IT'S A LOT SLOWER WITHOUT A BIKE...
October 25, 2017
Dear Family,
This week was a bit slow. We had two chapel open houses so, basically, we lost two days of work. In addition, being on foot is neat (bikes can be a headache sometimes) but also slow because we live 30 minutes from our sector, so it's more time lost.
Anyway, Silvia is doing very well! We taught her the Word of Wisdom and she understood it very well and agrees with it. Really she agrees with everything that the Church believes in because it just all makes sense to her and many things from all the other Churches she has investigated do not. I'm thinking we're going to have to help her obtain a stronger spiritual testimony but where she is at right now is great. She's been going at it with her reading and she said she's going to stop smoking. This next lesson we'll set some goals with her.
We've been trying to find a chance to teach María and her family but she's been busy and we haven't had much time available when she's not busy either. We're hoping to see them this week.
This week in Church we (the ward mission leader, my companion and me) were all asked to give talks about the missionary work in the ward and hopefully get more involvement from the members and more references. I gave a talk on misconceptions and principles about being a member missionary. I think it went pretty well. We'll be visiting members to come up with plans on how to work with friends and acquaintances to get more references.
A new member moved into our ward who was baptized not too long ago and is a little inactive but wants to come back! He invited us over for lunch and is pretty cool. He had a HUGE library of blu-ray dvds and lent us Interstellar so we could see it today! He even gave us a reference for the woman whose house he's renting right now!
Things are going pretty well over all. It's getting pretty hot but we're just truckin' along. This next week should be a lot better. Also, next week we have a Zone Conference and then another conference with the entire mission combined with the entire Santiago West mission over in their mission, so that should be crazy! Maybe there'll be a new reveal, who knows?
That was pretty much my week. Not a lot, I know, but that's because I didn't feel there was tons to write about yet! Anyway, I love you all and hope you have a great week!
-Elder Sierra
