Hola
This week was great! We had 21 member present lessons.
Ivan's so excited to get baptized. Every lesson, he just thanks us over and
over for bringing this gospel into his life. He's totally going to endure to
the end. The member at one of our lessons who was baptized 18 years ago shared
his conversion story and Ivan was like "and after 18 years how is
it?" totally thinking about his life 18 years from now with this gospel
now a part of it. He said he wants his 9 year old daughter to serve a mission!
He's excited to get the priesthood. He said he's completely stopped drinking
and smoking and that he doesn't get mad at his kids anymore. He said sometimes
he is about to relapse into those things and then he thinks of the things we've
taught him about putting up a shield of faith between him and the darts of the
adversary and he stops himself. He loved church on Sunday. If you could pray
for him that he will be able to get a new apartment, that would be great.
This week, I went out of the mission 4 days in a row.
(With permission, don't worry) On Thursday, our zone got to go to the Phoenix
temple which was so beautiful. I'll send pictures. Friday, we took our car into
pep boys which used to be in our zone, but with the new boundaries is not. We
had 2 tires with nails and 1 with glass.
Saturday, we went to a baptism at our stake center which
oddly enough is not in our mission anymore. And Sunday, the zone leaders,
Hermana Irizarry, and I went to Tempe for a special MLC (the freeway takes us
out of the mission) where Elder Pearson of the seventy came and spoke.
It was awesome! He talked about not only having the faith
to serve a mission, but rather to have the faith to succeed.
A lame thing that happened this week is that Margarito,
who got baptized last month, decided he doesn't want to come to church anymore.
His wife was really mad at him and gave him a bunch of anti-Mormon material.
He doesn't want to come to church because it will make her really mad. So
that's dumb, but we're going to have our bishop talk to him.
We also finally found our investigator, Porfilio. He's
been working in Kansas for 2 months and he's finally back. While we were
teaching him, he invited his neighbor and his friend to listen during the
lesson.
Have a great week. Sounds like fun in Salt Lake.
Love,
Hermana Gubler
