Dear Friends and Family,
How is everything going? I hope that everyone has been staying safe and all is well!
This past week was a little rough for us at the beginning of the week! Satan was working quite hard!
Our main man Julio texted us this past week and said that he had some really major doubts about some of the teachings of our church. And so we tried to ask him what they were and what we could do to help and he didn't respond to any of our texts. So that was really sad.
Then we started teaching Isael's sister Issannet who is also an amazing person, and they both want to be baptized for such amazing reasons. So we asked for permission from the Mom and she said yes, and then we talked to the dad and he started bashing our church and said there was no way he was letting his kids be baptized into our church. Because we don't follow Jesus, we follow Mormon and Joseph Smith. So we tried to explain how that WE DO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, we showed him our nametages and a whole bunch of other things. But he just would not listen to us. It was pretty frustrating. So that was really sad as well.
And then our also other amazing person named Aaron, who read 1 Nephi 1-8 in one week, didn't pick up this past Monday, and we can only have lessons with him on Monday's so hopefully he will pick up this week!
So the beginning of this week was pretty rough, but one thing that I learned this week is that there are always elect people who are wanting to learn more about the gospel. We were able to find 3 super awesome people this past week, two through our English class and then one who was priorly taught. And then sometime we haven't had contact with in about two weeks called us up out of the blue and said she wanted to hear a message! So we taught her real quick and were able to set up a video chat with her for this week!
So I definitely know that at times life is super rough, but there always will be an opposition of all things! If you are going through a hard time, just wait for it.... It's coming!!!!!!!!
