These past couple of weeks have been a little rough. Not that bad actually but we have had low numbers.
One thing that comforts me is knowing that the numbers don't always reflect the effort! I honestly can say that we have been working our butts off but for some reason have not been seeing the fruit; until yesterday! Yesterday we had 5 people in church and they almost all have a baptism date for this month!
It was such a good day in church yesterday. Oscar Chaile, the brother that got baptized like 3 weeks ago received 2 callings! He is now the ward activity leader and together with his wife they are ward missionaries! On a scarier side, Oscar had a heart attack on Friday! He is apparently alright because he came to church! Also Alejandra, one of our converts from about a month and a half ago came back to church for the first time in a month! She got a little lost for a couple of silly reasons but God put us in her path the other day and we were able to talk to her and set up a lesson. We helped her get through all of her worries and doubts again, and apparently it worked because she came to church and loved it as she always does! Another special guest in church was Lourdes! She is the female rugby player that doesn't live here but comes to visit her aunt who is a member in the ward. She brought more gifts this time! She brought me a rugby ball! It's pretty sweet!
Last night we taught one of our investigators named Grizelda. She is progressing really well! She told us last night about how about 2 years ago she almost died! Well, she did die but only for an hour and was then resuscitated. She told us that when she was dead she was taught by angels and saw the state of those people who misbehave and also that of those who behave in this life! She said that in this life we basically are writing a book with our actions. She said the people who were obedient in their time on earth were relaxing doing whatever they wanted to do; they were in paradise! She said that the people who misused their time on earth were all crammed into a room where they stayed and suffered as they held their book of life and grieved as they pondered on the dumb things they did in their lives! It was crazy what she said! She saw the spirit world! Pretty crazy huh? I swear all Latinos have an extra spiritual gift and as they dream the veil becomes more thin for them! They always have crazy dreams! I feel like half of my mission I have just interpreted dreams!
I hope you are all good! I love you all! And congratulations to the Shadow Ridge Wrestling team for becoming the Region champs! Now lets go get the state title!!!!!!!
con muchisimo amor y agradecimiento,
Elder Spencer McKee
