Family,
This week was absolutely great. We received so many great blessings. All this week, our investigator, R, has not wanted anything to do with us. He is just an 11-year-old kid that doesn’t want to make any real choices in his life. So, he has been fighting all week to not listen to us. President sent me a text on Friday that said, “if you bring investigators to the baptismal service on Saturday, I promise that your investigators will feel the desire to be baptized.” So on Saturday, we were fighting to get R to come. I had all the faith in the world in President’s promise. But R just did not want to go. After a half an hour of a struggle, I said, “look R, just come. If you come, we will never come by and bug you again. If you tell us you don’t want to listen or go to church, that is fine, we will respect your decision.” So he got ready super fast and came. Anyways, after the baptism he was pretty normal. We dropped him off at his house and left. Sunday morning, we passed by… just to see if maybe he wanted to go to church. He was already awake and getting dressed to go to church. It was a miracle!! He came to church and stayed all three hours and enjoyed it all. The church is true!! Anyways, we brought 5 other investigators to church as well and they all really enjoyed it. The week ended great. We had six investigators in the church and we have five who are preparing to be baptized. The problem is that Carnaval starts this weekend. Look up Carnaval. It is a 3-day holiday were they throw water and paint at everyone in the streets. Last year, we had to stay in the house. But Carnaval means everyone will be going on vacation.... So we will pray that our investigators stay. A is super excited to be baptized and finally came to church this week. We are also teaching twins named J and C. They are going to get baptized on the 23rd and they are very excited. We have a TON of work to do this week.
So it sounds like everything is good at home. It honestly sounds pretty boring. What are Kyle, Jared, and Dantrell up to??
I have noticed how blessed I am this week. Like you said, the Church is true and the Lord blesses us and has a plan for us. I know this!!
Love,
Elder McRae
