Quick update on the area,
Elder Urbieta is a nice guy, and
every week we get better at teaching with one another. The area is doing well,
finding and getting people to come to church is slow but we have high
hopes. This week, another member is moving to America, this one to Florida.
That leaves us with no Branch President, and only one other priesthood.
We are teaching a woman named Mairi, who last year lost her daughter to a car
accident, the roads in this part of the country are windy and if you’re not
careful, they can be dangerous. But we have tried to comfort her
with the scriptures concerning God's plan for us and life after death,
specifically Alma 40: 12, 13, 14 I think. She is away a lot so we have a
hard time getting her into appointments but when we have met it was great, and
the members we have invited have really helped us out. The spirit is so strong
when your teaching according to the needs of the investigator, and you can
really see the things we say resonate hope in their hearts. We try to
keep our use of time most effective and we are doing everything possible to
have success, when it comes down to it, I just hope to leave this area, and the
work we have done here with my name on it, and the Lords name on it.
Leave it better than it was found. We are doing that. Maybe
they will send me to an area with a ward or even maybe a building next; I do
like small areas though, so I suppose it doesn't really bother me too
much.
~Elder Merrill
