Another great week! Full of the Spirit! This week we had a Multizone meeting with the President of our mission (President Laney). We had our personal interviews with him for him to see how we are doing. Intercambios were also this week. Intercambios is when you switch who your companion is for the day. Then once again we had another two baptisms!
The Multizone meeting was so cool! I was able to meet every missionary in Cucuta. We had an inspiring lesson by President Laney on how to find more people to teach. Which is through references! References come mainly through members which means! MEMBERS please please help your ward missionaries out and give them referrals for a friend or even someone you just met but you think theyre cool and would love to hear our message, and even if you think they don't want to just tell us anyway! haha. We came back the next day on Wednesday for interviews. President Laney truly has love for each and every one of his missionaries!
Having a different companion for the day made me realize how long Im actually with Elder Quinonez haha. I actually had one of the Zone Leaders as my companion for the day his name is Elder Sanchez. He is from Mexico and learned to speak English on his mission! He wanted me to help him so we spoke in English as we walked around proselyting. One experience I loved with Elder Sanchez is when we were trying to find an address and he would go up to people and ask them if they knew where the place was. This one lady stopped us just as we were about to leave and continue on after receiving directions from here, but she stopped us and asked us who we were! I was so surprised! But she looked at me and was waiting for a response so I just started using any Spanish word that would come to my head. I told her that we were missionaries from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, and that we bring a message centered on Jesus Christ. That seemed to get her attention so i kept going. I asked her if there was a time that we could stop by and share our message with her and she said yes!!!! This was my first successful contact ever! It was so simple but it worked. This just helped me to realize that the Lord has prepared people for us to find and teach.
The two baptisms we had for Wendy Sourdis and Luisa Angarita! Its so great to see people change and start their journey back to our Heavenly Father! You can see the happiness it brought these two. Wendy and Luisa are both 14 years old and received an answer that the church is true. Every day I continue to learn how the Lord works in many different ways to help us find certain people at certain times or to ask and make promises to people at specific times. I know the Holy Ghost is our guide throughout each lesson and I know that Its him that testifies that our message is true!
I love you all!
Elder Horton
Impressions of Cucuta:
