Hi Family

This week had some ups and downs. On the one hand, our family of investigators acepted a baptismal date. On the downside, after going strong for 3 weeks, the father of the family fell back into his alcohol addiction. Whenever something good and righteous will take place, the adversary is always trying to stop it.

We got the opportunity to help a sister in the ward decorate her Christmas tree. It`s always exciting to remember that Christmas is coming. 

We got an email from the mission president that the church will let out a Christmas video that will be played in Times Square in New York City. We also recieved instructions to give out small Christmas cards to introduce people to the gospel and help them come unto Christ. 

That`s all for this week

Hi Family

Hi Everyone,

 

This week we had our Stake Conference. The Stake president is a good man with a lot of love for the ward. Our mission president came to the Saturday Night session and gave a great talk focused on members and missionaries working together. Our 16 year-old investigator came, and felt very inspired. He said that he would like to be a missionary. After the session, he talked with the Stake president and acepted the invitation to come to seminary.

 

On Sunday, we had a very interesting session of Stake Conference. We watched a broadcast from our Area Seventy, who gave a wonderful talk about the impotance of daily scripture study. We also got to hear from Elder Neil A. Anderson. The broadcast was for our stake and a few other stakes here in México.

 

Another one of our investigators came to the Sunday session and told us that it was a wonderful conference, and that the choir was excellent.

 

Have a wonderful week,

Hi family

This week was fun. We had a nice ward activity in the stake center on El Día de los Muertos. The different rooms in the church building represented different parts of the Plan of Salvation. At the end, we had a brief explantion of Family History work. It was a big sucess. A lot of people came and participated. 

I am beginning to start giving English clases again. The numbers are small right now, but hopefully if the members begin to come and invite friends it will be sucessful venture. 

We went to a member`s house today and made brownies and Devil`s Food Cake. It was fun to have the oportunity to bake something. :)

We are also teaching a family that is progressing very well towards baptism. Right now the only challenge is that the mother of the family works on Sunday. She has been working on Saturdays and Sundays (only these two days) for many years and it is difficult to change her work schedule. She told us that she would ask her employer if she could change days, and we are fasting and praying a lot so that she can keep the Sabbath Day holy.

That`s all for this week

Have a wonderful month of November
