Hola Familia y Amigos!!
Well, this week was really good. Unfortunately this weeks e-mail will
be shorter again, but I do have to share some really cool miracles
that happened this week!
So to explain, President Alba asked us to invite all of our members,
every single one all over the mission, to join in a special fast to
find the elect families and individuals that are prepared to hear the
Gospel. So we were lucky enough to be in a branch that has 4
companionships, so we were able to split the calling people up pretty
well, so we didn't have to call very much per companionship. But we
saw so many miracles from it, both big and small.
Some of the miracles we had were that we saw a big Sacrament Meeting
attendance, including a number of less-active members that came for
the first time in a long time because we invited them to the fast. We
also had a random guy show up during church for the english ward that
meets in the same building as us! And three out of the 4
companionships had investigators at Church, including us! We had
Francisco Sanchez at Sacrament Meeting! And a member came up to us
afterwards and asked us when we were going to meet with him and we set
up a member present lesson with him! And all of us in the Zone saw
many similar miracles!
Now we have the opportunity to call everyone back and follow up with
the fast with everyone and ask them who came to mind when they were
fasting that might be ready to receive the Gospel! And I know we'll
see even more miracles from that!
I love y'all and I'm sorry this is all I had time to write. Have a
wonderful week!
