Temple Open House and combies

October 21, 2008

well this week was pretty average as far as it has been going here. we once again had allot of people set up to come to chuch and none of hem came. so that is a bummer. well i really tried to prevent that this week but i guess im not good enough. hhahaha. so i tought the sabboth day to this family of 6 that we commited to come. the guy works on sundays and i told him that he should test God to see if He would bless him for not going to work and going to chuch. he was really excited after my lesson and said that he was going to do it. well we passed by their house on sunday morning and they had left to go to work, all of them. so that was lame. now for the good news. yesterday (monday) we got the opportunity to help with the open house of the mexico city temple. it was the first day of the open house so there wasnt an amazing amount of people there. but it was a great experiance. we helped the people get from the exit of the temple to the place where theey can write comments and say if they want to learn more. so, we had allot of missionaries there helping so i had some time to go invite people to come. there is a stopligt in front of the temple and i stood out in front with another gringo that dosnt know spanish. when the light tuned red and the cars stopped i would go and talk to the people in there cars and invite them to come to see the temple. it was really cool. i also jumped on two combies (busses) and told all of the people on the buss that they should come to visit the temple. it was really good i gained allot of confidence in talking to stangers so hopefully i can keep it up. today i also talked to all of the people on the combie. its fun i feel like one of the gus that sells chicle o algo asi. hahha well this week was ok for the work. we need to work harder if we want to seee the results. im going to really focuss on contacting and the open house this week. i hopee we can get some people to come to church this week. weel see what happens. its all up to the Lord this is His work. all we have to do is find the people that He has prepared to recive His gospel. well thats about all folks, thanks for the emails and keep in touch
