Moving Crew

We moved apartments this week, so that took most of our Saturday since we had to completely clean out an apartment that missionaries had been in for 6 years, but now we have a renovated apartment in a different part of the complex! 

We were able to teach Marisela and Rogelio a few times and get them to church again. We have been visiting them ever since they came to church together 2 weeks ago. They have a baptismal date now for the end of June, but it will be a lot of work to help them get ready. They came to church again, which is helping them see the bigger picture! We are bringing over some members tonight, so that will help them have some good role models.

We have a few other people coming to church and they all want to get baptized, but they just have some legal problems that they are figuring out. We are working hard to find people that can be baptized a lot faster though because honestly these people are going to get baptized, but it just takes some time when you are dealing with divorce papers or immigration appointments.

We did exchanges this week with the Spanish bike elders that live with us. I went with Elder Ngatuvai in my area and we had a pretty solid day. We went tracting for a little bit in a place that hasn't had many missionaries, so we are seeing some success there. We also went out to Norco and did a home visit with some less actives, which went well and they want to feed us some Nicaraguan food next week!

We had MLC on Thursday and now we have Multi-zones this next week. The transfer is almost over, which is pretty crazy because next transfer, our mission is getting 60 more missionaries from 2 other missions. A lot of changes...

My favorite quote this week was from a General conference talk in October 2001 by Elder Clayton.

"No matter who we are or where we live, there is much about our daily lives that is routine and repetitive. As we go about this dailiness, we must be deliberate about doing the things that matter most. These must-do things include making room first for the minimum daily requirements of faithful behavior: true obedience, humble prayer, serious scripture study, and selfless service to others. No other daily vitamins strengthen the muscles of our faith as fast as these actions."

Our prophet has told us that we need to be "taking our vitamins daily" and that's pretty much what the gospel of Jesus Christ. As the world keeps on changing, all we need to worry about is a bunch of small daily actions that will prepare us for eternal life.
