HELLO! This week was great! Filled with many lessons and the Spirit!
On Tuesday we taught the Jaimes family. They have a daughter named Andrea that we received as a contact from Hermano Usmi. We've been teaching her the lessons and she's been interested to learn more. For this visit with her family we taught the Plan of salvation. The most important principle that we teach in this lesson is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Andrea has many problems in her past that she's been looking to get off of her chest. I couldn't wait to share with her La Expiaciòn de Jesus Cristo. Elder Quiñonez and I taught her that since Christ suffered for our sins in the garden of Gethsemane he knows how we feel when we make a mistake. We told her that as we pray for forgiveness and strive to keep and follow Gods commandments that he will bless us will feelings of peace and happiness. That the feelings of guilt and sadness wont be with us anymore. We left the Jaime's family with an invitation to pray about the plan of salvation to know if this truly is the plan for our lives.
There was a missionary activity this week with all of the primary kids. They helped us invite people to come to church on Sunday! It was so awesome, all of the jovencitos were organized into companionships with plaques and everything. We had two companionships of sisters with us. We would start by knocking on the door and introducing everyone and then these little sisters would invite our investigators to come to church. They ended with a scripture that they all memorized in 3 Nephi 22:13 about how all of Gods Children will hear the word of the Lord. One of the sisters went the extra mile and asked for their address and telephone number haha! After we ran out of invitations we headed back to the church and thanked our Hermana's for helping us for the day!
This Sunday we had ward conference, which means the stake president and his counselors were all there. Many new assignments were given to new members. After the 3rd hour all of the people with callings in the church met in the chapel and we had a meeting with the stake president. He taught all of the parents how they could balance their time of family, work, and their callings. I don't have those right now but it was still great to learn haha. We helped the Sourdis family move to a different house today. They were moving just right down the street, but its closer to where they work so life would be a lot easier on them. What was interesting was actually moving all of the stuff into their new home. The house was a second story home with a twirling staircase to get to their door. We decided to make an assembly line which made things a lot smoother with getting items into the house. That was until they brought out the big guns. They had a refrigerator that we somehow had to get into there house. The best course of action was to get as many people under at first to keep it stabilized while moving up the stairs. This worked great until we got to the part of the stairs where it started to twirl. Unfortunately I was the one stuck in the middle right under the refrigerator. Luckily I was strong enough to grip the bottom and lift it very quickly before I got crushed haha! ENTONCES...All is well in there new house now and we celebrated with fresh bread from the bakery and Postobon soda!
Love you all and pray for you always!
Love, Elder Horton
