¡Familia!
Another six weeks has come and gone
so we had transfers again. My boy, Elder
Hobbs, left me and my new companion is Elder Marin. He was born in California but his parents are
Mexican so he’s known Spanish since he was a baby. I’m sad to see Elder Hobbs go, but changes
are always good.
The weeks after a baptism are
always full of finding because we’re just trying to see who will be the next
person to take a plunge in the water. LoL! We also did a good amount of service
this week, which is always fun because it mixes things up. One day, we had planned
to have a lesson with one of our investigators but when we arrived at her house
she told us she wasn’t able to meet with us because she was busy cutting the
grass and it was already getting dark (we hear every excuse in the books). So, without
hesitating, we grabbed tools and went to work.
The member who was with us went to work too and in no time, we were able
to teach her, as we had planned. This investigator is a single mom of two boys
and she always has her hands full so it was nice to lend her a hand for a
little while. She was so grateful for what we had done and we were able to gain
her confidence. So, that was a rewarding experience.
Last week, we started teaching
another golden couple, Juan and Sandra. Sandra has been Evangelical all of her
life but when she was a child, she lived across the street from an LDS chapel.
She always thought it was pretty and had a desire to enter it so she could get
to know the religion. Juan went to an LDS service once, but never went back
because he moved and his new house was far from the chapel. They came to church this Sunday and fell in
love with the people and the atmosphere. Now, we just need to get them married!
This shouldn’t be too big of an obstacle, however, because I’m an expert with
that!
Have a great week!
Elder Roderick
