This week was a rainy one. Not
much to tell apart from the two Exchanges that we did. The first one
happened on Tuesday after District meeting. I stayed in my area with
Elder Hill. No offense to Elder Graham, but Elder Hill is funnier
anyways. We walked around all day. We probably talked to 100 people and
were only able to get 2 lessons. People in the city are always colder
that in the country. That was fun, but nothing really important
happened.
On Friday we did divisions again and this time
with the Assistants. I stayed in my area with Elder Clement (a newer
assistant) and Elder Fale went with Elder Henriquez (from my District in
Lucerito). Elder Clement is a good teacher. It was raining really hard all day, but it's obvious to me the
level of obedience this guy is at, because the level of blessings is
much higher. We taught 6 lessons in the rain. That´s more that we get
when it´s dry. We also gave 4 people Baptismal dates. Unfortunately, due
to the unavailability of them all they fell, and we haven´t been able to
teach them since - but the seed is planted.
The first awesome lesson we taught was in the
morning to a Young Couple. The spirit was felt. Elder Clement taught in a
way that they understood everything. He taught the entire lesson with
Scriptures from the Book of Mormon, and I was there to back him up with
my testimony. Rodrigo and his wife accepted Fecha for 12 de mayo.
Unfortunately, they moved on Sunday. Now another set of missionaries is
going to get an awesome baptism.
The second awesome lesson was to a guy who at first didn`t
even want to talk to us. Thankfully Elder Clement was persistant and we
got in. The guy had a harder time understanding, but he was very
receptive. By the End of the Lesson he said, "I was waiting for your
visit". This guy works as a security guard, so he doesn`t have a lot of
time and he doesn`t always have sundays off, but I think if we get him
to church a couple of times he is going to get baptized. When we invited
him to get baptized on the 19th of May he said "why not".
The third awesome lesson was to a guy who was smoking outside
his house, but he let us in. He is a cop and actually is friends with a
recent convert who is also a cop. When I told the story of the first
vision he said "I felt something in my heart". He only lives here on
weekdays and goes to visit his wife and son on weekends, but For Sure we
are going to pass the reference to the other Elders, so he can go to
church with his wife. We´ll keep visiting him while he´s here though.
The other 3 lessons were good, but the people just aren`t ready yet.
Saturday
after we changed back we also had a miracle of our own when Jose Carlos
said that he got an answer and wants to be baptized. He will be
baptized May 12. He still needs to be taught some things and come to
church, but I think he gets it.
Baby it´s cold outside.
Love Ya!
Elder Zachary James Singson
