So Monday we had a correlation meeting with our branch president and I presented a plan for member fellowshipping. We really need the members to help us visit the less actives. They are reluctant and we are frustrated, but I have hope we will have more participation. Then on Sunday we had an area conference in a different Provincia..and President Patanìa came and spoke to the members. He reminded them that the members need to speak up and help the missionaries because just knocking doors isn't effective. So maybe hearing it from him made a difference. We`ll see!
We had met a guy named Jose 2 weeks ago... gave him a quick version of the restauraciòn at his door.. and he said it interests him, but never has time. So we finally stopped by at a time when he was home.. and he told us that he had looked up Joseph Smiths biography on mormon.org.. and read about him. Also watched a video.He liked learning about it a lot.. but when I asked if he prayed about it he said no. He was like "you guys think I should pray?" and we were like.. uhhh. yes. Then he asked some advice for how to pray.. so we taught him, and also talked about searching for our answers afterward..and waiting and listening after praying. He lives with his girlfriend and she listened as well. They are super awesome! I love meeting people who actually take initiative to investigate.
The branch prepared a choir for the conference.. and we sang Did you think to pray, The Lord is my Shepherd, and If the Savior stood beside me. My companion sings really well, so she lead us all. But everyone else here... is pretty tone deaf.So they had the people stand next to me to be able to follow me and find the right note. I thought of how funny it was because I sing so badly.. but here the people think I'm good hahah.
We also spoke with a guy named Nazario... who`s a referral from the internet. He`s super awesome.. hes stoked to read the BOM and has already downloaded the gospel library app! He works in Entre Rios all week.. so we`ll see him next Saturday. :)
Anyway, it was a good week! We`re in Corrientes capital right now because we`re going to have multizona tomorrow! I'm going to see Hermana Rodd!!! I'm so excited for that.Love you Hermana Hall
