So this week has been really good. It felt a little bit longer than normal but that´s ok because it went well :)
The first and best thing that happened was we had a lesson (well lots of lessons) with JD. He has had a pretty messed up life but he´s is so willing to change and figure things out. We taught him in the home of a member on Tuesday and we committed him to be baptized and he said yeah but he wanted to make sure to have his life in order first and THEN he said he wants to serve a mission! woah total 180! He is so awesome. I think of him as my own brother.
Earlier in the day we were in San Juan and we found out that someone we contacted that happened to be a inactive member was looking for people to work for him and JD was looking for a job so we asked if we could bring him by and they said yes. So Wednesday we took him and now he has a job! This kid is on the right track for real! We have his baptism scheduled for this Saturday. One of his friends that he lives with named R is going to baptize him so that is awesome as well.
This week we also taught L . She is still really receptive so that is good. She´s a lot happier than the last time that we were teaching her. She knows that the church is true but she keeps saying she´s not ready to be baptized. We don´t want to pressure her because that´s what happened last time. At least now she is receptive and coming to church..well this Sunday she didn´t come but she´ll come next week. We taught B (Hno. P´s not wife) and she is receptive but I think we´re not going to teach her as often seeing as she can´t really progress if her and Hno. P aren´t married. I really hope they get everything worked out with his other wife.
We also taught S about the Book of Mormon but her husband wasn´t there when we taught. She said they would try to come to church but they didn´t make it. On Saturday we met the daughter of one of our recent converts and we are going to start teaching her too. We also found two families that are really awesome and seem really interested in the gospel. They could possibly be "escogidos." One of the families can only have lessons on Saturdays though but we´re going to keep going to teach them to really find out if they are interested. The other is a husband and his wife and they have 2 young children. They´re a young couple and seem interested in learning more about the church.
Yesterday we taught JG. She is the mom of one of our members and she has been kind of upset because her brother died a little while ago. We taught her the Book of Mormon and said that because the church was restored and we have the Book of Mormon, we have the knowledge of the plan of salvation (which we had already taught but we touched on it a little bit more to help her cope).
Other things...we were contacting and I knocked on the door of some baptist missionaries...they weren´t very nice. It was a bunch of teenagers that answered. Too bad for them they don´t have the true gospel..haha
Pday was great. Hna Gainor made corn chowder and it made me miss you mommy! haha after that we went back to the house and slept! My favorite pday so far :) Also thank you for sending the pictures :)
