Hello Family!
This week was really good...we have seen a lot of progress with our
investigators and we also were able to find lots of new investigators that are
really prepared to receive the gospel!
Friday was Carlos Camacho's birthday so we celebrated with a really delicious chocolate cake! We let him keep the half of the cake we didn't eat which I am really regretting lately.
Yesterday, he received the Aaronic Priesthood and was also called as the 1st Counselor of the Young Men's Presidency. There is only one active young man in the branch for now but soon there will be more!
Aracely Martinez and Familia Tejerina went to church yesterday which means
they will be baptized this Saturday! We are really excited and tonight we have a
family home evening planned with all 5 of them and another family in the
branch.
This week I was able to feel love for some of our new investigators in
really incredible ways. Yesterday we had a lesson with some Seventh Day
Adventists, who believe that Saturday is the Sabbath day. It was my first lesson
with someone of this religion and it wasn't very productive because they just
kept talking about the Sabbath day and wouldn't let us talk about anything else.
I was just trying my best to end the lesson respectfully and testify a little
bit of the message of the restoration. At one point while the husband was
talking, I decided to look into his eyes, and in that moment, Heavenly Father
let me feel so much love for Him and all I could think about was how much God
loves him and how sad He is that one of His children is lost and needs to be
guided back.
As missionaries we talk with a lot of people and its not always
easy to feel that love, but we just have to remember how much every person means
to Him!
Love you all and hope your week is great!
Elder Harris
