Week 19 December 4-10 Training Tr

HOLA TODOS!

This week has been super fun and crazy we focused a lot on contacting because all our seguros (secure contacts) have been baptized so yeah.... But yay for Guerrero. Those two baptisms broke a two-year streak of no baptisms in Guerrero. It has been super strange doing all the reporting because, first of all, I have always watched my previous companion but have never done it myself. I have four hermanas (sisters) in my district and they are all super chido (cool)!  It has also been super strange going from trainee to trainer, but I feel like I have been able to Help Elder Zacarias a ton. The first day we started to contact in a part of our area that we had never contacted before and got 12 Nuevos (new contacts) it was super awesome. Our last 10 contacts were super bad, my companion got some of the worst rejections that I have seen on the mission.  But this week has been super great and Elder Zacarias is so awesome.

I also had a really frustrating moment on Saturday. We were contacting in Santa Cruz a Colonia de Guerrero and we - before we even said anything we were invited into this man’s house and he asked us to teach him what we believed. We taught him the restoration and he really liked what he was hearing. He asked great questions and appeared almost a golden investigator. We explained that the way he could come to know if this was all true was to pray to our Heavenly Father. This question bothered him and made him afraid to know the truth. He literally told us he liked hearing about other religions but now no longer wanted to find more because he was afraid God would be mad with him and that he would have to compromises with God to act on what he learned. He said he wanted to stick his head in the sand and hide from what we were saying. This honestly made me so sad and reminded me of the people of Moses when he put a serpent on the cross and all the people had to do was look to it to be healed. But some people didn´t the same thing happened with this man. He failed to have the faith to believe. I am so grateful to have the faith to ask God anything and have no fear that he will answer with gladness, just because I am asking. I know our Heavenly Father loves each one of His children and only hopes that we can have the faith to follow Him. Just follow Him.

Love you all thanks for all the love support and the Christmas scriptures!
