Hey how is everything going this wonderful Monday?!
One thing I just remembered is that mothers day is coming up! Asi que vamos a poder hablarnos cara a cara!! Yeah! Haha sé que es un poquito temprano pero me hace feliz! I heard also that it was Pop Pop's birthday a little while ago so HAPPY BIRTHDAY POP POP!! I sent you off a letter!
To to begin the letter we have the funny story of the week which has to do with the title of this letter.
This week we were going over the list of menos activos and we went to a house where a menos activa told us that she had changed religions and that she is testigo de jehova. Haha and she lives with another girl teenager that is testigo de jehova tambien, and immediately they both tried to convince Elder Delgado and I to change religions and go to their church haha. We listened to them for awhile and we had a nice conversation about prophets and about the Book of Mormon and they didn't know that either even existed!! So we're going to give a BOM to them both, and I know that if there is one thing that can change a person, is it the BOM! But yeah it was a little weird being preached to.
Also this week we found a Mcdonalds and I was able to eat a good ole american hamburger! haha i´ll send the pic.
The work here in Montevideo is going good! We had a big choque de fuerzas, that is when all the misioneros and members of one ward meet up and we hit the streets and contact and vistit menos activos and investigadores! It was good to get everyone involved and were able to help out the area of the misioneros, with about 50 referencias! Also this week I had the chance to do divisions with the zone leader Elder Mella, he is an awesome elder!! He is from ogden with about a year and a half in the mish, but we did work in his area!! I learned a lot from him, and it was weird being with someone all day who spoke english, after about 6 months staight of latinos haha.
The bautismo de nuestro investigador Angel is oficial for the 3rd of May because it was announced yesterday in the church while he was standing up being proud as can be. We also had an awesome investigador named Juan Carlos come to church. He is the dad of family that is all member! To help his recieve an answer to his prayers, we left him a sticky note that says pray on your knees before going to bed, and we had him stick it right above his bed haha. Also I told all his little kids to remind him about his note everyday, looks like it is working cause it was his first time in church after a long while.
To finish i will leave you all with 2 nefi 2:7, I love this scripture because helps me understand the role of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Justice demands perfection and our loving Savior met this demand by living a perfect life, and now he has the right to ask something from us. He doesn't demand that we are perfect, but he asks that we are at least willing to be. And when we are willing, he will make up for the rest. I just want you all to know that I am grateful for a merciful Savior who I love and that I love you all of you! May we all try to be heading in the right direction.
con cariño
elder watts
