Quintas

Dear Family,

Transfers. I am going to stay in Quintas with Hermana Morales and Hermana Talbot is going to Irapuato. Looks like I am going to finish here in Quintas. :)

This week we did an activity as a district called TODOS SOMOS UNO (we are all one). We went to Paseos the area of our fellow compañeros. We divided with the members and went looking for old investigators and new contacts that the elders could go and teach. The purpose of the activity is to help area by area the number of people we are teaching increase and that they progress to baptism and temple covenants. It was a beautiful experience. I went with a recent convert who is considering going on a mission. We came across many types of people people that accepted us and others who kindly said no.

Here's an investigator status update:

Juan: Struggling to quit smoking. The good thing is he hasn't given up trying. We talked about repentance this week. He said that he didn't believe that we could be forgiven completely. We showed him the example of Saul in the Bible and Alma the younger in the Book of Mormon. I think his perspective has changed a little and he can see that it is possible to be completely forgiven.

Amada Tere: We taught her the Restauration and about prophets. She realized how important it was to have a prophet to guide us in these days and her homework :) is to pray about the experience of Joseph Smith to gain a testimony that he was a prophet called of God to restore God's church.

Mara: We recieved the Book of Mormon on CD so that she can start to hear the Book of Mormon and begin to gain her testimony of it. We haven't seen her a lot this week because she has had trials with family and friends and also big accomplishments in the family so she has been a little busy.

That's all the news I have this week.

Con Amor,

Hermana Beardall
