This week went well. Elder Reyes and I had a lot of apointments with members and we found 7 new investigators. Since Elder Jacobs showed us around we had a lot more people to look up and now lots of them are investigators. On monday we visited the less active members who has been listening to the Jehovahs Witnesses. We had him start reading the book of mormon starting at 1 nephi for the first time. He's been a member for alomost 10 years, but i don't know if he's even been to church 10 times. I wouldn't bet on it. But he's a nice guy and we're doing our best to help him out.
Tuesday we went and visited our Recent Convert sister Maria Lopez. Her Daughter is coming to visit from El Salvador and plans to come to church on Sunday with her. Maria has a little dog named Perla that goes crazy when we come over, she loves us. She made us some lunch while we visited. We taught her about Temples and Baptisms for the dead, she said that she would like to be with her (Viejito)( little old man) again. Her husband passed away a few years ago. She saw a picture of the temple and she wants to go do baptisms for the dead. we're going to set up a time to go to the temple with the ward. We also taught a great lesson to a former investigator named Roberto. He is a really cool guy. He is 29, married and has 2 little kids. and they are the cutest little kids ever. They are an awesome family and i am excited for them. They really seem prepared.
Wednesday we contacted a Media Referal who had ordered "Finding Happiness". We watched it with him and his mother. Then spoke about God and that He is our father and has a plan for all of us. It was great and we set up a time to come back to teach him about the Restoration. He seemed interested and truely wanted to learn more about what we had to share.
Thursday we had dinner at the Castillano family's home. He is from Argentina and his wife is Ecuadorian. They have a very sharp 9 year old daughter. They are a wonderful family. We talked for a long time and had a really good time. They have some friends that they are going to try to share the gospel with. We trying to help them feel comfortable talking about the gospel with there friends.
Friday we taught a lady named Vidita. She is an older woman and she was locked out of her house for some reason. So she was waiting for her friends to get back home and let her in. Anyway, we taught her on the stair case leading up to her apartment room. It was kinda dark, but it was really good lesson and think she felt something. She seemed very receptive and we set up an apointment for next Saturday.
On Saturday we helped a member move into a new apartment. We got there at 8:30 and left at 3:30 it was a lot of work. It was fun though, they are a really funny family and the time went by really fast. And she bought us Pizza afterwards.
On Sunday Maria came to church with her Daughter. It was fast and Testimony meeting. I translated. It was a very nice meeting, only 1 weird testimony and i didn't translate it all. I not only translate, i also filter out false doctrine and other inapropriate stuff... ha ha.
We have our Zone Activity today at Flushing MEadows Park. We are supposed to play frisbee and soccer and have a BBQ. It's kinda rainy so we'll see what happens. It was 85 yesterday and 85 on Saturday as well. ITs been pretty stinkin hot. But the rain came down last night and it was pooring this morning.
