christ.
Some fun laughs this week:
- On Monday we went to Volcán Irazu and on the way back we got a flat tire... but luckily my companion knew how to fix it!
- during exchanges we are walking into a members house and one sister comes around the corner with a big cake in her hand and starts singing me happy birthday day! Haha but the sister who had just had her birthday was on exchanges in Montes de Oca🤭
Anyway, we got a fun crazy week planned and I look forward to finishing my last transfer strong!
Alma 32: 27-28
"But behold, if ye will awake and arouse your faculties, even to an experiment upon my words, and exercise a particle of faith, yea, even if ye can no more than desire to believe, let this desire work in you, even until ye believe in a manner that ye can give place for a portion of my words.
Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me."
Que hermosa esa explicación de la fe. Cuando tenemos fe en Ceisto aceptamos y aplicamos Su expiación y Sus enseñanzas!
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton ❤️
