Hey Everyone!
It’s only been a couple days, but several interesting things
happened this week. Out of the 3 investigators we have with a baptismal date
only Luis came to church. It’s a little frustrating, but Luis is on his way
towards baptism and he's not looking back. There are several more things that
we need to address, but he's totally gung ho about baptism. We had a lesson at
the church again where we had a "Plan of Salvation Tour". Elder
Walker and I along with Hermano Laguna (recent convert as of 3 years) went from
room to room and taught a principle from the Plan of Salvation. Luis had some
former ideas that Resurrection basically meant Reincarnation, so we cleared
that out! By the end, Luis opened up and told us that his mind and perspective
on life has never been clearer than before, and he's going to do his best to
make the church priority in his life. At church, because the Spanish stake
dissolved, the LA stake president, President Bragg, address the ward. He served
his mission in Monterey Mexico so his Spanish was really good. Luis really
enjoyed his message as he talked a lot about the plan of salvation that we
covered the day before. We've been in really close contact with him as we
played soccer with the ward again this morning and Luis came as well. It's all
working out well with him. Concerning the other two baptismal dates, Flor
actually went to the visitors’ center with Hermana Bernardino and the sisters
taught them a lesson there. She liked it, but she's not really convinced about
how the gospel and the church is relevant to her life right. She wants to take
it slow and learn at the pace she wants. She's got friendship in the church and
she's going to try to read more from the Book of Mormon. We'll see how it goes.
And with Paula, AHHH she promised that she was coming to church FOR SURE. But
she didn't. It's hard to get in contact with her as she never answers the
phone, but she has such a great testimony in the gospel. Our goal is that she
can at least come to conference because we know that once she hears the voices
of the prophets, it’s going to put her priorities straight.
It was cool to hear about the space shuttle being transport
here to Los Angeles by a jet airplane. An investigator told us about how it was
going to fly around LA for everyone to see and land at Exposition Park where
they have the science center where is going to stay. Unfortunately, we had
district meeting at 11:30 and it pasted by us at 11:45, so we missed it. It’s
okay, because Elder Walker and I drove past a crime scene on Sunday Afternoon
where there was a helicopter, 8 cop cars, and 7 cuffed up gangstas being
arrested. All of them were tattooed up from head to toe. That's LA for ya.
That's about it!
Os amo tanto!
Elder Marrott
