HOLA!!!!!!!!!!!
Here we are in Progreso, still working away. Tomorrow are cambios, my companion is going and I'll still be here in good ol´ Progre. Actually, I´m pretty excited to be here a full 6 months! I love change, but I´ve learned that the mose important change is the one inside of each of us! We need to continually be learning and changing and progressing, in the mission it's pretty easy to see how to do it.
So what's been going on here.....
On Sunday Sonia came to church!! We are super excited for her but disappointed that her 2 children weren't able to come. We will keep working with them and pray that there dad lets them go. Initially Carlos was pretty reluctant to change religions, but learning about temples and eternal families has really helped him decide to change.
Small side note, remember a while ago there was a call for the members to include the missionaries earlier (and the missionaries to include the members)? This family is a perfect example. One family in the ward had been telling us for more than 2 months ¨we're doing family home evenings with a family, but they´re not ready yet. We´ll let you know.¨ Well, they never let us know, Sonia`s husband himself had to come ask us to visit them and they were MORE than ready.
Include the missionaries as soon as posible! We are a team!!! We're not just here for the people who are ready to enter the font. We are here to help people overcome their trials so they CAN make covenants.
I am super excited about the work we're doing right now! Only good things to come!!
Love,
Hermana DeFranco
