Hey family!
Well to start off, lots of crazy stuff/announcements were made!
First the other day I went to a sports dr to check my knee! and it is well! just need to do some physical therapy, but I think I'll just wait til I get home! they want me to do it 3 times a week for 28 times! sister riggs said that I can just go to the first three and take their exercises and then just do them on my own! (don't get worried or anything, its not bad. just tweeked it or so last October then I realized it was still bothering me and then I realized it that was a year ago, so I thought I'd better get it checked) so I hope the charge isn't too much for you! if so I'm sorry.
On Friday I had a meeting and they announced that all the missionaries in this mission in middle November will be on facebook and the internet(Skype, emails etc) to proselyte! but I am having to use it now to test it, it scares me haha. We need to focus on our assigned area of labor but we can also do work with family or friends who are less-active or non-members! its great to be able to use these tools to bless literally everyone! the other big announcement is that in December we will be getting ipads and iphones to be able to help us more with this purpose! each missionary will have their own ipad! I'm excited for that haha!
Wilbert and Natalia have been progressing a lot! the sad thing is that they have to move by the end of the month! we have been praying and fasting and yesterday at stake conference (I'll explain more about stake conference) we met a new member who just moved here and is single but lives in a bigger house and we got to talking and he is looking to rent it the beginning of November! and it is still in the limits of their daughter's school!!! it is such a huge miracle!!!!! God has been putting huge miracles in our path! and I'm not sure why! haha but I'm not complaining ;)
Last week we helped a man late at night with his groceries and we introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back and he said yes! so we go back and meet his wife and just get to know them all a bit better when the wife tells us that she is a member but hasn't been in 6 years since she moved here! and that they were previously getting taught by missionaries but that they just moved in to that apartment! Javier (the husband) is really interested! yet again another huge miracle!
So stake conference here was really nice. we had Elder Falabela and Elder Gerard of the seventy come! and on sunday after it finished our old town ward got to have a special lunch with them and then a special meeting as well! it was so cool! Elder Falabela is from Gautamala! he talked to the ward a lot about tithing and keeping the Sabbath day holy! and our bishop, Obispo matos got called into the Stake presidency (for good reason, he's awesome!) so right now we are "sin Obispo"
This past Tuesday I went on an exchange with an elder who is newish and is with a native companion and has been having some depression because his companion controls and does all the talking in the lessons. I hope I was able to help him out. and at night he had a meeting with President , and at the end President gave him a blessing and I got to anoint and stand in for the blessing! and man, it was a very powerful blessing! President is such a good man!
This weekend we helped a family move! only 2 men from the elders quorum came to help...so we were there for awhile! ha here in the Spanish wards we as missionaries take the place of the elders quoroms...its great to serve just that is takes longer and we could use more of that time for other purposes! but oh well!
We went over to give yasir our recent convert a visit when his parents opened to the door and said he wasn't there. so we came in and talked with them. usually how our lessons go with them is almost just a battle and we actually almost dropped them until this lesson! it went super good! we feel that with yasir's baptism it has soften their hearts! so hopefully they keep doing better! it was really crazy to see that change in them! it was a spirit filled lesson and they both felt it!
I also called the crest people to complain and they are sending me a coupon for a whitener mouth wash and if I want to get the free clean I have to fill out some paperwork! so if it doesn't take too much time I'll do it haha!
Everything else is going really good! transfers are nov 14 so you still have time to send stuff to that same address!
Its really great to be able to see how fast the work is truly hastening as we are getting ready for the Second Coming! It's great!
sure love ya'll
Con amor,
Elder Lifferth
