Cuohotemoc Week 7

 We are finally back to the green light with almost all normal rules. We can street contact, door knock, teach in person, teach inside houses, eat inside houses, and fist bump people.

 

We had some excellent lessons this week let me explain some of the best ones we had

 

We had a lesson with Hermano Octaviano over the phone. He is the father of the Hermana Blanca. We taught him about the plan of salvation and his purpose here on the earth. We got him committed to coming to church and then Sunday just before church started, he came and he really enjoyed it and said he would be back next week! The Sunday school topic was about temples and vicarious baptisms for the dead, something that he had never heard of before so he enjoyed it 

 

We had an awesome lesson with an inactive member named Gabriel Adriano and his non member wife names Lizeth. Earlier in the week we would taught just the hermano Gabriel about the laborers in the Vineyard. He is an inactive member that got baptized over 8 years ago, and since then he found himself getting lost into the worldly things of drinking. The interpretation of the parable explains that it doesn't matter how long it takes for someone to return to God and their covenants as long as they do, the we will have the same reward of exaltation and eternal life. So in a later lesson that week with him we went to his house and met him and his wife in person and we taught them restoration and it went really well! Afterwards they invited us to eat and we had chicken and bean burritos.

The Hermana Lizet is going to the Doctor this week for health problems so keep her in your prayers.

 

We had a really nice lesson with la Hermana Silvia. She explained to us that both her mother and father had passed away, and that her kids are gone so she is lonely living by herself. We taught her about the spirit world and the resurrection and the hope that it can give her to know where her family is now, and that she will be reunited with them again. She was crying and was very grateful for our message.

 

We taught some less actives aa well. One hermano names angel Moreno we reviewed the restoration and he is going to invite his family to church and take the missionary lessons, as he is the only member in his family. He has been coming to church for the past few weeks in a row. 

 

We had a lesson with hermana Blanca about eternal families and temples and sent her the video of the Apostles giving a tour of the Rome temple and she really enjoyed it. She said next week she will be coming to church with her father Octaviano!

That's all for this week!
