Week 88... TRANSFERS!!!

Hello Everybody!  

 

This week was pretty good but sooo fast!   I am not really sure why, but me and Elder Nanto were both talking, and we both feel like half of the week just kinda blurred together, and we can't really remember...  but hey, it happens.

 

Ignacio was at church again!   However, this time, Trinidad did not come with him.  Not sure why, come tomorrow, we have a lesson to figure it out.   She is still kind of shakey, but Ignacio is progressing super well.   Once he gets baptized, I am confident his family will follow.  Trinidad for sure, and I am confident that  Trinidad will get baptized and they have a lot of family that lives there that currently wont listen to us.  Their 40ish year old son did thank us the other day for what we do because he has noticed a good change in Ignacio.   So the roots are definitely planted, but now isn't the harvest.  Once Ignacio gets the Gift of the Holy Ghost, things will start moving a lot in that house for sure.

 

We also had Hermana Torrez at church.   That made me very very happy.  When I first got to this area, she came with her daughters once, then hasn't come since.  Her daughters came one other time with out her.   Well, I watched their family pass through very very hard times, and I really don't like that to happen, well they stopped talking to us, then they finally started again like a month ago, and now she is at church. It feels sooo good to know that I was privileged enough to help them become active again.   I love my mission soo much! I am very grateful for my service.

 

Alma 37:37 reads "Counsel‍ with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good; yea, when thou liest down at night lie down unto the Lord, that he may watch over you in your sleep; and when thou risest in the morning‍ let thy heart be full of thanks unto God; and if ye do these things, ye shall be lifted up at the last day."  I like this a lot.  Daily prayer is a very strong tool that we have. Through prayer we can come closer to Christ and know God's will for us so that we may live according to His will.  I challenge you all to take the advice of Alma and to really counsel with the Lord at all times and for everything, and you will have His spirit with you more abundantly.

 

Have a good week!

Love,

Elder Lloyd
