Well, another week here in the mission.
Honestly, not the craziest week of the mission, but nothing to complain about…
We started of the week with visiting a reference from Cayambe, my old sector! We went to go and talk to her and wow she was so prepared. She has felt super sad lately because she lives alone. Her daughters are grown up and don’t live with her. Also, her husband cheated on her and left her. So we came just planning to teach her the normal lesson about the Restoration and stuff which was awesome. But we had to change everything up and honestly it was amazing the lesson that we had with her. She told us that she has been needing an answer for a very long time, and she finally received it. We were so shocked to have received such a miracle… Such a blessing.
As well this week, we were able to visit Jhonny and I don’t know if I’ve ever met some body so prepared in my life for baptism. We asked him the other day how he was doing with the Word of Wisdom and he looked at us with like a disgusted face and said, "Are you kidding?" You know that I’m not drinking coffee because I know that the Lord commanded us to avoid it. Hahaha he is so awesome, such a cool guy. He is progressing super well. We just got off the phone with his daughters that live far away, and they told us that they will be able to come up to see his baptism. I’m so excited to see them. They are such amazing people.
This week we were also able to pass by and teach Guilliana and it didn’t start off very well… She told us that she is not willing to take away coffee or anything like that. We were pretty bugged about it to be honest, but we started talking about obedience and how we need to keep God’s commandments because we love him. We showed her the video, “The hope of God's Light,” and it was perfect for her… She learned what she had to do, and told us that she would leave behind coffee for a week. So we are super excited for that. I believe that we will be able to put a baptismal date on her next week, which will be awesome!!
This week passed by so fast, it was crazy… My time here in the offices is almost done, which is awesome, but sad at the same time… I loved General Conference this past week and learned so many things. I loved Elder Rasband's talk on fear. As well, how they talked a lot about staying on the covenant path. Study their words and all will be well. Sorry for the boring email, just that type of week this week haha.
Love,
Elder Copeland
