This week was kind of fantastic! It snowed here and was pretty cold, but the work was fantastic! We started out pretty good but it just got better as we went on.
Monday- Not much exciting actually happened, but the work goes on
Tuesday- We had a way cool lesson with Hector and another young man who lives in the house named Luis! It is cool to see how the Spirit is influencing the whole house.
Wednesday- The sisters had a bit of a change up, but we had the wonderful opportunity to bike because it wasn't too cold. The wind just about killed us and knocked us off our bikes! We finally ended up watching Joseph Smith Prophet of the Restoration with Hector at Saida's house. The only problem was that Hector was tired and also spiritually worn out because his family had pressured him into drinking. He felt so bad, but in the end I think it made an impact on his family because they afterwards saw how bad he felt and decided not to ever force him to do it again. Interesting things happen, but in the end I think his resolve was strengthened. And, we didn't even have to put him on date again, our branch mission leader was super on top of it and has been helping him have work. As they have been working together, they have gotten a lot closer and it is just cool to see how the Lord works.
Thursday- Everything falls through and I had asked the Lord to let us know where we needed to go, and that we needed an investigator to call us back and confirm his appointment because it is a long drive to visit him. He calls back and moves the appointment, then right as we are about to leave, a little disappointed now and not sure where to go, we get a call from a member that tells us to go visit someone right now. It is a family that the sisters have been working with, but they weren't progressing so they stopped visiting. We went and shared the Family a Proclamation to the World and they loved it. It was really cool to see the Lord specifically answer my prayer.
Friday-We had a slow day until correlation. After we went to Hector and taught everybody in the house the Plan of Salvation and it was beautiful! Again it is amazing to see everybody there changing, not just him!
Saturday- We went and translated for a Baptism, we visited Hector again and taught about Chastity, but then another really cool miracle happened. We went and visited Washington again and his wife and all their friends they had over. We taught and at first they didn't really want to know, but in the end the Spirit touched their hearts and I think we will find some true progression.
Sunday- I translated Fast and Testimony meeting and it was insane! But, the gift of tongues is real!
All in all the week was pretty great and we were able to find lots of new people to teach! The Lord is preparing the work!
I love you all!
Sincerely,
Elder Haynie
