On Tuesday we had exchanges. I was with a great elder, he is awesome. We had a good day of work. We even had 2 recent converts work with us. It was awesome. We can really see the recent converts progression, but the best lesson was our last one. We were teaching a really humble guy. He is such an honest seeker of truth. He asks really good and deep questions. The Spirit was so powerful in the lesson. He really made good commitments and we are excited for him.
On Wednesday we saw miracles. We were out in the morning and got punted. The Lord still provided. We found 2 part member families and a really interested person. We went to this person because he was written in the area book. I had written his name a while back and as I was looking through the area book again and the name popped out to me. We went back and he was very happy to see us. In the afternoon we taught a great guy, he's preparing for baptism this month. we taught the word of wisdom and he was living it before he even knew what it was. We got kinda punted the rest of the day but we had a tatay recent convert working with us and even when we're punted he cracks jokes and is happy.
On Thursday the mission got washing machines for the apartments for all missionaries. They're just the simple ones that spin. No automatic stuff or anything fancy. We helped the person from the office deliver some of them to missionaries in the zone. Later that day our recent converts had a referral, it was awesome. They've been members less than a month and are referring. We taught him and it was pretty good. We were also able to find other great people. There are so many great people to teach here in the city.
On Friday we were able to teach some great people that are preparing for baptism. I am always so humbled and grateful that we found these people. It's great to see the faith they are showing to change their lives and live the commandments. We taught the guy that I mentioned was written in the area book. He is awesome. He asked great questions and listened so intently. It was a great lesson. Later that day we went to teach a lesson but we had to go through small floods and heavy rain. When we got there they had no electricity. He said he would come to church. Even though we weren't able to teach it was well worth it.
On Saturday we taught another member referral. It was a great lesson too. We picked up an investigator and attended a baptism of another area so he could see a baptism. It was great! I think he had a great experience. He then attended the ward activity. We were able to teach another member referral in the evening. He was fire too. He has lots of questions and really wants to find the truth. It was a great day.
On Sunday we had miracles as some investigators came to church. Some came that we didn't expect to come and it was awesome. We were able to teach recent converts and found some part members. We had a meeting with the stake presidency that the missionaries are invited to attend. It was amazing. The stake presidency here is so supportive of the missionaries and we were able to discuss great things and give ideas to help further the work. Our investigator we are preparing for baptism got interviewed and she passed. Her baptism is this Saturday!! She is the daughter of our recent converts. I wasn't feeling to good this week. I got sick, but pushed through. It's always worth it.
I hope you all have a good week. Remember how much God loves you and push through the hard things because it will always be worth it.
Elder Snyder
