What a week!
There was a lot of ups and downs this week! But we made it through.
We will start with the downs real quick. We unfortunately had to stop visiting some really cool families that we were teaching. They just weren't acting and it came down to that. Also Jerry didn't come to church again. He hasn't been back since he got confirmed. But we are going to keep working with him and get him there next week.
Other than those lows it was a super good week! On Wednesday we looked out the window and saw that it was pouring rain. We thought it was going to be an awful week but it turned out to be amazing!! We found a really cool couple and talked with a ton of people. I was expecting that day to be super bad and frustrating but it turned out to be amazing. It taught me the importance of always having a good attitude!! Attitude decides everything!
On Saturday we had the opportunity to find a lot of cool people! On Saturday we went to teach one of our investigators named Rigo but it turned out that he wasn't there so we started to teach his cousin Maria who had told us that she wanted to start coming to church. They live right next to an active member so It worked out perfectly. We taught her the restoration and she accepted a BD. She also came to church the next day with the active member family! It was super cool. We are going to keep working with her and try to teach the rest of her family.
We also had a potential set up that lives pretty close to another member so we decided to bring one of the members to the lessons with us. I was pretty hesitant at first just because it was a first lesson and the member wasn't comfortable with working with the missionaries! But we took her and it turned out great. It turns out that they know each other! It was super cool! It helped me realize that it's the will of the Lord not my will that we should do every day!
We also had a lesson with a less active family. Their father is in prison and was supposed to get out but some things happened and he will have to be in for a little longer. The family was super sad when we went over. We went and talked with them for a little while and the whole time I was thinking what to share with them. Then the thought to invite them to fast came to my head. So I shared a scripture on fasting and invited them to do it! They said they would. They also came to church! It was super cool to see them at church. We are going to work with them and make sure that they come to church every week. The dad isn't a member and I want him to be thrown right into the church when he gets out!! But they are super cool. It was the blessings of following the spirit!
Things have been going good here! I love it here in San Benito. I'm scared of how fast the time is going by. I'm not sure if I'm going to go another transfer here. I sure hope so. But I love everything about it here! I love you all!
Love,Elder Hurst
