We
worked so hard this week I'm beat hahaha! But it feels good because we
found 6 new investigators that we have an opportunity to help! We also
found 2 solid potentials that will be new investigators next week and
they know the Book of Mormon is true already. Their names are Rolando
and Dora. We had 2 investigators come to church this week their names
are Desiree and Jr. They are homeless now because Desirees father kicked
them out. But they gave up living in a motel so they could be closer to
the church and come Sunday, and they did!!!!! So hyped! Also we taught
the restoration to the Gonzalez family. They are super interested and
the Mom gets emotional every time because she feel like its speaking to
her. Her name is Alma!!! Fancy that! Her kids are Luis and Sonya. They
are 13 and 17! They weren't able to come to church because the kids have soccer tournaments on the weekends so I'm not sure how we are going to
get them there. We found 3 families last night as well that want to
meet. So there is so much work going on I could send you a list of
people we have been teaching too. I have taught over 60 people here its
crazy so much work going on just people are very flakey. Hopefully next
we can get them the gift of the holy ghost.
So
crazy you are probably wondering why there is so much going on. Well
lets say president fired us up and helped us expand our vision. And
because of that people have been flooding in. We had a meeting with him Saturday morning. And because the leadership has been bagging on our
zone for such high numbers and unrealisticgoals president decided to create a
group called the Ensign Elders. He gave us the key to baptizing 6
people a month and promised us the Lord will pour our blessings for our
work and diligence. He taught us how to be directed! He said that
tracting aimlessly wont help you baptize 6 a month but relying heavily
on the Lord asking for forgiveness and praying often will do it. I can
do all things in Christ who strengthens me, that scripture just came to
my mind just now because sometimes in life We limit ourselves because we
forget that we often rely on our own flesh and the flesh of others. But
in the strength of the lord David defeated Goliath, Caleb conquered the
promise land. Nephi built a boat, the brother of Jared found light for
his vessels and Samson slayed 1000 philistines with a jawbone of an ass!
My testimony of the Lord and his strength has grown exceedingly. He can
do anything through his tools. We just have to make sure they are
sharpened. So give me this mountain!!!
We can email on mothers day at 4 my time 6 your time. I'm sending you a funny card today mom, you will like it!
I will send you a separate email answering your questions and dads cause I always forget them.
Love you
Elder brown
