Today
we went to a zone activity (nerf war) for a while, but Elder Ahumada
(assistant) and I had to leave early to get some stuff done before the
assistants left again for interviews and conferences. That being said, I'm
finding some little ways to get the stress back under control, so don't worry
too much about it.
Elizabeth understands the doctrine, but still doesn't really
feel it and doesn't want to feel like she's making the decision just because
her daughter got baptized. Other investigators would be Maria Isabel (total
opposite of a typical person here because she believes in just about everything
EXCEPT the need for a Savior and the fact that Christ is real), Pati (has a
baptismal date scheduled, but needs a friend to bring her to church), and Sasha
(doesn't feel comfortable in church due to a difficult past situation). There
are others of course, but these are the ones whose needs I best understand.
The
best part of the week was just the last couple days I've felt a lot of support
from those around me. We ate really well this week actually, but one thing I
can mention was a churro relleno that had carmel in it. That was kind of fun.
Tender mercies would've been the recently mentioned support that I've gotten.
Also Elder Lovaas (the other assistant) and I had a real good chat yesterday.
One cool spiritual experience was seeing the revelation that the Bishop has in
our ward here. Sasha's big problem with feeling comfortable in church is due to
her past and so I was going to talk to the ward council about it. But before
the ward council we had our meeting as a ward and in sacrament meeting the
Bishop bore his testimony about forgiveness and it was rock solid. So I talked
to him later and he's gonna visit Sasha and her husband this week. I also have
a testimony of the help that the Spirit will give you in key moments if you try
to be worthy of it.
Love,
Elder Finlinson
