Week 43 - He Llegado

What's up everybody,

We had a good week!  My first week of training Elder Callirgos was pretty dang cool.  We had some good experiences.  

First,  we went with two investigators named Karla and Joel.  They're really cool but they're not married, which is kind of a big problem.  They weren't really progressing with the idea of marriage so we gave them two weeks alone to talk about it.  We went back on Friday, and they were much more open to the idea.  Karla actually said that it was a for sure that she was going to get baptized, and she said that I would still be here when it happens.  Let's hope so!

Then, on Friday at like 11:30 at night we got two text messages.  I was pretty asleep but I decided to check who it was and it was a different investigator, Alejandro, that we left about two months ago because he didn't accept the principle of tithing.  We visited him on Saturday, and he told us that since we left, everything in his life kind of took a crash.  He stopped reading the scriptures and praying.  He said he was having too many problems too handle.  It was actually pretty cool because I think he understood how much this Gospel was helping him.  He said he wants us to start visiting him again and I think he'll be a lot more willing to pay tithing now.

THEN, we were talking to Miriam, a less active member and the aunt of Humberto, the young boy we were going to baptize but his grandma said no.  Anyways she was talking about Humberto and the conversation they had about baptism.  She asked him if he really wanted to get baptized and if he was going to continue in the church.  He said that he really wanted to get baptized, and that he wanted to keep progressing in the church because someday he wanted to be like me.  I was surprised because Miriam said that he said "Elder Warren", not "The missionaries".  I guess he really looks up to me.  It was pretty cool because I don't think I've ever been an example like that for someone.  It was cool to hear that I had helped him so much.  I hope he's able to reach his goals within the church and that his grandma will let him get baptized!

Well that's about it my dudes.  I miss and love you all!  Have a great week!
