Heyy Fam!
Woww this week we had lots of stuff to do. It was a little crazy but with it all we were able to work and see with miracles with some investigators. Our area is pretty close to the border of Argentina and we are zone leaders so have all of the passports and documents of the missionaries in Paraguay, so we always have to do stuff with that. So we lost some time doing some of that stuff this week but still managed to be able to work. We have been seeing a lot of progression with the area here!
We have an investigator named Alicia who lives with her husband and grandaughter. We have been teaching her for about 2 weeks now and she loves it. She hasn't been able to go to church yet because of some things she had to do but the last Sunday she sent her granddughter to church with a member family that lives close by. It was super awesome! She knows that its a good thing and wants it in her life and in her family's life. She has a baptismal date for March. She has been struggling to quit smoking for awhile now and has the faith that she can quit. We promised her that if she read the Book of Mormon everyday she would be able to quit smoking. She took the challenge and now is trying to read everyday with her granddaughter. They are doing super awesome, and I know the gospel will truly bless their lives!
Another Investigator named Leonarda is probably one of the most faithful people I have ever met. She has a super strong desire to get baptized and live the gospel. The missionaries have been teaching their family for a long time and almost all of her kids are members of the church now. She just has to get divorced and the get remarried with her boyfriend named Lalo. She already sent in her papers to get divorced and they should be coming in any day now. She wants to get married with Lalo and then get baptized. Lalo also is planning on getting baptized. They are so greattt. Leonardo was telling us the other day that she just knows that she needs to get baptized. If Lalo doesnt want to get married she said she will kick him out of the house so that she can be baptized and live the gospel in her life. She has such a strong testimony, it is amazing. We are now trying to help Lalo so that he can gain a testimony and have the faith as well!
I just want to end off saying that I know the gospel of Jesus Christ allows us to change and be better. Everyday we have problems and experience hardships but Jesus Christ felt it and went through it and through him we can be ovewrcome them and become better. Love you guys, have a great week!
