Dearest Famy Fam!
This week we ate lunch
with a member family. I suppose that´s pretty common ha. At times, it´s all too
easy to see the bad, to see the imperfections that plague us all, to see
what THEY lack, or to see what WE lack. Lame, right? Well, during lunch, we had
the opportunity to steer the conversation away from what we don´t do, or don´t
have, etc. and Elder Tait and I we able to say ¨Hey! Lets give 5 compliments,
every single one, to eachother right now!¨ It was a true blessing to see the change that occured, and I know that It blessed that family's life. The mother,
Marcela, after and during, looked like she was going to cry, I think for
relief! Ha, twas' a good experience. Compared to the savior, we all too imperfect, but through his grace, mercy, and love, when can be forgiven.
Continuesly, in Conferences passed, there have been several references to
seeing the world, members, families, people, investigators, etc. not as they
are, but how God sees them, how they can become. Ether 12:4 Moroni 10:32-33
Kyle and Natalia had
their baptismal interviews yesterday, sunday! They both passed, and are
preparing to be baptized Saturday the 20th at 8:00, and confirmed the next day.
You´re all invited! Be there! We´re going to apply a very nifty fancy pants
idea called ¨the box¨ that will help them focus on the fundamentals, and on the
savior. The ward is truly doing a terrific job of befriending them, and they
will be very well taken care of! We are seeing miracles, recieving many
references, through converting those who will convert those, who will convert
those, who will convert those. etc.
We found an excellent
new investigator this past week, Jean Paul. He´s 25+-, and studying, and a lot
of fun to talk to because he´s pretty intelligent. He Studies mathematics.
We´ve only met with him twice, but to the degree we involve the ward in his
conversion, he too will be baptized. Saturday, before we met with him, on the
way to his house, there was a whole band of 10-14 year old kids, with their
bikes and such. I had a bunch of stickers that i carried around with me in my
Book of Mormon, and we gave them all like 3 pass alongs each, and lots of
stickers, with catch phrases such as¨bien!¨or ¨Bravo!¨etc. We felt like Jesus,
as we were flocked by little children.
We´re changing houses
today, and our ward, Clara Estrella, will have 2 more missionaros the 24th!
Should be exciting!
As a mission, we´re
going to the temple May 14th.
Please continue praying
for Elder Tait, Lythgoe, Mortensen, Tlatelpa, Crider- Natalia and Kyle, Jean
Paul, Adline, Orlando, Lo Espejo, Clara Estrella, El Llano, and the
world!
Which was your favortie
conference talk?! Why?
Love you all!
Elder Tasso!
