This week was much better than last week. Last week we worked super hard but we didn't really see any success in getting people to church. This week we were super worried the whole time that we were going to work super hard again and then otra vez not have anyone in church. But those worries were taken away when we got to church and there were investigators there already and when we were sitting down more investigators came in. It was so nice. A load was taken off of our shoulders.
On Monday we met a really cool guy named ____. He is 22. He had just barely moved here from Chiclayo and has been here for a week. And that same day we knocked on his door he said he had found out that one of his best friends had just passed away. So that was a bummer but we kind of just said like HELLO. What more do you need? Like the same day that this happens two missionaries knock on your door, a random house that we didn't know and we found you. So we have had a couple lessons with him this past week and they have all been super good. Especially focusing in on repentance and baptism. We read 3 nefi 11 with him and it was the best. The spirit was so strong and we made him some pretty cool promises if he fulfills his commitments that we gave him.
We also met a really cool guy one day just contacting in the street. He has been the administrator in his church for like 10 years but was super open to listening to us. He even at the end of the lesson accepted a baptismal date in March. We have a follow up lesson with him today so hopefully it all goes well. Hopefully he read and prayed. It is a little funny thinking about how simple it is for someone to get an answer. We tell them just to read, pray and go to church and it is so easy. God just asks the people to act and he gives the answer but sometimes people just get lazy or who knows what happens and don't do it.
Also I have been thinking a lot about all of the seeds that we plant on the mission. Like sometimes we don't always see all of the success that we have. We contacted a couple this past week and started talking to them and he starting telling us about how he like 6 years ago was going through something really hard and he met the missionaries at a friends house who was a member and said that the missionaries helped him out a lot and for that reason he really respects missionaries and loves them. So when we went in his house he just like exploded with excitement. So even if we don't always see everything we do, some day it will have an affect on someone's life.
