TRACTING IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA


Hello Family and Friends,

How are you guys doing?  Well for me, I have been doing great in Phoenix sharing the gospel and helping others come unto Christ.  This week the weather was still pretty warm exept for Friday it was cold felt like winter again.  I heard this week it should be getting hotter in the 90's so I am staying hydrated.  Tuesday, we had a great lesson with Sandy on how our Heavenly Father wants us to be happy and he can help us as we have faith in Jesus Christ.  Then we did some tracting but not to many people were home.  On Wednesday, we did a lot more tracting.  Then we had a lesson with Rebeca on Joseph Smith and went over her Baptism interview questions.  Thursday, we had our weekly planning and distict meeting.  Afterwards, we had a lesson with Robie - we started to read the Book of Mormon and help her understand it.  She is doing really great and is so happy she got baptized and received the Holy Ghost.  She seems so much happier with the spirit as her companion to help her through life.  After we had an amazing lesson with a new investigator Tom.  We taught him the Restoration of the Gospel and invited him to read and pray about the Book of Mormon to know that it is true.  On Friday, we had a great lesson with Sandy we read Alma 36 with her on how Alma is talking to his son about his conversion.  She really liked reading it and we invited her to pray and come to church.  Then the rest of the day we did some tracting, visited less actives, and called former investigators to see if they were interested in taking the lessons again.  We got 2 appointments from calling so it was pretty effective.  On Saturday, we visited Peter and check how he was doing.  Then we did some visits and tracting.  While tracting this guy came up to us and started yelling at us because we do not observe the sabbath day on Saturday, he was Seventh Day Adventist.  But then after we tracted a few more houses his brother talked to us for half hour and he seemed interested in learning about the Gospel and how Jesus Christ can help him through his trials.  Then we went to a baptism for the sister missionaries in our district and we wanted to bring Rebeca, but the person who was going to pick her up told her she did not want to go and she does not want to meet with us and get baptized.  It was very hard to hear that because she was so excited and she felt the Spirit testify to her that it is true.  She talked to some of her family about getting baptized and they were against it.  We were so sad but we keep praying for her and we will visit her in a few days.  Sunday was a great sabbath day.  Sandy, Tom, and Loredda came to church and they loved it.  Great talks on families and Sunday school was great for them to learn about Prophets and how we have a prophet today that speaks to God and guides us so we can return to live with him.  That was my awesome week in the mission field.  Thanks to everyone that writes to me, they keep me going in doing the Lord's work.  Take Care my prayers are with you all.
 
Love, Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
