I hope everything is
all well in O town! Im sure spring is starting to spring! I love how
Utah actually has seasons haha. The only thing here is a rainy season
and then everything else is basically the same haha. It was a great week
here in Pachuca!
On Tuesday night, the bishops
wife came with us to an appointment with Alma! She is doing really well
but doesnt feel super comfortable making a baptisimal commitment if her
husband doesnt even want her going to church every week. We explained
to her a lot of things, and tonight we have another appointment with her
to see if she is willing to follow through with her baptisimal date for
this Sunday! I really hope she can because that is probably that last
day I have in this area.
Arturo and Rosario are
looking great for this coming sunday for their baptism! They are
literally the best members of our ward and theyre not even members. They
helped clean the chapel this saturday, they drove people up to a ward
camp outing, and they are giving the missionaries food now. We love
them. They're super cool too because we found them on a day that (before
finding them) had no success. We contacted 30 people that day. The
first 29 wanted absolutely nothing, but Rosario was the 30th contact,
and look how far shes come. That was just a lesson for us to never give
up on the contacting, there are people ready.
Another
baptism planned for this coming week is the hermana Nadia who is the
cousin of an investigator that we've had for about 4 months. He just
cant start smoking. But now his whole family is learning about the
gospel and things are looking good!
We have
high hopes for this weekend with 3 baptisms planned and Alma that could
very well get baptized this week as well. It is the last week in the
cycle which means Im probably leaving to a different area next week,
since I already have 4 and a half months here. Its always posible for me
to stay, but missionaries in this mission rarely stay in the same area
for 6 months so we'll see. We're just excited to finish off the cycle
strong! These are great investigators we were blessed with and how cool
that they get to be baptized right after the last general conference
session on Sunday! We are so excited for them, and SO EXCITED for
conference as well! It'll be quite the weekend.
I
just started reading the Book of Mormon completely in Spanish. Ive read
obviously a lot of verses on Spanish but now Im going from start to
finish. So right now Im still in 1 Nephi. I just loved reading Lehi's
vision of the tree of life again. Its unbelievably relatable to what we
are all going through. It talks about CLINGING to the iron rod to be
able to keep going through the misty darkness that arrives in the world.
With the words of ancient and modern revelation, with family, with
prayer, with living the gospel, we can stay strong to the iron rod and
make it to the tree of life which is eternal life.
Que tengan una buena semana!
Elder Millard
