Companion: Hermana Zambrano
This week was really good. We were able to see a lot of miracles and a lot of good things have been happening in the area. Last week, we were just figuring out the area and it was taking a little bit to get started, but this week, things have been rolling.
One
of the interesting things about opening an area is that you never
really know where you are going to. The other night, we ended up in a
relatively sketchy area. It is always pretty fun. The people there were
interesting. This area of Bakersfield is full of really interesting
people, but I am still having a lot of fun. I think here, we are dealing
less with people who aren't really interested and we are able to really
see who the people who are prepared.
While we
were doing daily planning, we were thinking about who we could visit. We
felt impressed to go and see one of the less active members in the
ward. When we went over there, he was sitting down on his couch, playing
his guitar. It was a little dark outside, but we thought that he could
see us. Turns out that he couldn't. I don't think that I have seen
someone jump as high in a long time. We started talking to him and we
could feel the spirit pretty strongly. It was cool and I think that it
really helped him. It really was a testimony to me that the spirit will
help us to do this work.
Yesterday night, we
had an appointment with a person who we met the other week. He was a
little drunk when we met, so we didn't really think that he was going to
be there. We got out of dinner a little late, but we headed over to his
house. When we got there, he was waiting outside for us. He actually
was really excited to talk to us and he was talking about how we were
the first step to help him change his life. He asked us to come back.
One
of the big events that happened this week was that we started teaching a
family. I actually wrote about them last week. They were the family
that have the Mexican aunt. We went back to see them two times this
week. They are super cool and really prepared. When we were talking to
them yesterday, the mom told us that she has always been looking for
answers. She has gone to the Catholic and Christians churches and they
didn't give her answers. Then she told us that we were able to give her
the answers that she was looking for. It was super cool! The family is
super cute and I think that they have a lot of potential. They are
feeding us dinner on Wednesday and then we are going to teach them some
more. We are super excited!
This week has
been pretty exciting. Hermana Zambrano and I have been working really
hard and it has been paying off. We have been able to see a lot of
miracles and we are starting to figure out the area. I love this area
and I love serving the Lord. The missionary work here is really good.
The Lord is blessing us a lot.
I hope that you all have a good week. I hope that you are all enjoying the end of your summer.
