Our goal this week was 4 baptisms and 4 confirmations, we had 3 baptisms and 0 confirmations.
So this week was rough but lots of good experiences. The mother and two daughters of the rebojo family got baptized and the father will be baptized in the coming weeks. Then the 3 will be confirmed in church this week hopefully.
but on a more happy note here are some good experiences from the week:
1. We were waiting for a ward missionary at the basketball court and were watching the kids playing and i realized one of them wasnt talking at all. and I thought it was kind of odd and then something caught my attention. He started signing to another boy on the sidelines so i went other to his friend and talked to him and he said his friend was deaf and he was the only other person that knew sign language. Well luckily elder sackley took it for 2 years and some how still remembers some. So i signed with the deaf kid a little bit and all though it was ugly i was able to get my point across and give him a pamphlet. He was so happy and told us he was going to read it so that was awesome.
2. Second we had a refferal about a month ago. Her name was Jane and she was super receptive. The first lesson she cried and was very interested in the gospel. Well the next day we got a text saying she didnt want to meet with us anymore. So that was really disappointing but i have always thought she truly felt something so I have continually prayed for her the last couple of weeks that she would accept another lesson. Well prayers are answered. This afternoon we got a text from a member saying Jane has been reading the Book of Mormon all this time and wants to hear another lesson so we have an appointment with her Saturday Night! Woohoo!
hope you are all doing well! love you lots
love,
elder gsack
