This week was super good! We got a few more investigators, and taught a few really good lessons. We were passing by some potentials we had found looking for a former investigator a few weeks ago. We met Arturo and his wife Natividad. They are soo cool! We knocked on their door, and Arturo answered. He said he had talked to missionaries before, but never got baptized cuz he moved back to Mexico for a few months, then just came back. We promised him that hearing the message we have to share will bless him more than he is able to comprehend before seeing these blessings come into his life. We asked if he's got a few minutes, and he told us to come in. We had a very nice talk with them. They are nonpracticing Catholics, and very very humble. We really were able to feel the Spirit with them. They said they cant wait to learn more. It truly was a miracle to find to a family that really wants and needs the Gospel.
We also had a lesson with Maria. Her nephew passed away last week, or two weeks ago. It was super sad, but she was humbled a lot. Her husband too. We finally got her husband to sit into a lesson with us. That was very good. We taught a very powerful plan of salvation. I love the Plan of Salvation and what it means. It is a very big role in why I am out here serving.
Last week, a few of the young women threw us a quincenera. It's like a sweet 16, but it is for when Latina girls turn 15. It was pretty fun. Me and 4 other missionaries in the ward turned 15 months. We are getting OLD!!!
Doctrine and Covenants 123:16-17 says "You know, brethren, that a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm, by being kept workways with the wind and the waves. Therefore, dearly beloved brethren, let us cheerfully do all things that lie in our power; and then may we stand still, with the utmost assurance, to see the salvation of God, and for his arm to be revealed." That is a super cool scripture that Elder Roberts shared with a member. Remember that its the little things in life that make very big changes in the course of our life. So always remember that, and keep focused on the things of Christ so that you may continually be guided to the good things is life. The peace and happiness that only can come through the knowledge the Gospel gives.
Until next week,
Love,
Elder Lloyd
