Hola,
This week was super awesome! We had so much missionary
work and were literally going from lesson one lesson, to the next, to the next
all day every day. We had 19 member present lessons this week and a lot of
awesome progress with our investigators.
On Saturday morning, there was a Spanish women's
conference for our branch and the San Luis branch. They asked us to sing at it
back when there were 4 hermanas (including Hermana Allred who's a really good
singer) serving in our Spanish branch and we agreed. Then
the other sisters got replaced by elders and Hermana Lambert and I were left
alone with the task of singing "Yo Tengo Fe" (I walk by faith).
Thankfully, we were able to convince the English sisters
in the foothills to sing with us, but neither of them speak Spanish...Let's
just say our song sounded like a couple of dying cats. One of the members
"jokingly" said that the missionaries always sing beautifully, but
Saturday was the exception. But it's ok because the rest of the conference was
really good. We came at the beginning to sing then left to teach some lessons
while all the hermanas went to workshops, and then we came back for a delicious
lunch.
One of the lessons we taught on Saturday was to our
investigator, Rafael. He wants to get baptized on May 6, but is having trouble
with drinking. We took Hermano Mireles with us to the lesson and it was
perfect. Hermano Mireles was baptized a year ago and had trouble stopping
drinking too. He was able to share with Rafael the blessing he's been able to
see from keeping the word of wisdom. Rafael came to church on Sunday for the
second week in a row and stayed all 3 hours and told us he didn't drink since
the lesson.
We also took Hermano Mireles to a lesson on Saturday
night with Javier. We've been meeting with Javier for about 4 months and he has
been coming to church for about a month now. Finally at our lesson, he accepted
a baptismal date for June 4, so that was cool. I'm thinking we should take
Hermano Mireles with us to all of our lessons and everybody in Yuma would get
baptized.
Not anything too out of the ordinary that happened this
week; just a lot of missionary work. I'm excited to meet Elder Holland
tomorrow!
Have a good week,
Love,
Hermana Gubler
