Happy
Monday! Feels good to say that again! And happy 11 months to me... is
it even possible that I have been here for that long? I feel like just
yesterday I was at the halfway mark and now two months more have passed
by. First off, it was absolutely WONDERFUL to talk with all the family
on Mother`s day. I think one of the highlights was when Gramps said ¨Te
necesito¨ haha.. I have the greatest family!
This week has been one of our best here in Sol del
Pinar.. we finally got up to 31 lessons! It isn`t exactly as much as my
old area, but I am feeling pretty good about it! It`s definitely
progress! Also... great news.. We had investigators at church for the
first time in this area!!! I was bursting from happiness!
Monday.. we had P day as a mission! We headed to
play soccer.. we played on teams by country (of course girls separate..)
and the sisters from the U.S. won! Woohoo! Country pride! It was super
fun to be with a lot of the missionaries I have met here and be able to
catch up a little. We later had a lesson with Teolinda and Estanislao..
but we are thinking we might have to drop them as investigators for a
while because they aren`t progressing at all.. it`s pretty sad, but
maybe one day.
Tuesday we had a pretty slow day with only three
lessons and we were a little frustrated by the end. Berta doesn`t want
to commit to anything.. We talk to her about the commandments and she
understands them but it`s like they don`t apply to her and only to
others.. we aren`t sure whether we will keep teaching her or not. We
feel like lately many of the people we find only want to listen a little
bit but just don`t progress like we would like them too.. We decided to
fast and pray the next day because we were feeling pretty down.. and
then the miracles came!
Wednesday we had 6 lessons! AND we found three new
investigators that we are teaching now.. blessings come and they come
quick.. wow I have such a great testimony now of the power of fasting
and prayer! We found Yolanda and Javier who are an older couple (the
sister of Edgar). Javier isn`t super interested, but his wife is really
sweet.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday (sorry this always
happens and I run out of time..) Thursday was slow, but we did have a
short lesson with Edgar.. he`s been avaiding us for a while, but we`ll
see what happens this week. Friday we had a good lesson with Cecilia and
she told us that this next week she will come to church, yay! We also
finally found a less active family that we have been searching for for
quite a while.
Oops, just got kicked off the computer! Love you all.. more updates to come the next week! Take care!
