Nothing much happened this week. We had interviews Tuesday with president and you know what we talked about? He talked to me and taught me about how to be a good husband and some experiences with his son in laws and stuff. We talked about an hour about that. haha it was good. That's when you know you have little time left in the mission, when your mission president talks to you about marriage.
Then Wednesday we went to Tampico because I had a meeting with a 70. Well all the leaders in the mission went. Wednesday night we just ate pizza and stuff and thursday morning was the meeting with Elder de Hoyos. It was a really good meeting.
We talked about how we can better the mission and what things we can do so that we are baptizing every week. That's the goal the area 70 have put for all of Mexico, is to find a new person everyday and to be baptizing every week. And he also talked to us about how we need to put more emphasis in using the Book of Mormon and giving it to people in the first lesson. And also about receiving referencias from the members and investigators. By the way you guys should give the missionaries in your wards references!!! They need people to teach!!
Elder de Hoyos gave the prayer in general conference. He said that he was really nervous to say the prayer because he had to say it in English obviously. And that it was hard for him; haha
My area is so hard!!! Honestly I'm just ready to get out of here. We had 6 people in church again and the members are just being lame. We have tried so many things to try to help them but nothing happens. Their attitudes are so negative. But I'm trying to stay positive but its a little difficult now after 4 and half months of being here and not seeing any change. So this is the last week of the change and I'm for sure getting changed out of here.
We got one investigator that's progressing. Her name is Ofelia. She is a special women. She's the women that felt the spirit in her prayer she did like 2 weeks ago. Yesterday we taught her the first lesson. And about the profets and stuff. But the cool thing that happened is that she told us that she had receuved an answer that the book of mormon is true. She told us that she finally said a prayer one night and just felt peace and she knew that it was God answering her prayer. That just strengthens my testimony that anyone can receive an answer that the book of mormon is true....Because it is!!!
Pray for us so that we have a successful week! I love everyone single one of you guys! Have a good week.
Love,
Elder McNamara
