We have Smart Phones!! We had our interviews with President Hammon this last Friday and we set up our new phones. Shout out to the Padres for the support and allowing me to be more effective as a missionary with this new tool.
We have already had some really awesome lessons with using the phones. We have been able to share and send over The Proclamation to the World to a couple and have them read it post lesson. Little things like that are helping these people learn and grow their own testimonies outside of the lessons. I just love how we were able to get the phones and just start using them immediately while we proselyte.
We started teaching the Enriques family on Saturday night as well. We taught the Sabbath Day to them and the father of the family, Juan, had a lot of good questions. He told us that they were Catholic, but would start setting some time aside on Sunday to be able to come to our church so he can learn more. They already seem like a family who would be a great help to the church, so I am excited to return and teach them more. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see them at church because Juan had already planned to go visit his brother the next morning, but they let us know that they will be there next week.
Rosa (Raquel's younger sister) did show up to church though and she is preparing to be baptized on the 22nd of April. We were able to share Elder Uchtdorf's conference talk from last October about how we all should have that desire to return to our Heavenly Home. Rosa and Raquel are both growing a lot in their own testimonies. Raquel is about to finish the Book of Mormon and she was just baptized last month!
Sometimes it just feels unreal being in a lesson and being able to testify about these principles that will bring us exaltation. Being able to see these people make changes, big or small, to be able to come closer to Christ and live his Gospel is something I'll cherish forever.
I also just finished 3 Nephi and have started reading the Book of Mormon, and I have two verses I want to share.
Mormon 2:19
Mormon 3:12
When we follow the example of the prophet Mormon, we will always be in the world, but never of the world.
There are definitely some ups and downs in the mission field, but being able to be in the situation I am right now at this point of my life is one of the greatest blessings. We are having so much fun serving, teaching, and working hard.
