(About Tropical storm Beryl): So we didn't even get any rain where I'm at, it literally did nothing. So we went on a hike to a waterfall, I sent some pictures..... it was pretty fun.
Sounds like Maelynn is getting accustomed well back to home life with many dates heading her way, sounds about right. Seth, Javier and Lane have some good times ahead of them, lots of fun out in the sun on scout adventures!
To make this my response to both you and dad as well, because you both wrote me about similar things...
I'm glad Maelynn did so well on her talk, sounds like she really did have a lot of support from family which is good. Everything she said is true, I testify. From what I've heard about it, true conversion really is more that just having a testimony, it is striving to become like Jesus Christ, which 101% means treating other just like Christ would treat them. Amen lil' Sis.
This week was a good one here in San Sebastian. We worked hard with the goal to get all of our progressing investigators to church. So we visited them all, multiple times, teaching them about the importance of church attendance and how to feel the spirit, and then come Sunday we stopped by some of their houses again.......and none of them could come.
We were pretty upset because of how hard we had worked, but we went to sacrament meeting with no investigators there with us, and we were discouraged and everything because none of our investigators wanted to show up. But then we saw a miracle, just as the bread was being passed, we saw 3 people walk into the chapel, 2 investigators and 1 street contact that we were not expecting to show up - but they got there and they loved it!
The 2 investigators are the ones where we are building the mother-in-law's house because her spouse (the lady's son) died in the hurricane. And like the whole ward already knows them before we even introduced them to anybody! It was crazy! Of course the people helping with the house know them, but another family who had no idea that the elders quorum was building their house turned out to be some of their best friends from more than 20 years ago, and they didn't even know that the family were members! And a totally different family turned out to be their cousins and they didn't even recognize them at first! They were super welcomed to the church, they felt right at home with the hermanamiento (fellowship) that the ward killed it with. Their names are Luis and Aida by the way.
We were also able to make contact with and teach some super dope member referrals that we have been receiving recently with all of our member work we have been doing. My companion and I are really getting along with this ward and it is showing great fruits! We are excited to see where else it brings us!
The photos I sent thru the thingy on google are from a really cool waterfall that we hiked to today with views from in from behind and on top! Enjoy!
