HOLA!!!
Well, guess what? I´m staying in Esperanza!!! WHoooo!!
And I am still with Elder Clayton. Maybe I´ll spend my whole mission here
huh? But that’s all good because I LOVE ESPERANZA!!!! This past
week was really good. We have a new investigator named David, and he
wants to be baptized!!! I don’t have any problems with that. His
baptism date is Nov. 6th, so we will see if he makes it. He knows a lot
about the gospel and he has already read the whole Book of Mormon. Pretty
cool right? He just came out of nowhere, one day just showed up to church
with his wife that is a less active member. Interesting how the Lord
prepares people. We have been searching for new investigators for 3
months and then one shows up at church one day. Tender mercies from the
Lord!
Also this week we had a baptism in Esperanza again!
The wife of our Ward mission leader finally decided to get baptized.
Esperanza is growing slowly but surely! We had two investigators assist
the baptism. David and another named Marcela so that’s awesome!!!
Marcela is another Investigator that wants to get baptized, but she is
juntada. Living with a guy but she’s not married, but we are working with
her! So yes, there is hope in Esperanza. I am excited to be here
for another six weeks. I have seen this area grow so much and I love
it. We are beginning to see the fruits of our labors, so that is always
rewarding! But we have to keep on working anyway and having trust in the
Lord.
I heard a quote a week or so ago that really touched
me. ¨Joseph Smith never saw the rebuilding of Zion.¨ Joseph Smith is a
perfect example of trusting in the Lord. He gave his life for the gospel
and never saw the full extent of his work. I´ll admit I was down a little
bit because we haven´t been having much success, but when I heard this I got
excited. If Joseph Smith can give his life for the work and not reap the
benefits, then I can plant seeds all day in Esperanza. I love being a
missionary. It is awesome!! Keep moving forward in the faith. Have
an eternal perspective like Brother Joseph and everything will be alright! The
Lord is by our side! Have a great week everyone! Love you all!
Love,
Elder Maynard
