Dear Family and Friends,
How are you all doing? I had a great week here in Glendale -
Sharing the Gospel and helping our brothers and sisters enjoy the
Blessings of the Gospel. The weather is still pretty hot here in
Phoenix on Wednesday. It was 116 degrees and during the night it is
still above 100 degrees so you still feel the heat especially riding my
bike on concrete and asphalt which the city is full of. Well the work
is going pretty well. We met a family that just moved from Mesa this
month into our area. Only one of the daughters was baptized. The mom
and 5 kids went to church in Mesa and were investigating the church
before. We invited the kids to YW/YM on Wednesday and 3 of them came
and had a great time. We are going to start meeting with them this week
and start teaching them. One of the daughters, 24 yrs old was almost
baptized before she moved. We also had a great lesson with Vanessa on
Saturday at the church. She came with her little sister and we gave
them a church tour of the classes they would attend when they come to
church. Then we had a great lesson with them on the Restoration and
committed her sister to be baptized with Vanessa on August 25. They
seem so excited to follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized.
Our Sunday attendance was alright, only one investigator came to church
so we were kind of bummed. We always remind our investigators about
church and they say there be there but they do not show up. We are
going to try to focus more on the Sabbath day and the importance of
church in there conversion to feel the Spirit and learn more about our
Heavenly Father's plan. Besides the low sacrament attendence, our
Sunday was pretty great. After coming out of our Ward council meeting
we saw this African family (2 ladies and 2 kids sitting in the foyer) so
we went up to them and introduce ourselves and gave them a church tour
before sacrament started. They had a great time especially the kids
going to Primary. It was so wonderful how they just wanted to come to a
church and they came to the right church - The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints. We also had some great lessons this week with
Diane. She has many concerns so we are trying to teach her the lessons
while addressing her concerns. She is starting to understand our
Heavenly Father's plan and why she should be Baptized into the true
church. We are going to try and work more with the members and get
referrals from people they may know that would be interested in learning
about the Gospel and how it can bless their lives. Well that was my
great week here in Arizona Phoenix Mission Sharing the Gospel so our
brothers and children can return to live with our Heavenly Father and
Families for Eternal life. I love being a missionary, Serving the
Lord, inviting others to Come unto Christ and be happy not only for this
life but the next. Hope all is well back home. My prayers are with
you all. I love and miss you all. Thank you for all the wonderful
letters of encouragement.
Love,
Eder Lance Kuhi Cabral
