We had a good week this week! The highlight was yesterday, when we had one
of our investigators come to church! So originally we didn't have anyone commit
to come to church so we were bummed about that. But Sunday morning we got a text
from one of our investigators and she asked us what time church started. So we
told her and asked if she was going to be coming, and she said "quizas vaya" or
maybe I'll go. So the first hour went by and we didn't see her come in. We sit
outside of the chapel to translate so we were super happy to go into the chapel
after the service and see that she had come in and brought her three children!
She stayed for the other two hours and her kids went to primary. One of her kids
really liked it, and the other didn't. He was a little upset that our church
didn't have a playground haha. But it was great. Overall she really enjoyed her
experience and even committed to coming next week as well!
Apart from that this week has been a good fulfilling one as well. Even
though Elder Mickelson and I didn't see tons of personal success, we worked
really hard and know that we did our part. Sometimes other peoples agency can be
frustrating. However, it's also one of the greatest gifts that God has given us.
God's given us agency, and with that agency we have the responsibility to make
right choices and follow His gospel. Agency however, also gives us a big
responsibility. As it says in Doctrine and Covenants 101:78- "That every man may
act in doctrine and principle pertaining to futurity, according to the moral
agency which I have given unto him, that every man may be accountable for his
own sins in the day of judgement." So with our agency, we know that we will be
responsible for our actions. Then, let us strive a little harder to choose the
right. To keep God's commandments, and to reject the natural man and his
tendencies. And I promise that as we do so, we will feel a greater peace in our
lives and a greater appreciation for our personal agency. Thank y'all so much
for everything that you do! Have a fantastic week.
Love,
Elder Adams
(I also forgot to say in the letter that one of our investigating families
moved back to Mexico this week, we'll miss them! They're here in this first
