Hello Family!
I hope this was a GREAT week for everyone!
This week was super long and difficult for us. The numbers went down even though we worked hard, so this week we want to learn what the Lord wants us to learn and keep going.
We had a cool experience the other day, we received a call from an investigator, she wanted to know when Conference was. I don´t know who she is but she is a lawyer, 26 years old and lives alone. She was actively investigating the church with the other Elders; had read almost the entire Book of Mormon and had attended church 4 or 5 times. But as she was preparing for her baptism, She was given an ultimatum. (something like that) her family told her, choose between the Church or your family. Not both. So sadly she chose the family. But then about 4 weeks later she sends us a message asking to know when Conference is. So we gave her the website. She watched all 4 sessions with her sister and with her family. Then she calls us and asks us to come over. So we go. She talked a little about Conference, then stopped and said, "when its convenient for you two, I want to get baptized." BOOM, music to my ears, I was so happy when I heard that. Now she is going to get baptized this Saturday. Her name is Romina, we haven't seen her in a few days but we still hope she is doing good. She had kept reading the Book of Mormon in her free time when she wasn´t receiving the lessons, but she is almost finished with it! I hope it goes through!
Anyways, that pretty much was the most awesome part of the week. The rest was filled with visits, contacts, studies, and planning!
My companion and I are doing great. The ward is great, small, but great. Actually, its shouldn´t really be a ward. This whole stake should be a district with branches. We had 29 people in the church yesterday. Its pretty disheartening but pretty motivating too.
We will see how this week goes.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Moore
