Hola family!
Just so you guys know.. I
still love being a missionary and i love preaching the gospel!! this week I
honestly don’t remember what happened because we are already on Tuesday because
we had a zone conference with my mission president yesterday on p day. So we have p day today.
This week I know that we
had great lessons with Anahi and her daughter Aylin. They attended church and were really
attentive. And honestly God answered a
prayer in this sacrament meeting. We have been visiting Anahi every day, praying
and reading 4 verses with her to get her started on the Book of Mormon, and to
get her distracted from the addiction she has.
But, then we teach her approximately 2 times a week. This week, we finished all the first three
missionary lessons and we began to talk about the commandments. We talked about how we should follow the prophets,
and about the priesthood authority. That
brought up doubts. She began to question
us, why can’t women have the priesthood.
Obviously, we tried our best to explain it. But she left with a doubt of
that being kind of sexist. She then
promised us to still come to church. She arrived at church and sat with her
daughter. I also sat with them. The President of the Elders quorum gave a
talk on the importance of women in the church and why the men have priesthood
and the women don’t. It was a good
experience for me because I really learned that missionaries are not
perfect. And that God really does answer
prayers when you cry your heart out to help someone. God loves us, and especially the ones that
are finding this Gospel in their lives.
Lucas also made it to
church this week and was very attentive and had a lot of questions and really
wanted to understand. He asked the
question of why do the people not talk during prayers. Because in the
Evangelico church they talk and scream in their prayers. It’s quite funny. But he enjoyed it and seems excited for the baptism
date he has. We taught him this week the
plan of salvation, and he is really intrigued by the idea of having that
eternal family! He is a wonderful father, provides for the family, Works
service for a soccer club, he doesn’t make them pay. He only does it so the kids stay off the
streets and concentrate on the good things in their lives. He will be a great leader in the church. I’m super excited for him. Please pray for them.
We had a miracle this
week. We have been walking a lot and
trying to find people to teach. We only have 5 member families in our area and
they don’t really work with us, and they are some inactive members. And being
so remote, we don’t have a lot of member help. But we are working with them. So
we haven’t really had many success finding references from them. That is why we are walking a lot. So we have been praying to find new
people. One day, we left the pension
early that morning with heads high hoping we would find someone. God literally dropped a blessing in our
lives. We got a call from the
missionaries on the other side of the mountain saying that they had someone
that need service in Lago Puelo. We went
and dug the foundation for them for their house, and after, they asked us if we
were going to share a message. We didn’t
even plan on it. We were just going to do service and leave to lunch. But it turned out that they wanted to listen. They didn’t accept a date to be baptized but
they wanted to get to know the church before they commit to anything. What a blessing!!
I want to make it known
that I do receive those Dear Elders From stake President Quesenberry. But, I don’t know his email address so I can’t
tell him. They are really inspiring and I
hope he doesn’t stop. Mom or dad please
let him know I am thankful!!
Well I love you guys!! I
hope you guys have a wonderful week!!
Love Elder Wessel
