Crumpkins....
Well, glad I can write you all another week!
Mission life has just become the way of life for me and it’s strange to think
time is coming to a close. I have been trying to take advantage of these last
days as much as possible and we have been working super hard.
This week we had the baptism of Marcela Choto,
which was awesome. Despite the fact that members made fun of her, her Dad didn’t
even show up to her baptism and her mom still refuses to go to church, she did
it. She reads a ton of the Book of Mormon, does her personal progress and
really is one of the most humble people I have known in my time here. I was
super happy for her and hope she can achieve everything she hopes in the
church. It has also been awesome to work a lot with the family Olmos that are
the family that brought Marcela to church. They are converts and everything but
already have testimonies so strong and try to share the gospel with everyone.
This week we cleaned up the
streets of where we lived. It’s always
great to do service... Everyone passes by and looks at us like, what are you
doing? You guys clean streets as well as teach the gospel?? Haha, but It’s nice
because then people let us in their house more often because they have seen us
working and helping out.
So...besides that, this
week was actually pretty hard. We are struggling to find new people and are
contacting a ton. My area is rather small and you can cross the whole thing in
less than 10 minutes so it’s a little difficult at times. We have found every
single young man and priesthood holder in the church directory and are running
out of ideas for finding, but hopefully this week we can see some more miracles
and find people! I’m just glad I have the chance to work as a servant of God
here, even though there are always some rough times!
Love y’all so much!! Until
next week!!
