This week Elder Hope and I had
a great week! We had a great week with our investigators most all of them were at home when we came by which is amazing
because most Dominican's say they will be there but then something happens and they
are not. When we comeback they give us an
explanation on why they weren’t there.. ha most of them lie and you can tell
when they do because they are not good liars. We always want to call them out
on it but we can’t because we need to be nice.. haha which is a good thing
because I like being nice to the Dominican's!! Haha
they are my people that I am here to serve.
This week was full of really
spiritual lessons then we had some run in's with some Evangelico's and had a
little bible bashing's. I hate to talk bad on the Evangelico’s but I think
they believe in their bible more than Jesus Christ.. Our first run in with the
Evangelico's was with one of our investigators. We look at each other as they are walking up and say
"Bueno" because they just had the look on their face like they meant
bussiness.. ha This guy was telling us that we weren’t men of God and that we
are big time sinners for what we are doing. Then he told us that we need to
come to his church and repent so your sins are free.. haha and this is all he
said before we could even say a word to him. We
called him Hermano ohhhhh man he didn’t like that. He said ohh no we are not
Hermanos we’re not even close to Hermanos because you are a sinner and pretty much
saying that he was perfect. After a little bit of bible bashing we stopped
talking to him and told our investigator we'll come by tomorrow when we can
feel the spirit because I can’t feel it right now. She understood
and was totally fine with it. We had 2 other ones but they weren't as bad as
this one that I told you.
Anyways more with our great
week, we found 19 new investigators this week. That is apart from our activity
that we had for references. As a district we got 36 references. It’s already hard to fit everyone
that we have on our agenda for the day and now we have to fit a lot more
people. So this coming week is going to be a little difficult with planning our
19 new investigators and the 36 more references. So this coming week is going
to be a lot of walking and figuring out what is the best way to fit all these
people on our little time that we have to work.
The Activity went really
well but really weird at the same time because my companion and I got split up and he went with a member
and I went with another member.
So it was really weird not to have a missionary on my side teaching but it was
a lot of fun because then you can really say what you want and go with the
flow. So that was cool I met several new people and a lot of
inactive members that I had no idea about in our ward.
This week I was
reading in D&C 68:25 and I used this scripture a lot this week.
It talks about where the best place to practice the gospel at is in the FAMILY.
Because when they get to the age of 8 that is when they can start making their
own decisions and start figuring out their life and they can get baptized at
the age of 8. It’s the best place to put the principles of the gospel early in
the kid’s lives and they can live the gospel growing up. I congratulate everyone that has taught
the gospel in their homes and with
a young family. The central part of God’s plan
is to have a family and teach his teaching! I am grateful for my life and I want
to thank my mom for teaching the gospel while I was young because who knows where I would
be right now.
I want to leave a challenge with everyone that reads this email to
have more prayers as a family and maybe before you do this try sharing a little
scripture. Because I know if you do this your family will
become closer together. I understand it might be hard to find the time when
everyone is home or maybe even the time at all but it will take 10 minutes out of the day
maybe even less. I know the spirit will be more in your life and that your day will go smoother. It will bring so much more happiness in your day.
Thank you for all
your support and the many prayers. I am so blessed to be serving the Lord right
now and there is nothing I want to be doing in my life than this!
I love the mission and love you all. Have a great week and keep pushing with
the gospel!!
Love,
Elder Medrano
