Zone Conference and last meeting with President Manning
Well folks there goes one more....
So this week was full of interesting stuff.. so we have some really
good investigators, i would just like to share one of those stories
really quickly, so we were visiting with our investigator Indira, she
is 17 years old and she moved to Mala with her 14 year old sister a
year or so back because her step dad tried to do something very wrong
with her little sister so to protect her sister she came here... not
to mention that her mom wasn't even upset with her new husband so she
is still with him in Lima, anyways we were meeting with hna Indira and
she told us that her mom told her that she will not break the family
chain of Catholicism.. who know how to spell that, and then told her
that she couldn't listen to us, and then hit her, and then says other
things to ruin this girls life, and then this girl told her mom that
she is going to do what God wants her to do. And then she came to the
lesson we had with her and then after she went and was with her cousin
and a christian guy came and started talking to them and he asked her
what church she went to and she said well 'm not baptized in any church but
I am going to be baptized in the Mormon church then the guy
got all angry and was like why would you do that?? and then he was
like don't you know that Mormon means enter the gates of hell?? and she
thought to herself,, how could it have to do with that if all they
talk to me about is knowing the truth of how much God loves me.. and
so she left him there... haha that was awesome. unfortunately on
Saturday her mom and step-dad came down and told her again that she
couldn't listen to us and then they took her to Lima and every time we
have called her her step-dad answers and says she isn't there.. so we
are scared for her because she is super awesome but has so many
challenges in her life right now it is really hard for her to progress
but we know she can.. she has so much faith and just wants to follow
the truth. To be honest that was our week, we have the family of hno
Elmer and they are all a lot closer to being baptized here on the 23.
they are all awesome and they all have some really good questions and
hno Elmer is the bomb, he is there trying to help them but when he
doesn't know the answer they ask us... i am pretty sure here in a year
or so Elmer will be heading out on the mission.. he is so boss.. it is
hilarious.. I love this area and all of the people that i have had the
chance to know here in Mala.. i would love to stay here until the end
of my mission to get to see all of these people progress and know the
truth and get to accept it and be baptized in the truth. I love this
gospel and all that we get to share with the people. I know that the
spirit really does guide us when we depend on him! God does love each
one of his children and pleads them to just be obedient so that he can
bless them.. he will bless us when we are obedient but when we aren't
we don't have any promise... its as simple as that.. the gospel isn't
complex its simple so that a little child can understand it.... I love
you all so much and i love this work and being a part of this place..
