Hey Everyone,
We got the presidenta of the Sociedad de Socorro (Relief Society) to take us to meet a menos active family out in a pueblo about 30 min from Izucar. It was cool to see the miles of sugar cane fields in the valley as we traveled in a small combi to the pueblo, Rijo. We had the oportunity to teach this big family and give them some priesthood blessings. While we gave the blessings it was awesome to see how the Spirit guides every blessing. I am so greatful that God has this type of relationship with us, which is one by one.
We also had a lot of divisions with the Elders from Tlapa. One of them has trouble starting conversations with people and building strong relationships. As we were walking and trying to figure out how to fix the problem I recieved a memory of the game I played with my aunt Alesha. In the game you place two lines, shapes, squiggles, or other nonsense on a piece of paper. Then the other person would have to try and make up a drawing from that nonsense. We thought about how often times we dont need to know exactly where we are going to start off, but eventually with creativity we can end up with a drawing or a good conversation. We then went on to teach an antiguo investigador that did not have confidence in the missionaries, but to our suprise he started warming up to the Elder that has problems with conversing. It was cool to see how the spirit teaches then helps us apply.
This week has also been nice because we have been starting to work alot better with the members of the branch here in Izucar. The Lider Misional Miguel is always excited and ready with ideas of activities to share. However this week he passed a reference of a family of 6 that have been waiting to hear the gospel. We are still in the beginning stages of gaining the familys trust, but they are good people and could be ready to accept the gospel. I hope we can start getting some good coordination with this branch.
Here are all the delayed pictures that I have been waiting to send. Thank you all for your patience!!! Have a great week !
Elder Thompson
