Linhares - Week Fifteen



Dear family, well this week want all too eventful.

It's weird just because I've switched companions a lot lately, so we switched the way we work here. I don't like the way we worked this week, and it's something I want to change this week. Elder Lima is really great, this was his first area so he wants to work with less actives a lot, which isn't a problem, but this week our only baptism date fell, and we didn't mark a single date this week. We haven't been working very effectively, and it's partly my fault too because I let it happen. But, this week we're going to change, and I'm determined to see more success this week.

We had I think 3 family home evenings with members this week, and got, 2 new investigators out of all of it, which isn't bad, but could be better. We are really struggling on finding new people to teach, but we can fix this too. umm, I’m trying to think what I did this week.

It was interesting this week, we taught a woman, who goes to the Jehovah Witness church, but isn't baptized or anything because she felt like it just want the right church. So we taught her, but at the end when we asked her to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet, she said, no. Because, she could feel by our sincerity, that we were messengers of God, and that we had the authority. Was awesome. But then she wouldn't mark another visit, so I don't know about her.

We have two other news also, Naiara, and her sister-in-law? I don't know, but she's been to church twice already, but I don't know if she'll keep progressing because we kinda botched the first lesson with her. We got on the subject of baptism and authority and having to be baptized the way that Christ was, and I think she felt like we were attacking her a little, so at the end of the lesson she was a little mad at us, but she went to church the next day so I don't know what will happen with that.

But that's about it, we didn't do too well this week and I was really disappointed with that.

but
