** Last week, Steven sent a private email, so nothing for here**
THIS WEEK:
I'm super excited, cause next week we are going to have a baptism. This will be the first one that I've had for 4 months! (which is a really long time, especially in this mission.) Her name is Sister Gaby, and she is super great. Her mom is a less active member, and even though she doesn´t have the desire to go to church right now, she is supporting Sister Gaby. The ward members have been working really hard to make her feel welcome and comfortable in the church, which is super great!
I'm not sure if it´s a thing in the states, but at least here in Central America, the church is runing an iniciative called "ilumina el mundo" I believe in English it's called light the world. But our goal is to have a family home evening every day leading up to Christmas in which the members invite a friend who isn't a member of the church, and we (the missionaries) get to meet them and invite them to take the missionary lessons. But the best part is that the whole ward has become super excited about missionary work. All of the sudden they love giving us referals and teaching their friends with us! I have honestly never seen the church members so excited about missionary work, it is really awesome.
Another interesting thing that I´ve noticed is that we have to help the members a lot so that they aren't afraid to participate in missionary work. Satan is really good at stopping us from sharing the gospel just by making us a little afraid of doing it. So we just need to learn to recognize when Satan is trying to stop us from doing something good, and not let him win.
I love you all keep being awesome!
