These past few weeks have been rough. We work all day every day, harder than I ever have. We have found more than 35 new investigators in 4 weeks. We have given lesson after lesson where the spirit was so strong that the recipients of the lesson cried.But after all of this, we have never had one single person go to church, and now no one will accept baptismal dates either. It really isnt about the number of baptisms for me, but that I can at least see a few fruits of all my work. Ive unfortunately not been able to do that here in Escuadron. The area is great, the ward is nice, and people are willing to listen. But they dont do anything and thats been killing us.
Thankfully, not everything is bleak from this week. Sunday night, we found a full family who listened to us and accepted our message. We can at least see a few people who like the message, we just hope that they will sincerely desire to know the truth.
The title of this email is the name of a Rooster fighting shop, of which there are actually 5 different shops within 6 blocks of my house. They sell Roosters, fighting equipment, training equipment, special rooster feed, and more. Supposedly its illegal here but theres so many stores here that I think the cops just gave up. I guess whats popping in Mexico is Rooster fighting right now haha.
Thats all for this week, we will continue working and all. I think I am going to go buy some Oreos. That sounds nice. Adios, y que Dios les bendiga!
Other Cool stuff:
1. I saw a Mustang Shelby GT-350 this week. Its my favorite car. It was so cool
Spiritual thought:
I was reading in Mosiah (great book, its my favorite in the BoM), and verse 2 of chapter 16 says that Almas heart was touched by the testimony of Abinadi. Alma went on to convert 450 people within a few months and ultimately become the great High Priest of the church, during several years of prosperity in the church. Thanks to the testimony of one man, thousands of years of history on the American continent were changed. Never underestimate the power of a testimony. Never forget how powerful your testimony of the Living Christ is. It can change the history of the American continent for thousands of years, you just have to share it.
Also, I want to hear your thoughts on D&C 82:22. Everyone in my district is stumped except for me haha, and I want to know if you guys understand it!
