This week I will run through some highlights really quickly.
First things first new people. We have met one of the recent converts sister who loves us and wants us to come visit them. She is married and the husband while a little less interested still wants to learn. They have a cute son who is 5 i think. Their names are Anaeli, and Jose. They live actually only about 5 or 6 minutes away so it makes visiting them easier.
We also tried a little outside of town a trailer park that is literally all hispanics. We found one man who had been taught before by english missionaries a little, which I am wondering how because he doesnt speak english.
In that same park we also found some young men (20's), or more specifically brothers that took the time to listen. For the first time in my whole mission they actually answered all the questions correctly such as why the apostasy happened, the importance of prophets, and why the Priesthood had to be restored. Truth be told it took us by suprise, they now want to come and play soccer.
There were other people but I am limiting this to the most interesting. The last I will mention is a man we bumped into on accident who immediatly charges up to us and says missioneros. His name is William Rodriguez he is was living in Provo, Utah before coming to Indiana about 5 weeks or so ago and he had lived in Provo for about 16 years. But he is not a member. Literally he has met and fed the missionaries for almost all of those 16 years and has gone to church but has never been baptized. He also doesnt attend a church but is deeply religious so its a little confusing whats up.
So moving off from the new people we met to whats been happening at church. The Hondurans 25 of them have still not come but supposedly they will be next week. Who knows. The branch keeps growing slowly though we could use a boost and the Hondurans could be it. Besides that the church is still the same.
So the Nehrings the people we live with were impressed that I worked as a temple worker before my mission. They also liked the story of how I got called and was really scared that I had done something wrong.
But what else. We had to move our baptism of Jose this week till next week due to him not getting married. He will be next week so we should be able to baptize him the 12th of September along with Jessica and Delayne.
Well that is a good chunk of the week sorry if I missed something. I feel I covered just about everything.
Recently I watched the movie On the Lords Errand:President Thomas S Monson, if you havent seen it I highly recommend it. Its powerful all the work that the man who would later be called to serve as the Prophet, Seer, and Revelator did before becoming the man he is now. Just more evidence the Lord prepares those he calls.
