Week 92!!!

Hey Everybody!

This week was pretty good for the most part!

Ignacio didn't get baptized. Super lame. He was supposed to have his interview on Tuesday, but he called us and said that his wife said he can't. So, we go over to his house to see why. He said that his son is sick in the hospital (he is out now), and Trinidad was really stressed. So, she threw down and said she will walk out if he goes through with it. He is very sad, but thinks she just needs time, then he can do it. So, that wasn't cool. Sometimes missionary work is really hard when you get really emotionally involved, and then something happens and it doesn't go exactly how you wanted it to, and it hurts. But, it's all good. One day he will be baptized.

We did have a good week, and found some really good people. We found this girl named Jessica, who is a single mother. She is really interested. We have lots of high hopes for her. I really do believe she will get baptized, but we will see. We have another lesson tonight with her. It will be good!

We also had a member bring a friend to church who really wants to learn more about Jesus as well, we haven't had the opportunity to talk to her yet, but we look forward to seeing what that's all about!!

Me and Elder Nanto got an interesting call today. Sister Tew, my president's wife, said that they are trying to train two missionaries in every stake to know how to work in the family history center so that we can get recent converts and less active members to take their ancestors to the temple to do baptisms. It is pretty cool. So, me and Elder Nanto are the Spanish missionaries in our stake to do that. We don't really know what that means yet. We found out like two hours ago or so, but that should be good!

1 Samuel 16:7 reads "But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." This is kind of a cool scripture. What you have in  your heart is what actually matters, so have a good heart, and also don't judge books by their covers.

I hope you all have a good week!

Love,
Elder Lloyd
