Hola queridos!
Wow this week flew by, just like the previous 52 did.
The last Sunday was awesome! I love my family a ton! Thanks for all of
your love, support, and smiling faces. My family is the best!
Elder Pearson and I saw a group of kids playing basketball
this week. We set down our bags and asked if we could get a little game
going. It was 5 teenage Argentines against the American Warriors. (5
against 2) The jump shot is a little rusty, but if I do say so myself, it
is still pretty smooth. We schooled these kids in two games and now they
think that Mormon missionaries are pretty cool. And they all now have a
little picture of Jesus. Spreading goodness by getting Buckets.
Everyone tell Luke Michael Maynard that ´´I get Buckets!´´ haha
We have been knocking hundreds of doors. It is an
adventure. You just never know what you are going to get. The Lord
also provides the way, so with a little bit of faith, miracles happen. We
knocked on a door and a single mother of an 8 year old baby answered. Her
name is Carol and she kindly brought out chairs so that we could share the
message of the restored gospel. No one has been through a rush unless
they have taught the Restoration to someone who has never heard it
before. It is the best feeling in the world. The spirit testifies,
EVERYTIME. That being said, we asked Carol if she believed that it was
true, and she said Yes. She accepted an Invitation to be baptized and she
wants to come to church! Vamos Israel!
There is nothing better than being a missionary. I
love Doctrine and Covenants 24:12. It says that if we open our mouths to
share the gospel, God will give us strength that isn´t known among men.
How cool is that? God helps us and strengthens us so that we can bring
the world His truth. I invite everyone to be a missionary and find a
referral within these next few weeks to the missionaries. If you open
your mouths, you will have strength that isn´t known among men! That is the
coolest thing that I have ever heard. Go out there and be super heroes
this week! I love you all tons! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Maynard
