Hey everybody,
How is everybody doing? I can't believe that it is already Memorial Day. I still remember how awesome the carnival was. Today is also a
holiday here, but unfortunately I have no idea what they are celebrating. And
neither do the Colombians. But everybody likes the day off work.
This week has been really great. We have been working really
hard with retention, or converts and less active members.
We have a sister that we are working to reactiviate in the
church named Melanie. Her mom and brother are active members so she has been
really progressing. This week we werre able to talk with her about tithing and
the blessings she would receive because she, like a lot of others here are
living in difficult situations. But it was a super powerful lesson and she
commited to pay tithing.
We were also able to find a new less active sister that we
are working with. Her name is Andrea and we have taught her father-in-law, who
is also less active, but never her. But when we talked to her she said she was
completely ready to come back to church and that she had started to read the Book of Mormon just a few days earlier. Crazy, right? She was prepared so that
when we came completely not expecting it we found a less active member ready to
return to church. It was great!!
This week we have also been able to find various new
investigators. We have the goal here to invite every investigator to baptism in
the first lesson, which is kinda hard but when the people accept they get super
excited. This week unfortunately we have been having a lot of opposition but we
did have one brother that we were able to program in the first lesson. His name
is Luis and he is the brother of the ward mission leader. He was totally
committed to change if he received an answer to his prayer.
Well, that's a little bit of my week. I hope everything is
going well. I took a few photos today of the city but I forgot my cord for my
camera so I can't transfer them. Sorry, but I will definitely do it next week.
See you guys later,
Elder Parker
