This week was our zone conference with our Mission President. Something that I loved from the conference was focusing on recent converts. There are a lot of recent converts that go less-active quickly. Our Mission President told us that we need to see our investigators in white, but not just standing in the baptismal font, but in the temple being sealed for time and all eternity. That should always be our goal, because after all that is the purpose for why we are here preaching this gospel!
During the zone conference Sister Valladares (President's wife) reminded me about my Birthday. She gave me a bag full of candy!
During the week we looked for old teaching records in our area book, and we came across Emy Hernandez. She seems pretty cool. Her brother Xavier also was able to listen to us. He's in the Army though and had to travel. I love finding people that are really receptive in our area book. It's full of names of people that had been listening to the missionaries. Sometimes it doesn't have the reason why the missionaries stopped teaching a certain person. Those are the people that I love to look for. Emy simply told us that the missionaries hadn't passed by for a long time. This Sunday she's made plans to come to church with us.
On Sunday we had a lesson with Alma Martinez and her daughter Laura. They are ready to be baptized, but they want to be as ready as ready can be. We haven't been able to put a baptismal date simply because we can't meet with them very often. They only have time on Sunday's. This Sunday, they asked us a whole bunch of questions. They asked what a Family night was, they also asked for a Come-Follow me Booklet so they can start studying it! They are so engaged when they came to church each Sunday. They love to participate during the classes.
Brazil and Peru played in the championship game for the American world Cup. Peru ended up losing 1-3. My companion was bummed out big time. Elder Moya is a huge soccer fan.
Other than that I learned how to make a new Dessert called Arroz con leche. In English it's Rice Pudding!
Hope that your weeks are as wonderful as you!
