Miracles - Milagros

What one of the missionaries here calls trophy shoes

Elder Read says that last week was a week of miracles.  They found 5 new investigators and 6 attended Church on Sunday.  The partner of Olga, an investigator, was at Church with her, so  that makes the 6th.  He knew nothing about the Church beforehand - but he came!!!  They are sure they're going to baptise!

As Elder Read has mentioned before, they are going to have a "Harvest"  - and it's going to be on Saturday.  It's where they go with the members of the branch to do contacting and visiting less actives.  They're really excited and are looking forward to having a lot of success. Elder Read understands just what he has to do in this area.  In other areas it has been to help the ward: the less actives, the members who aren't so strong and to plant seeds. And to hope that the Lord will permit them to have at least one baptism. However, in this area it is to BAPTISE.  There haven't been any for almost two years.  The President has told them that that is their function - to BAPTISE.  There are no less-actives to reactivate and no new converts so their mission is clear.

So they're really excited and Elder Read says that he's gaining more and more confidence in the Lord.  Although his strength is waning and he's always tired, he can trust the Lord to give him the strength he needs to complete his mission.

Elder Read dice:

¡Pues esta semana a sido una semana milagrosa! Tuvimos 5 nuevos investigadores y 6 en la capilla, Vamos a bautizar aquí ¡estoy seguro! 

El enamorado de Olga (una investigadora) vino a la capilla ayer. Él no quizo saber nada antes pero ¡VINO! 

Este sábado vamos a hacer una cosecha (o sea los misioneros se van a juntar con los miembros de la rama y vamos a salir a hacer contactos, tocar puertas etc.) Estamos super animados, vamos a ver mucho éxito aquí. Por fin entiendo mi propósito aquí en esta área. En otras áreas a sido ayudar al barrio, los menos activos, miembros que no son tan fuertes y plantar semillas, y luego el señor me da por lo menos un bautismo. Pero aquí es ¡BAUTIZAR! No han visto bautismos por casi 2 años. Presidente nos dijo que nos a mandado aquí con el fin de bautizar. Casi no hay menos activos que hay que reactivar y no hay ningún converso reciente. Entonces, "¡a por ellos!" 

Estamos super animados de verdad. Me estoy dando cuenta que tengo que confiar en el señor más y más. Mis fuerzas se están acabando y SIEMPRE estoy cansado. Pero confio que el señor  me va a ayudar para que puedo seguir adelante físicamente el resto de la misión.
