Los Molinos 4 - Toilet installation and Marriages

Los Molinos 4 - Toilet installation and Marriages

After so many letters home, sometimes it's difficult to think about how to start the letters I'm sending.

We had all week to work in our own area which is such a blessing! It's super nice to be able to just focus on your own investigators and their progress in the Gospel.

We've been leaving a LOT of responsibility with the members here. We've developed a super good relationship with them over these past 4 weeks and the majority of the people we're working with have now been references from Family Home Evenings and activities that the members themselves put on. It really makes the searching a lot easier and the lessons are 1000 times more powerful. We're really seeing miracles from it.

We had a service project and we installed a toilet at the house of a member which may not sound hard but let me tell you. First off, we had to take a bunch of dirt and rocks and everything to fill in the empty bathroom, then we had to dump out like a ton of concrete onto the floor, mix it around by shovel and then take it all and put it over where we installed the toilet. Let's just say I don't know how the workers here make it look like a piece of cake. 'Cause I was burnt outttt!!!  But it always feels good to lend a helping hand to someone in need.

We have two marriages coming up. We'll be seeing the Samboi Sierra family get married tomorrow and we're super excited. Elkins wife Victoria was reactivated in church yesterday and we're working with her sister and her family now too. Angelina is doing well and her family is slowly becoming more receptive to the message we're sharing. They'll be coming to her baptism so we'll see the effect that will have on their family. Enrique is strong in the things he's learned in the church. He got a job at a call center where the workers usually have to work on Sundays. When we heard it we were a bit devastated until he told us he said to his boss that he wasn't gonna work on Sundays. He still got the job though and they're gonna work it all out. Really touching to see his desire and faith in what we're teaching. And Preciado is just struggling as always with his health and his family but he told us that he knows that it's Satan trying to discourage him from making the decision he's gonna make this Saturday. All in all, we're seeing small mercies from God with this area and I'm loving every second working here.

I hope you all have a great week and that you let your loved ones know how much you care about them.
