Week 57
This week on Elder Silva's mission it was awesome. We had the opportunity to have a family home evening with the Cortes Perez family and they enjoyed it very much! Also this week Sister Silvia was able to get Baptized and it was very special. We found her or should I say she found us. First she came one day to church on a Sunday by herself and the members of the church became really good friends with her. They even helped her move from her house. We then started to visit her and she was really happy because she was in need of the gospel in her life. She has two kids, one is Maria and the other one is Esteban. She hasn't had a job in a while because she was laid off. So she was really receptive when we taught the lessons and she felt the Spirit strongly and she wanted to feel that peace more in her life.
We also are teaching a young man named Ramon who is the sickest guy. He also went to church by himself and wanted to change his life because he said one day he was sitting in his room and said to himself that ¨he didn't want to keep living the way that he was living." He has been through a lot of things in his life and decided to make a change. He was so excited when we told him that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ we can repent of our sins and have those bad feelings go away. He also accepted to get baptized this Friday and he is very excited! :D
Week 58
This week on Elder Silva's mission it was great. I don't have that much time to write but this week went well. Jose Ramon was baptized and the service was very special and spiritual! The family that helped him change sang a special number at his baptism and one of the young men made a slide show video of pictures of Jose Ramon when he was a little kid. Jose Ramon started to cry and he was very grateful for the support of the members of the church. We are currently are finding more people to teach and during these few days we have found a bunch of people that we are teaching currently. We are hoping that they can be blessed in their lives like I have in my Life :D
Week 59
This week on Elder Silva's mission it was great. We had the opportunity to have a special conference with two Zones. Villahermosa, Gaviotas Zone and President Morales was there with his wife Sister Morales. We had a two hour long practice session with of all the lessons that we teach. At the end of the conference we had the opportunity to play VOLLEYBALL!!! It was super sick, President, his wife and his daughter were playing and it got pretty intense lol. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to play some volleyball.
We are teaching a young girl named Ingrid who is 12 and she is the sweetest little girl. She always serves us water and always invites us to eat lol. She went to church this Sunday and she took us water and a little treat to eat :) The funny thing is that she is the shyest person ever and doesn't like to participate a lot but with us she is a little more open. We are hoping that her mom can support her with her decision on getting baptized because this week we are going to ask her :D
P.S. After playing volleyball my body was killing me #outofshape
Week 60
This week on Elder Silva's mission it was crazy! First one of the greatest experiences happened this Sunday to us. A young man named Reyner was baptized and it was very special. We found him one night when we were walking and had a set lesson with a kid named Omar. So while I was walking all the houses started to look the same so I knocked on a house thinking it was Omar´s house and out comes Reyner. He was really nice and asked us who were and we told him we were looking for Omar. He looked at us and said that there was no one named Omar that lives there. I just thought he was lying to us so I kept insisting that Omar lived there and told him ¨Hey I just talked with him yesterday and I know that he lives here.¨ He then called all his roommates asking if they knew some Omar kid and each one them said ¨No.¨ I also told them that I talked with a kid named Omar the day before. Then they all got scared and thought that their house was haunted or that someone robbed it that day lol. So I changed the subject and told them that we had a very special message that we would like to share with them and they invited us in. We were able to talk to Reyner and a girl named Pamela who is a member of the church but with due to some problems she kind of left the church however, this Sunday Reyner was Baptized and Pamela went to his baptism. I know they are both going to go to church :D
This week was also transfers and I was actually pretty scared because I was the one that was most likely to get transferred out of the area :( I did get transferred out but the crazy part is that I got transferred to the same location I was in but with a different companion -_- I'm literally living in the same house but in a different room lol. So I'm actually really happy to be in the same area because the members are great and it's a sick area! Also my ex companion is still living in the same house so it's going to be sick because he is going to train a new missionary that gets here tomorrow and we are all going to be living in the same house :) My new companion is Elder Knoblec and he is from Washington and has the same time on the mission as me. I've seen him before and he is a really good missionary and I'm excited to work with him here in my new area Parrilla 2!
