I just wanted to start off telling you guys about a goal we have as a mission! Our mission president has extended a goal for all of the companionships in the mission to have a baptism in September! It's a crazy goal and we have been working really hard for it! But we know that we can't do it by ourselves, so I just wanted to get it out there and ask all of you guys to pray for us, Hermana Stringam and I, and us as a mission! It's an amazing goal that is completely Faith driven and I know that with all of your help we can do it!
We have seen miracles this week already as a result of this goal! Wow. This week has been amazing! We have 4 legit investigators now and they are actually progressing! We had 2 of them come to church this week! One is named Rosa and she was a member referal, I don't remember if I told you guys about her or not, but she's from El Salvador and she is Evangelical... I think that's what it is in English haha. She reminds me a lot of Mercedes from Olmstead! But she came to church and has a lot of potential! She loves the lessons we have been teaching her and we extended a Baptism invitation to her last lesson and she said she still needs to learn more but that she definitely likes what we are teaching and wants to learn more!
The other investigator we had at church is named Brenda. She's 14 and is a member referal also! She came to church with one of our favorite members and she's her niece.. she's legit. We extended a baptism invitation to her as well but she said no..... haha but she said that she isn't ready and doesn't want to do anything until she is ready, which is exactly what we want!
I know we shouldn't have favorite investigators but I do haha her name is Oriana! She has a daughter named Ariel. She's only 7 but she is amazing! We are teaching them together and last week we taught the Plan of Salvation. I have always been nervous teaching the Plan of Salvation because it is so hard to simplify it when there is so much you know? But we have been working on it this week and we have really been blessed with the ability to teach it in the way that the people need it. We asked Oriana and Ariel if they would want to be baptised and follow the example of Jesus Christ and they both said they would but that Oriana is not ready yet. It's so amazing how the Lord has been preparing these people for us and we just had to wait for our time to teach them.
I know that the Lord can give us anything we need, if we just ask. We have been given the ability to choose, and with that comes tons of obstacles, but the Savior is always right there waiting for us to ask for his help. I am so thankful for the Power of Prayer and the ability we have to use it whenever we need it!
I love you guys so much!
Love, Hermana Bloxham :)
