Area: Trinity River
Companion: Gamez
It sounds like you all had a good week, but I still
don't see any family pictures :P It is crazy how time flies. Elder Gamez and I were
talking about how these 2 transfers have blended into 1 and have flown
by! We get transfer calls this weekend, which is a little hard to
believe...but what is harder to believe is that it is February 9th and
it is 79 degrees outside, and it is only about 1:20pm, I hope this
doesn't mean that this summer will be extremely hot...
This
week went really well, we were able to make progress with most of the
people we have been working with. Over the last few weeks the attendance
in the branch has been going up! It has been in the mid to high 40s
instead of in the 30s! We have had some of the less-active families from
the branch, as well as investigators, there each week. The highlights of
the week were the marriage and baptisms of the Chavez family! We were able to meet their sons and daughters and
talk with them. They are all interested and willing
to learn more about what has helped their parents 'shine' so much, so we will be trying to meet with them to share our
message sometime this week.
I
am so grateful for the opportunity to serve here in the Trinity River
Branch, I have learned so much while serving here! I am glad to be of
service to the branch and to the people here. The Chavez family has
grown so much in their understanding and they can feel the Spirit
working with them. Ernesto and Francisca were both in tears during the
baptismal service and wedding and were so happy they couldn't describe
it. I can only describe it as them having found the Pearl of Great Price
and having given all of themselves to get it and accept it into their
lives. I am so glad to have been part of the Chavez's lives and
conversion, now I hope to be able to be part of the lives and
conversions of their children.
I do have pictures, but didn't bring the camera's cable, so maybe next week.
