Hola
Everyone:
This past week was really pretty good. As I mentioned when I got here, the Bishop
has asked that we really focus our time and attention on finding members in this
area that have gone inactive. To let you
know how bad it is, there are over 800 people on the records as being members
of the Ward and less than 200 are coming every week since I have been
here. I guess it makes a lot of sense,
work on finding the Lost Sheep rather than finding new ones to bring into the
fold!
Last week while contacting, we did find one new investigator
that we are teaching now, his name is Paulo and honestly, he has a lot of
questions. We taught him the 1st
lesson this past week and it took quite a long time to get through the lesson
which is alright! He is doing really good, so we will have to see how that goes
with him. We have another lesson schedule with him this week. I hope he will
really start to progress!
Also, this week while we were out with the Ward members
finding the less actives in the area, we found a family that had just stopped
going to Church, but wanted to come back.
They have 2 young girls named Erika and Leathi, ages 10 and 11 who are
not Baptized, but would like to be so we are working with them and have a date
set up with them for Sept 8th. We are also hoping that we can get their Dad
ready since he already holds the Priesthood, so that he can perform the baptism
for his girls.
Other then that, it has really just been a normal week. This area is really pretty and it is nice to
sort of be out of the city for a change!
So, something that also happened this past week. I was playing with some members and twisted
and felt a sharp pain in my knee! No,
not the one I had 2 surgeries on, the other one. Well, it really didn’t swell up like I thought
it would, but it still hurts a little so I guess I will have to take it a little
easy to let it heal up.
I love being here in Mexico, the people are great! I hope everyone has a great week.
Love
Elder Fawcett
