Hello Family and Friends,
This week was absolutamente amazing! I love this area, the people, and especially the memebers here! The work is absolutely booming right now! We were able to find 2 families of 5 this last week whom we are really excited about! We are also working really well the members right now!
A push that has been put out in the Maryland Baltimore Mission is to work with the members and teach them how to do missionary work! So instead of just asking for referrals at the end of a lesson, we ask them who they think they could reach out to and share a scripture or video! And there are so many members who are doing missionary work! One lady we are working with is handicapped and under normal situations she wouldn't be able to meet new people and share the gospel, but because we are in quarantine she is able to reach out and share videos we make with her friends from all over! She shared one of the videos we made with one of her friends in El Salvador! Her friend in El Salvador was so touched and wanted to meet and talk with us! So we set up a video chat lesson with her and the memeber and taught her a little bit, and she accepted the restoration and is starting to read in the Book of Mormon!!!!!
We are also working with the Branch President right now, and he all by himself found a family of 4 who actually took the missionaries discussions in the past and were super close to baptism, but they moved! But out Branch President found them and we set up a lesson yesterday with all of them in the Branch President's house!
We are also getting really really good at this thing we call Facebook tracting (basically stalking), but it has been super helpful! We are finding and having conversations with a lot of people every day, and one guy we found this week accepted a baptismal date for September 26 and tuned into online church yesterday! So we are super excited for him too!
I love all of you, and go find someone you can share your testimony with! People need you!
Love,
Elder Jorge
