Hola!
This week I had to pull out all of my sweaters and my
coat. The cold is coming. No one sits outside anymore to drink
mate. It´s a lot easier to contact when people are drinking mate.
But that doesn´t matter. The work moves on!
My comp and I have been trying our best to take advantage of
opportunities to share the gospel. On the city buses we have been introducing
ourselves and handing out pamphlets of the Plan of Salvation and the
Restoration. It´s a rush to put yourselves in front of lots of people who
look at you like a deer in the headlights. It´s a good rush.
Yesterday was a good day. Everyone on the bus accepted a pamphlet, we
didn´t have enough. I watched all the people, and some people just put it
aside, others flipped through a bit, and some kids were throwing them
around. But I saw one guy who read the whole thing. The whole deal
of the Restoration. I went and sat by him to see how he liked it.
The first thing he said to me was ´´So what is the story of Joseph Smith?´´
Hmmm I like that question. Let me answer it for you. He ate it up
and he wants missionaries to pass for his house. Let´s go! I was too excited.
The Spirit can be in all places, even a loud, crazy city bus.
We have found a lot of potential in our area this
week. We came in contact with an Inactive member who wants to return to
church. His wife, and 6 of his 9 children aren´t baptized. Elder Bednar
says that partial member families are gold mines. I think we found
ourselves a gold mine. We have a lesson with the family tonight, we will see
how it goes. My comp sometimes sniffles his nose and says that he smells
baptisms haha I smell Baptisms cookin.
We have also come in contact with an old investigator named
Maria. We tried to teach her the restoration but she is kind of crazy and
goes off topic. Anyway she accepted a baptism date for 27 of May.
We shall see.
I know the church is true! I want everyone to accept
it, because it is the only way to have true happiness in this life and the life
to come. I love my family a ton and I am excited for mother´s day next week!
Whoooo! Everyone keep moving forward with faith and we will see each
other next week!
Love,
Elder Maynard
