Great week after great week after great week. It's just really hard to have a bad week while you're out here in the mission because you're constantly progressing so when you make mistakes you learn! and you get better! I love constant progression.
My son (greenie) is doing great. He has one powerful testimony. He's a convert to the church. Everyday he wants to go out and find teach and baptize. And with that I know we're going to see a lot of success here in Yopal.
Last Wednesday was Halloween! I was pumped to go and get a little candy, but then our District Leader called us and told us to be inside before 6:30pm that night. I wasn't too sad missing Halloween since all the candy was just suckers, suckers and suckers. The people don't give out chocolate out here! What is that? If I'm a little boy running around for my sweets I'm looking for the Chocolate! Guess that's just how it is out here.
We met someone really neat during this week named Roselino Moreno. He is about 50 years old and just about the Kindest guys out here in Yopal. We found him just sitting outside his house enjoying the afternoon and as we talked with him he told us that about 2 years ago some missionaries had passed by his house and talked with him a little about the church. He told us that he wanted to learn more about us! We invited him to church and he was excited to come last Sunday. Yesterday we planned a time in the afternoon to go over and talk with him. When we showed up to his house we saw a book of Mormon laid open in his chair. He was reading a chapter that we left for him to read. (3 Nephi 11) During the lesson we focused on the importance of constantly reading and praying to know if the Book of Mormon is true so that he could receive his answer. He Look really excited to start reading! We hope to see him progress in these next coming weeks!
This Sunday was absolutely fantastic. We were able to confirm the Baptism of Carlos Cardenas and his baptismal interview. I'm so happy for him to be baptized into the Lord's true church!
There was another family that showed up to church yesterday. A less active family. They're named the Merchan Family. They have been less-Active for about 15 years. I don't know whole lot about them yet but I can't wait to get to know them this week. Their son Nicolas came up to us and said that we wants to get baptized. Darwin (the father) and Julie (the mother) invited us over to their home that night. When we arrived at there house we talked with them for only a short time because we got there so late and we got lost so many times trying to find their house. They live way way way out in the corner of our area. It's an area that I've never been to until yesterday. They want to be married and sealed in the temple for time and all eternity! First thing we have to do is help them set goals to get married first. Little by little we are going to help this family be eternal! The family consists of 5 people Darwin (dad) Julie (Mom) Nicolas (son 16 yrs old) Marthias (son 7 years old) and Bleidy (daughter 6 yrs. old).
I read a scripture that I really liked this week in Mormon 9:21. Don't forget to put your faith in the Lord first doubting nothing and you will be blessed!
Love you guys!
