Week 15 in San Sebastian

Hello Everyone!!!

 

It has been a really long and rainy week and our preparation day greeted us with the sun...finally!!!! It has been raining pretty much nonstop all week. Pretty depressing. There is a girl in our ward here that is from England and she says that this is so much worse than it is in London. But even with the rain, San Sebastian is still incredibly gorgeous. 

 

We have had some interesting miracles and other great things happen this week. We have really just been working our butts off like crazy and have really been seeing the fruits of lots of that work. It has been really great. 

 

Our investigator Saul is still going to be baptized on the 7th of November and even though it is on a Wednesday, the whole ward is going to do all they can to make it happen on a Wednesday. So we are really excited about that. 

 

We also were able to set a baptismal date goal with our investigator Juan. He is our investigator that has been coming to church forever but did not want to meet with the missionaries at all. Well, with lots of help from our wonderful ward mission leader, we were able to meet with him and we had a really great and powerful lesson with him. He is going to try to prepare to be baptized on the 17 of November. He is really a great guy. He just has some holdups with committing to anything until he knows everything about it. So he has about a million questions about our church and Joseph Smith and doesn´t want to do anything until he receives all that information, so it is really amazing that he was able to set a goal date. 

 

We are in the process of tracking down all the Less-active members in our ward and visiting all of them. The process is long and hard, but we are making our way through our ward list. I ended up having to give a talk in church this last Sunday. I knew more or less what I wanted to say, but not all of it came out. I wasn´t supposed to speak until this next Sunday, but since one of the speakers didn´t show up, they asked me to do it right then. It turned out fine because luckily the spirit did as it promises and gave me all the things to say. It is amazing how that happens. I love the power of the Spirit.

Well, we found some new investigators this week. We were passing by old investigators and this one house just let us up without even asking who was there. So they invited us in and we had an amazing lesson about the Book of Mormon. The woman, Sonia, could basically recount the whole Restoration to us, but she did not understand the need for the Book of Mormon and said that she was fine with just the Bible. So after we had a really powerful lesson about the Book of Mormon, she said that she really understood and was intrigued by it and wanted to start reading it. Her and her husband Hernan seem really open and we are excited to keep teaching them. 

 

It was a very busy week, and this week is looking even busier. Wish us luck! And
keep Saul, Juan, Sonia, and Hernan in your prayers. 

 

Talk to you all next week. 

 

Love always,
