Week 89!!!

Hello Everybody!

This week was good, but it went by way to fast!! I am just not sure what I am going to do if time keeps speeding up like this! I don't like it!

Trinidad and Ignacio are alright. It has been hard to keep them on the right track! Ignacio really wants to be baptized, but he doesn't want to cause problems with his family. Trinidad always swings back and forth. We found out this week that they have kids who are causing the problems because they always say things like they are catholic and their family has been Catholic for years so it would be betraying their roots to go back on that and switch religions. They will do it one day though for sure. We will keep working with them.

We found a lady this week named Kati. She is super nice. She is a Christian, but her member friend told her about the Book of Mormon because she asked why there is so many churches and how they all say they are right. So, the member friend sent us by. We have only taught her once, she missed our next appointment because she went to her church, but we had a quick chat with her yesterday and she was excited that we still came back, even though she stiffed us. She has a lot of sincere desire to learn. We are very excited to work with her. I am grateful for the church, and I do know it is true. I also know that member missionary work is very important and that hen we invite our friends to know what we know to be true, we will feel joy and although our friends still have their agency, they are a lot more likely to accept our message if we invite them and are there to help them understand it.

1 Nephi 10:19 reads "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost". I like that scripture. Scripture study is very important. Man cannot be saved in ignorance and as we get a question and we study it out and prayerfully search the scriptures, the Holy Ghost will teach us what we need to know.

Have a good week!

Love,
Elder Lloyd
