Hola,
It's getting hotter and hotter here. It hit the 90s this
week. This week was so good! We had a busy week full of lessons. Hermana
Lambert and I had 18 member present lessons, which is 3 times what I was
teaching in Casa Grande or Maricopa! The members here in Yuma are so awesome
and are so willing to help us out and come to lessons.
Also, all 4 of our investigators with a baptismal date
came to church which also never happens, so that was amazing! Irma is getting
baptized on March 5th at 1:00 and is super excited. I don't know if I've
written about her story before, but she lived right by the church building in
the Foothills and just walked to church one day. She attended the English ward
there for 2 months, even though she only speaks Spanish. We've been teaching
her and finding her rides to the Spanish branch and she loves it. This week,
she moved into Yuma, so it's a lot easier for her and us because there's not a
20 minute drive to have lessons/go to church.
Heidy is the 26 year old daughter of Hermano Mireles (who
I wrote about last week). She had a dream this week about how she needs to get
baptized and now she is so motivated and to do what's right. She is reading the
scriptures and praying and she came to church for the first time this week. She
wants to get baptized March 19 and she invited her twin brother, Stevie, to get
baptized too and he said yes!
(He was at church too) So I'm super excited for them!
They're awesome.
Also, our investigator, Javier came to church for the
first time since I've been in Yuma. He's a little stubborn, but the spirit is
working on him little by little and he wants to get baptized.
This morning for pday, we went to the sand dunes again
out in California.
From the top of the sand dunes, you can see Mexico,
Arizona, and California at the same time. I'll send some pictures.
This week, our zone training was about focusing on
teaching repentance to our investigators so that they can have the influence of
the spirit in their lives more. We've been doing that and it's been great.
Before my mission, I just thought repentance was for big things, but I know now
that it's for all the little things as well. We need to RECOGNIZE that what
we've done is wrong, STOP doing it, PRAY for forgiveness, MAKE RESTITUTION with
the people we've wronged, KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS, and ACCEPT THE SAVIOR because
it's only through him that forgiveness is possible.
Have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Gubler
