Xaxim Week 4

So, this week was pretty good. It has been pretty slow these past few weeks in the area. We haven´t been finding new people to teach so we were basically just teaching the same 4-5 people every week. This week, however, we are finding new people to teach which is GREAT! Also this week we will have a baptism. Remember when a few weeks ago I said that we had a baptism that fell out of the sky? Well, he wasn´t as ready as the people who passed the reference had made it seem, but he has been making progress, and he will be baptized this Saturday. We are planning on having a family home evening with him on Tuesday, and take him to the temple on Wednesday, then on Thursday talk about the baptismal interview, then the interview on Friday, and then he will be BAPTIZED on Saturday. Anyway we are a little excited for him 😊. We have some other investigators as well but they are all a little farther from baptism.

Anyway this week I have learned a lot. I have learned that God really always gives a way so that we can fulfill his commandments. That has to do with obedience. This week I also decided to start being a little more obedient to the mission rules in little ways. I am making small sacrafices, but apparently that is what God expects of us. If we find the little ways that we can be more obedient then we will be blessed. It really is not the easiest thing to do with the World Cup going on, but we do our best.

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week, and have a good time watching, not watching, or not being able to watch (me 😂) the World Cup.
