This week has been great! We are teaching a couple named Miguel and Raquel and they are so great! I have really come to appreciate the value of working with members. If it weren't for the testimonies of the members I don't think that we would have had as much progress with them. They promised to come to church yesterday, but no luck. However, I think it is the fact that our church starts at 9. If you think that waking up 7 for church as a member is hard, imagine doing it if you are an investigator. It's super rough. It takes a lot of faith as well. I just want them to be able to come and see how the Spirit is. I know that it can help them so much! We have an appointment with them tonight and we are bringing the ward mission leader with us. I'm super stoked!
We've also been trying to work with the members a lot more lately. Whether they are in our ward or in the English ward. We went to the house of the Carreno's this week and taught them about fasting. We shared experiences and bore testimony and them Hermano-who is in the obispado-and he told us some of the most touching experiences about fasting and it really was able to help them both share their testimony and we committed them to share it with other people.
We also met the Fernandez family in the English ward. Hermano Fernandez served in New Mexico just a few years before Dad did. Cool huh? They are some of the most amazing people that I have ever met. We shared a message with them about recognizing the Spirit and it was super powerful! Seriously, I loved it :) I have really been underestimating the power of using members more...we are making an effort to get to know more of them.
Well, I love you all tons and I am doing the best that I know how to do. I don't want it to be a "surge" for the end. I just want to keep working as hard as I have my whole mission. As a friend recently put it, Forever Strong Kia Kaha! LOVE YOU!
Love, Hermana Freestone
