Hi everyone!! February 5, 2019
Wow! I can’t believe I have finally hit six months. It feels crazy to have gotten this far! This past week we have been painting the entire casa de oracion.(house of prayer) It took us a while, but we were finally able to get everything done. It was great to have it all be finished.
Finally, our Branch President came back from Texas. He is an awesome man. He was a lot older and whiter than I thought. His name is Presidente Jeronimo. He is a very smart man that has received several doctorates and study old maps and from one of those maps chose to move to mulango, where the branch is situated. He and his wife are super sweet and truly love the people here. They love to talk about the historical background and we drive every Sunday for an hour to go to both branches one in Molango and one in Zacualtipan. It is super fun and they listen to super cheesy Spanish songs like pollo con papas, y ella quiere un novio, ella quiere matrimonio. They are super funny people and super sweet.
This week the family Rojas asked us to give them a week to pray and fast and ask God if they should be baptized. During the week at night, our investigator called us and told us that she felt dizzy and sick when she read the Book of Mormon and came to church. We asked her why she hadn’t said anything before and she said she felt avergonzado.(ashamed) Mind you this is our investigator who has read all the way to Mosiah and has attended church 5 times and has told us she loves it here and bared her testimony to us that she knows the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. The very next day we went and visited her to see how the family is going. Fabis (28) the one who called, basically ignored us and acted very strange, unlike her normal self. During the lesson we had she left to go buy bread for our fruit water. When she left her mother Elvira, told us that her pastora came and talked to them and that they should not let strangers in the house and other things to Fabiola. When she came back we continued to testify to her and then gave each of the four of them a blessing of comfort to help them feel closer to God. It was a really amazing experience and I think it helped them. The next day Fabis called us and told us that she felt bad for being grosero (rude) and ignoring us and that she wanted to keep coming to church but doesn’t want us to ask her about being baptized. This is a half win half lost kind of situation, but we are glad to have the hope that we haven’t lost them specifically Fabis yet. I know that God Loves each of his children and that we need to follow him to have full joy in this life and the next.
LOVE YOU ALL
LOVE Elder Snow!
