Hello everyone!!
What a wonderful week. I just love being a missionary. Here's your rundown:)
☆ We started the week off with a dinner meeting at President and Sister Rodarte's house and all the leadership in Henderson. We discussed the "Henderson stigma" which is the idea that when you serve in Henderson, you only find about 2-3 people a week and no one gets baptized. Which is totally not true! But when missionaries have that mindset, their expectations lower and the work doesn't progress as fast. So we all counciled together about how to change this. President was like "it's up to you to change what I couldn't in 3 years. And do it today." Haha so this week we really focused on helping eachother grow our faith to find. And the outcome was amazing!! In one week, our zone doubled the amount of new people they found to teach. Killing the Henderson mindset!!! Miracles! The Lord really is preparing so many people to hear the message of the gospel.
☆ We had such a good exchange this week! The sisters we were with are POWERFUL missionaries! It was amazing!
During the morning, we were walking down the street about to go knock on someone's door and all of a sudden, Sister Klvacek goes, "252... that number just popped in my head so we need to go to 252." A little thrown off, we looked around and about 3 houses down, there's house 252! So we walked up to it and there were many very aggressive "No Soliciting" signs all over. Somewhat nervous, we knocked on the door and this YSA aged guy comes out. He was super nice and said he's actually been meaning to come back to church! It was so cool! So now we're going to start teaching him!!
☆ We had a lesson with this girl named Haylee this week that the elders referred to us. During the lesson, we asked her how she felt about baptism and she said it was something that she wants to do but not for a while. After teaching the importance of baptism, we asked her to look at the calendar and pick a day for when the Lord wants her to be baptized. She goes, "31st." We were all shocked. 8 days!! haha that's definitely not in a while. She had only been to church once so after talking about it a little more, she's now on date for June 4th, this Sunday!! Please pray for her!
☆ Last miracle, Lorenzo got baptized!! After his baptism, we asked how he felt and he said, "fresh." He was smiling from ear to ear and couldn't stop. It was so sweet. ♡
☆ 2 Nephi 33:6 "I glory in plainness; I glory in truth; I glory in my Jesus, for he hath redeemed my soul from hell."
I glory in my Jesus! He is great! And we wouldn't be able to do any of this work without Him. I love Him. He is the way.
Love you all! Have a great week!
