Elegidos‏

Hello again! This week was packed full. But due to limited time, I´ll just write the higlights. :) 

This week we went to do service at a members house. What did we do? Mow the lawn... WITH SHOVELS. We literally just wacked at the grass until it was kinda cut.. To be honest I´m still not sure what we did. But the member appreciated it! 

So this week we were meeting with an investigator of ours, Dana, and during the lesson my comp asked me to share something and right as I opened my mouth, Dana said that she doesnt like how my comp tells me to do everything. She thinks its rude and she doesnt like it. I tried to explain to her that as my trainer, she has to or else I will never speak and will never learn. It all spiraled out of control and we left with both my comp and dana in tears. So my comp and I talked later about it all, and as we were talking we got a message from Dana. She said how sorry she was and she didnt mean to offend us. And that she was going to pray and sincerly use the atonement that night, which is a miracle because Dana never actually prays.. What is cool about this is we noticed how God was using our weaknesses to bring someone closer to Christ. Though we suffered a little and our faults were pointed out, it helped someone else realize what was important, and realize the gospel is the key.

So then yesterday Dana got BAPTIZED. It was the coolest thing to watch her step into the font. The love I have for her is unreal, even if I can never understand what she´s saying. 

This week we had a lot of meetings and such. The goal of this mission is to work through and with the members. We need to have every lesson we teach be with a member present. Not saying that always happens, but we try. We have a huge goal of baptisms by the end of the year so we will be working super hard to find the "elegidos" this week. 

Time is up so I have to go! Ill try to add pictures later if we get back on, but if not, until next week! 

Love you all!

Love,
Hermana Prestwich
