We have found a lot of new people to teach through just talking to people on the street and prestando service to strangers. Its fun to meet new people and learn about their lives and families.
One day this week we were doing something called 12 weeks which is for new missionaries. We watched a short video clip about how to work well with the members in the ward. After we saw the video we felt like we should talk to the bishop about all of the families that are inactive or havent gone to church in a while. He gave us a short list of people to visit and told us where they lived. So one day after we finished dinner we didnt have any appointments so we thought it was a good idea to go and talk to some of the people bishop told us about. So we go and after a little encounter with a few dogs, we made it to their house and they saw us as we were walking up and they invited us in! We went in and we were just visiting for a while with the family and then one of their neighbors came in. We talked to him and asked him a few questions to get to know him. He told us that he had talked to the missionaries before when he lived in progreso and was about to get baptized, but then his job moved him to a different area and he lost connection with the missionaries. So now we have been talking with him every day and he always tells us that he really wants to get baptized and he has really been looking for this change in his life. So that was cool to see how heavenly father lead us to that man. He is so aware of us in everything that we do. And he really loves us all personally.
We also had the opportunity to listen to an apostle on Saturday! We watched a broadcast of Elder Russel M. Nelson as he gave a talk to the missionaries in the Tegucigalpa mission. His message was really great. He talked about the importance of Family History and Temple attendance. As he was closing he bore a powerful testimony about temple work and about this work that we do as missionaries. I know that the temple is literally the house of God. I love and miss the temple so much and cant wait to return.
Well i love you all!! Have a buena semana!!
