Hello friends. another long hiatus of blogging on my part. I hope you
all are enjoying March so far. This week we set baptismal dates for
Arabely and Juan Carlos. They are family members of an ex missionary in
our ward. They love love love church and are so excited for their
baptism this Saturday. They were fascinated by the word of wisdom and
really felt it was inspired of our Father in Heaven. So Juan Carlos told
us he drank coffee because his grandma gave it to him daily for
breakfast. We told him not to worry because we had a cure and solution
for this. The next day we brought him MORCAF, a non cafeinated drink
made of cereals and corn. He was so excited that he told us he
immediately ran to his grandma when he came home and asked her to make
it for him. He said he likes it and is very willing to stop drinking
coffee from now on. We are really trying to work hard with the members.
The most challenging part that keeps our investigators from progressing
is church attendance. For some reason here the people are just so darn
scared of going to church. I think they think we have cults or weird
ceremonies inside the building or something, I really dont know. We
always have at least some investigator in church so that is good. The
ward is awesome here. We just started a cool new competition to
encourage and excite the members to participate in missionary work with
us. We are giving points to each organization whenever they come
contacting with us or have family home evenings or bring their friends
to church. We have a calendar where they can sign up and everyone was so
excited that they ran to the calendar after we announced it and the
calendar is now practically full! I know that if anyone has a testimony
of the gospel then they know that sharing the gospel is important in
Heavenly Fathers plan, but sometimes we just need to wake up and just do
it... TODAY, not later!!! Now is the time and everyone can share the
gospel in their own way. I've realized that creativity is so important.
The gospel can be shared in so many ways and we can help apply it to
others families and lives if we try to think of fun and unique ways to
share it. WE are the Lords hands in this great work and he really is
depending on us. I encourage all of you to share the gospel with at
least one person and invite someone to church. You never know what the
Lord has in store for them... and for you. Don't just follow the
gospel... live it... everyday.
With Love,
Hermana Argueta
