-Una
vez fui a un restaurante que solo vendia segundos. Este lugar no tenia
mucho exito. Toda la gente solo se quedaba afuera. Y por que? [One time there was a restaurant that only
sold seconds. They didn’t have much
success. All of the people waited outside. And why?]
--Porque no habia
entrada! [Because there wasn’t an entrance/entrée.]
It seems to be a good
hit here. Thank you, language study.
Well, hello, family! We
had a pretty good week here. We knocked a lot of doors, found a lot of
people...and, of yeah, remember Jean, the dentist that has been an investigator
for a long time? He's a member now! I know that I didn't bring any
evidence with me to prove that he actually got baptized, but I think you can
all trust me on this one. He is really a great guy that EVERYONE thought
was already was a member. Seriously. We were making phone calls to
tell everyone about his baptism after he passed the interview, and they almost
always said, "Wait, that guy’s not a member?" Well, give him
two days and he will be. He was the type to wear suits to church even
before getting baptized, so I guess he was able to slip under the radar.
We are looking hard to
find other people in the area. Our area is actually the smallest I've
ever had on my mission, so it's given me the opportunity to work differently
now. One day after planning, while I was on my bed preparing to do my pre-10:30
power nap, I asked my companion, "Elder Feller, where are the families we
are going to baptize?" After pausing, he said, "Mercurio."
I said the same. In the course of this week, we have decided to
essentially never work anywhere else. Honestly, we are obsessed with that
place. It was a bit strange, because on Saturday, after tracting, one man
let us in, who we later realized was the uncle of another man we had taught a
week before. We are seeing that things are starting to come together over
there.
And, a less active
family we were teaching came to church, to our surprise. I had the
husband talk to the bishop and now he has a plan to baptize his son in
November! So please pray for the Rojas family.
Love you all!
Elder Johnson
