Hola Familia y Amigos,
Como
Estas? I am doing great here in the mission field doing the Lord's
work and bringing others unto Christ. It is starting to get pretty
chilly here in Buckeye in the mornings it is in the high 40's then in
the day it warms up to about 65. Time to bring out the sweaters to wear
anytime it is below 65. Well I had a pretty good week. We got to meet
some of our investigators this week and start to teach them. We had a
lesson with the Hornburgers kids this week on the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. They are ready to be baptized but wont until their moms
boyfriend agrees that they can get baptized. We also had a great lesson
this week with Allie Delgado on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her
husband is a member and they just got married a few weeks ago. She
asked a lot of good questions that we answered to help her understand
our beliefs. We invited her to be baptized and she said if she knows
that it is true she will be baptized. Hopefully, the next time we meet
we can set a date with her to be baptized. On Friday, we had a great
zone meeting, a big focus of our meeting was on finding new
investigators because nothing starts in missionary work until we find
people to teach. We discussed our prayer contacting where we go to
members home, we offer to have a prayer with them to ask God for any
blessing they need in their lives, then we ask them if they know anyone
that we can have a prayer with and help them feel the spirit that comes
from praying to our Heavenly Father. We are also doing the Prayer
approach when we go tracting to soften their hearts and help them
recognize the Spirit of Prayer. We also discussed that by next Spring
we should be getting a lot more missionaries in our mission about 250,
currently we have 170 missionaries. So we have to prepare for them by
doing the best we can to help them be succesful missionaries. We have
to tighten up on our obedience by following the mission rules, work
hard, and set good examples when they come into the field. On Sunday,
we had a multi stake conference with all 95 stakes in Arizona. It was a
broadcast from Salt Lake where Elder Holland and Elder Erying spoke.
Elder Holland gave a powerful talk on missionary work with the new
changes in missionary ages and how members have to be more involved in
missionary work because times are changing and more and more people are
not opening their doors because of what is going on in the world and how
members have to open the doors for missionaries by inviting their
friends and family to learn more about the Gospel. We also had a cool
experience last night where this Truck driver from Nebraska wanted to
talk to some missionaries. The Bishop from our ward called us and told
us to go to a truck stop to talk to him. He was going through some hard
times so we talked to him and gave him some spiritual guidance and
comfort. The spirit is so amazing to help us know what to say to people
to help them feel our Heavenly Father's love for them. Well that was
my week in the field. I love and miss you all. Take care and God bless
until next week have a fantastic week.
Love,
Elder Lance Kuhi Cabral
