Wow. What a week. This week went by so fast. It's been a pretty good week. Nothing too special happened. Elder Fredrickson and I have been working super hard here with a few investigators.
We've decided it was time to cut a few of our investigators off for a bit. We've had like 8 or 9 investigators on our board since the first week that my companion came here. We just had a special visit with them, talking about what they were able to learn in the time that they've been visiting with us. Then we tried to ask a few inspired questions, what we were feeling prompted by the spirit at the time. After that, we testified hard. We just layed it all out on the line. After the prayer we put a cita with them in about 3 weeks. Oh we also left something behind for them to read. We made sure they knew that we wanted that they prayed. Then we left!! We just have to keep them in our prayers. I really hope that this time away will help them realize how important our message is.
This week on Tuesday we went to a place called Guinope. Elders haven't gone to this pueblo in over 3 years. We weren't really sure what to expect. It was an hour bus drive from Zamorano and this place in gorgeous. It was super cold too!! It was really high up in the mountains. It was pretty funny getting off the bus because everyone just stared at us. I guess everyone in Zamorano is just used to seeing two gringos dressed up knocking on doors right now. Anyway, we talked to loads of people, but not one wanted to listen to us. It was a pretty big bummer, but the people there were at least nice.
After that on Wednesday we did divisions with the Zone Leaders. I stayed here in Zamorano with Elder Quintanar. It was really cool because we opened the mouth like crazy. We worked in a place called La Quebrada Seca about 15 minutes from our house. We knocked on almost every single door and got 6 new investigators that day. They aren't even chumps either! They're really positive!
So, officially this week, we were able to reactivate Jorge and Socorro Flores. They're amazing. I absolutely love visiting them. They went inactive about a year ago just for a few personal problems they had. Wait, I might have told you guys a few things about them. Anyway. They came to church yesterday and that makes 3 Sundays in a row!! We're going to continue visiting them, but they're officially active. We talked with the branch president to get them callings quick. I am really excited to see them progress.
Well, I love you all so much. I hope you can all visit a few less active members of the church. Members never know how much they can actually do with one visit!!
