Let's
see this week we had a baptism for an hma that we have... idk I feel kind of
weird cause I didn't find her and only helped out at the end of her lessons,
but she's really cool, she has a testimony and was super cool to see a ton of
investigators at the service.. we've been having success here in this
sector.. but again, it's mostly the people that I inherited in the change.. but a
veces toca.. This week were gonna have 2 more baptisms.. (yes people before
I came) and I got pity picked to baptize one of them.. haha the daughter
picked my comp, and the mom was quiet like what should I do now, I was about to
say look I don't care if he baptizes both of you, but the daughter said, pick
Elder Jensen, soo I'm gonna do it.. They're cool too, hoping to have
a lot of success this week in finding new investigators.. Also this next
week I'm gonna have my first baptismal interview, so I'm excited for that!
Let's see this Sunday I gave a talk and it was free topic, soo I talked
about the atonement of Jesus Christ.. We received a packet mas o menos
from Pres Murphy this week about a study list of the atonement, and in it it
had a talk from Pres Faust in 2001 called "The atonement our greatest hope"!
Great talk.. I was able to talk for like 15 min and the spirit was felt, well at
least I felt it... but super cool to learn about this topic a little bit more
this week.. for La Pascua, Easter, it was a normal day and week really.. we've
been using these pass-a-long cards for the Easter Initiative Prince of
Peace! There's a cool video on mormon.org
about it, watch it! But ya, cool week.
Well,
the best news of the week right here. Elder Christofferson came to
our mission today!!!! We got to shake his hand and listen to him speak
Spanish to us for like an hour, he speaks good Spanish! But way
cool, the Quito Missionaries came too , so there were a ton of missionaries here!!
Everyone except the zones in the coast, the jungle and Colombia came to
the meeting so it was way cool.. It was way cool, because he described
the process of picking a mission for each missionary. to me its awesome to know
that were chosen to these places by apostolic revelation, he told us there are
no mistakes in this process.. we were picked to each place for a reason or
paired up with a certain Mission President for a reason.. definitely
strengthened my
testimony. After listening to him for like an hour the meeting finished..
another cool thing about today was that I got to see a ton of people from my MTC
group!! We took a pic together. I haven't seen most of them since
like November!! Like 6 months!! So that was awesome. Really a great
p-day.
Well
that's about it for my week.. my Spanish is progressing a lot. I can
understand basically everything and I can talk at least good enough to explain
things.. working on the accent, but I've come a long ways, super proud of
myself tbh, but ya, thanks for the emails, I'll be sure to write you every week
from now on, last week was weird..
