I hope December has been merry and bright as you have participated in #LightTheWorld ✨
This week was a weeding out the unprepared week. We were able to set up 5-6 appointments with new investigators that we hadn't been in contact with for some time. Even though most of those appointments fell through, we were able to better know who is ready to receive the full gospel.
Our muchachos were a no show this week. Dang it! We drove out to their trailers only to find that their van wasn't there. We called them and they were on their way home from work. We set up another appointment with them, but we're not sure how much they will progress if at all. Since they are moving back to their country, they are likely not all in it. Bummer city.
We had an interesting lesson with Marcos yesterday. He was as new investigator that Hermana Fluckiger had found on exchanges, so neither Hermana Corona nor I had met him. When we sat down, we met Marcos, his wife, and her brother. Let's just say that her brother was more interested in us than in our message. If anyone asks, sister missionaries who return back to Utah are prohibited to marry. After the fifth time calling us 'mami', we were uncomfortable. Not to mention his scanning us with his eyes and wanting Hermana Corona to take him back home with her. Thankfully he had to take a call and left the room. Mischief managed.
Marcos was really nice, but he didn't understand that we were there to teach him. The Spirit was frustrated, so when we got to the part of the lesson about Joseph Smith, the Spirit impressed upon us that it wasn't right to share it. We thanked him for his time, prayed, and left.
Transfer calls came on Saturday. Hermana Corona's next assignment is to find her eternal companion, and mine is to stay in Shelbyville! YAY! I'll be serving here for my fifth transfer with Hermana Rodriguez. She and I served together in Paris. Reunited and it feels so good!
Mosiah 2:41
"And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of never-ending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it."
God has shown us the way. Through prophets we know the desires of God for His children. By living His commandments, we will receive all of the blessings that He has in store for us. As we live the full gospel of Jesus Christ, we will find ourselves blessed and happy both temporally and spiritually.
Merry Christmas!
