This was a pretty good week!
It was super busy. Due to the fact that they split our area we had the opportunity to work out in the area that we don't usually work in. We visited a less active family on Friday and they came to church! That was super cool to see them there. They are an awesome family! They actually technically live in my old area. So it was cool to talk to them. They just like the branch in San Benito better. It was super cool for them to come to church though!
We had a zone meeting this week that was really cool. President Maluenda wants to put just as much emphasis on reactivating less active members as baptisms. There has been a lot of baptisms in the area but a lot of them have gone less active so we are going to see if we can help them start to reactivate and come back to church!
This Saturday we had the idea to go on an exchange with some of the members of the branch. I went with the branch president and elder Davis went with one of the youth that is about to leave on his mission! When I was deciding what I wanted to do with President I had the thought to go to a less active that we have. I was really hesitant to go to them because whenever we try to visit them they always shut the door and basically tell us to go away. But we went anyway and it was super good. President basically just shut down any doubts they had and told them that they need to start coming back to church. They unfortuniately couldn't make It this week because the mom just barely had a baby. But I know that they will start coming back! I learned so much from this mini exchange that we did! President is an amazing man!
This was a really good week and we saw a lot of miracles. I know that God has a plan for us. We just need to do his will!!
I love you all!
Love, Elder Hurst
