Week #42

August 3, 2015

hello!!

Well this letter won't be very long because we are running very very late right now!!! Basta this past week has been a little hard once again. But luckily because our investigators are amazing and so faithful, we had a great turn out at church!!

There is one lesson that we had this week that I would really like to talk about! Yesterday after church we went less active contacting with some members and we stopped at one less actives house who just stopped coming to church 3 weeks ago. Our lesson started out just sharing a short scripture verse in Mosiah 4:30. But it quickly turned around as the family talked to us and told us about their problems!!! As they talked about the fighting that takes place in their home and all the problems they have in their family. As I listened to them speak I suddenly remembered a problem similar to theirs I had in my last area with some less actives. So I talked to them for a little bit and figured that they don't pray as a family. So we taught about prayer.

Basta that's pretty much it for this week. Sorry for the short letter!!!!!

Love,

Elder Child

Notes: 

Brother Valasco passed his baptism interview and will be baptized on Saturday.  That has been Brett's goal since the first day he got to Gandara so he is beyond excited.  Transfers are next week and he doesn't know if he will stay or go to a new area so he is happy to be able to witness that baptism first.  His wife is already a member and they will begin working towards being sealed in the temple next year with their four children.
