Hello Mom,
Well I wrote this all in word, because the internet is down. But I am using a laptop of Hectors with personal internet, so it is all good. Sorry no comments about your email.
Well it was a good week. I got back with my comp on Wednesday when Labra went home. It was pretty good to be back with my comp and be able to work like normal. It is nice having a good teacher by your side.
This week nothing too exciting happened, but it was good. Friday I was able to do a baptismal interview in Mburucuya. It went really well, and afterwards we had one of the coolest lessons of my mission. We went to a part member family that we have been trying to teach for a long time. The dad, is member. His wife isn’t, his 15 year old daughter isn’t either. They also have 2 more kids that aren’t quite to baptismal age yet. Well we were finally able to teach them last week, and Friday was the 2nd visit. As we were talking about their experience with their commitments, it was incredible. We had committed them to pray as a family, and they had prayed every single day together, except for one. The daughter had read about 12 chapters in the BOM and loved it. She shared a great experience, she said that she had been wanting to go to Germany as an exchange student, but it didn’t happen. 1 Nephi 9:6 answered her why. It wasn’t God’s will. As she shared this, she broke down in tears. The Spirit was so strong. Her dad took over from there. He explained that they had tried to do everything to get her to go, but in the end everything just went against them. They had tried to console their daughter like any good parent would, but it was the scriptures that were able to do it! Oh yeah!!!!!!! The Spirit was burning! Personally I think it was because God knew that we would be stopping by to teach the family… But God knows why.
This week in church we had a miracle when Maria went to church. She was an old investigator that Richins had found, but stopped progressing due to family pressure and doubts. Well when I was with Labra, I felt impressed to stop by and visit. It was weird because I knew that she usually studies English at that time, but we went anyway. She was home because she was recovering from Dengue. She has been super humbled and prepared for baptism. A member died recently that was like her mom. She had a dream with that member and felt that it was time for her to be baptized. Also Elder and Sister Spencer, temple workers, had visited her and her mom and softened up to them a lot. All of these things combined, and well…. She is now preparing for baptism. But she is making a trip to New York first, in March. Hello Natali! She is going to go to church while she is there! So she will need to find Natali and go to church with her. Except it would be better if she went to a Spanish ward, because her English isn’t super good… hahaha.
Well. Love you all. Alma 41:8 hit me pretty hard this morning. The Lord’s decrees are set, he who wants to walk in the Lord’s ways will be saved. Pretty simple. Can’t remember exactly how it is and I read it in Spanish… Sorry… Haha go ahead and look it up.
Have a great week. Love you all.
Love, Elder Naegle
This is a lot of rain we got today. Good thing it happened after I went to TGI Fridays... Haha. I bought lunch for my comp for his birthday. Just so you know Mom.
Love, P
