Week Eighty-one: You win some you lose some

La luz del mundoTemple of the church of "The light of the world" 
This week we had a few days that were amazing and others that were supposed to be amazing, but didnt turn out so well. On Tuesday we had 6 appointments and went on splits with the members, but we ended up having just a few lessons and only one of the appointments was home. Saturday was the complete opposite. We had almost no appointments, but we went on splits with the members and ended up having a lot of lessons and we saw a lot of progress in our investigators. We saw the most progress with Pedro. He has a long time listening to the missionaries, but has never read the scriptures or prayed. After the lesson we had the other day he said "Ok i think im getting to understand this now. there a 3 things i need to do. 1. Read the Book Of Mormon. 2. Pray 3. Go to Church." Yay! he finally understands!! He came to church again on Sunday and brought his mom (Who is insanely catholic) and a friend!!! 

Here in Guadalajara is the capital of a church called "The light of the world" (La luz del mundo). They have a massive temple here next to our area and we decided to visit today. Ill attach a picture. All of the women in their church wear skirts down to the ankles so its super easy to see if they are from that religion haha. 

My scripture to ponderize this week: D&C 122:7-8 Remember that opposition is part of this life and it is to help us progress!

CHALLENGE: We have visited a lot of less actives in these last few weeks and we have found that the #1 reason for people to not go to church is PRIDE. We as humans get offended very easily because we are naturally prideful. Put off the natural man and become holy through the atonement of Jesus Christ (Mosiah 3:19) Remember why you go to church and the reason why you are a member of the church and nothing Satan throws at you will affect you!

My scripture to ponderize this week: D&C 122:7-8

I love you all! thank you for your prayers and support!
