Hola Todos!!
I realized that I never told you guys who is my companion! It's Elder Martinez from Monterrey Mexico!
This week was pretty cool!! We started trying a new way to work here in the Zone recently, which President Packer had taught us when he came a few weeks back, and this last week was awesome!!
The Elders and Sisters here in the Zone simply applied what we learned, and then went to work!! By Saturday night we had almost 70 people with baptismal dates in the Zone!! More than double than what we normally have.
The way to work is first: Exact Obedience, to have the Spirit. Now that we have the Spirit, we use it to find personal revelation. This Personal Revelation helps us to work more efficiently in our purpose, which summarized is, Find, Teach, Baptize, and Retain New Members. President Packer said if we would do this, and if we make our teaching better, we would be able to baptize 4 times the amount of people!
And the Zone, now 2 weeks in the Transfer, is doing very well with it, and we're seeing some progress that we have never seen before!! It's awesome!!
We are teaching a few families here. The Reyna Family is from Peru, and they are all going to church. The parents need to be married, but their son will be baptized this week, his name is Leopoldo.
We also have a woman Named Diana, who's preparing to be baptized. Her husband, Erico, is getting ready as well, but he's struggling with some things still.
There are lots of others who have been listening to us, but the last one to mention is a active member's husband, Oscar. He's been listening to the Missionaries for awhile, but he hasn't been able to give up smoking. We are starting to work with him as well.
Love you all!! Have a great week!!
Elder Ryan
