Week #33 * March 16, 2015

Hey everyone,

This week has been really good we are getting ready for another mission conference. This time it is going to be in two  parts. The north part of the mission in one and the south, where I am, in another.  We have someone named Elder Zebellos coming to speak. I am really not sure who he is, but it is supposed to be really good and at the end we are going to watch Meet the Mormons. So I am pretty excited for that.

This week we have continued to work with a lot of less actives. Two less active families came to church and are really progressing well and we are teaching several others who want to come back to the church. We are really excited about that.  One of our investigators Maria Ulga also came to church who we started teaching recently. We were able to have a really good experience with her because she is preparing for the Thesis, which is a huge project, slash test thing that they have here that takes a lot of preparing and is the deciding factor of whether or not they receive their title after the finishing all their college courses.  We were able to go with a member, who gave her a priesthood blessing and invited her to go to church and she came! We are also working with a new investigator named Jacquline who went to the church for a whole year, but never was baptized because she was living with someone.  She stopped going when they broke things off and it has been several years but she has decided that she wants to receive the missionaries again, so we are really excited about that.

With Jaime I found out that he doesn’t even live in our ward boundaries, because we have been teaching him in a house of a different member and so we have to try to get him to go to his own ward. But my companion told me that he didn’t want to, when they talked to him about it before so I am a little nervous about that. Because our leaders have told us that we need to try to have everyone go to their own ward. So we are going to try and help him to know some of the people of the other ward this week. Please pray for him.

Other than that we are just working really hard to find new people to teach. 

I love you all and want you to know that you are in my prayers!

Love,

Hermana Stringham
