INVESTIGATORS
Amada
Amada is doing pretty well. She is still progressing slowly but surely. Long story short she came to church last Sunday but was not able to stay because of her brothers health complications... We are still trying to help her get/recognize her answer to her prayers so that she can be baptized.
Eric and Heidi (siblings)
They both came to church this past Sunday and liked it. This was a big step for Eric because as of right now he still claims to be atheist, who doesn't see the need or benefit of faith (or according to the dictionary a belief in something without any evidence) in someone's life. He is changing though-his mom ran into our Branch President because they both work at the same hospital and long story short, his mom is noticing that Eric has much better manners towards his mom and the rest of the family since we have started to teach him. She also thought a lot of false doctrine about our church and President explained it all to her and so she is much more open to us coming over now. Heidi has just started listening in on our lessons with Eric. She claims that Eric is not truly atheist and that this is just a phase/something to do for attention.
Jose Luis
is a Seventh-Day Adventist that we teach once a week. We have been praying for the spirit of discernment a lot recently to understand how we should move forward with him. We cant tell if he sincerely wants to find the truth and that is why he is keeping his reading commitments or if he just trying to measure our religion against his.
Besides that we are just trying to build up our teaching pool full of people who want to be baptized as fully converted members.
LESS-ACTIVES
Marina
She is still going well although she unfortunately missed her first Sunday in about a month and a half. We are still trying to start working with her husband.
Zorayda Bowman
We are still trying to work with her non-member kids. One of them, Harold 15, seems fairly receptive. She accepted the challenge to read a chapter out of the Book of Mormon everyday. She did not however, attend church this past Sunday.
Familia Aguirre
Angie and her two sons Kevin and Steve are doing pretty well as well. Angie is doing ok on her commitment to read a chapter of the Book of Mormon everyday, she is on Chapter 6. Steve still doesn't really have an interest in the gospel or going to church. We have recently started working with the YM President to help Kevin and Steve come to mutual every week. They did not go to church this past Sunday.
Hno Alejandro Campuzano
is really excited about receiving the priesthood as soon as he quits smoking. He is really learning a lot from re-learning the missionary lessons in preparation to teach the rest of his non-member and less-active family with us!
Familia Burga
Interestingly enough they are always very committed and interested when we have our weekly appointment but so far all the work we have done has brought forth Hermano Burga coming to church alone every week.
That is pretty much it.
STUDIES/GOALS
I am still working on my goal of completing both Predicad Mi Evangelio and El Libro de Mormon before i go home! I feel like this week we could work even harder, especially on the other lessons and member present lessons taught. We are still working on setting a solid baptismal date!
