That's fantastic that you have been 32 years married! It really is incredibly important to have and keep those relationships of the family. When we arrived here in Republicano, Elder Clark and I both felt like we should work in the Arriba part of our area, and with part member families. Republicano has a part that would be fairly easy to baptize in, but we both felt that we should be working a little differently.
So we started to work with all the members, trying to help them be strong in the faith and be united families. For the first little while it was a little difficult because we weren't seeing a lot of the "success" that we wanted to see. But as we`ve continued to do as we feel the lord would have us work. We began to see more people come to church again, and we are seeing families getting ready to be completed in the church. Husbands and wives and children of members are listening to us and getting ready to enter the waters of bautizmo. And in reality I've come to realize really how important the family really is. We are really excited to see these people, now as families progress in the church and be the saints of the latter days. Because if we really do want to resist the temptation that exists in our world at this moment, we need to do it as families, because that's how the lord wants it done, and that's where His strength is.
This week as well we did a "big missionary" for a day activity. We organized a bunch of the members into companionships, taught them what to do, and sent them out to work for the morning day. In the first 2 hours of the morning we came back to the church with 65 references to visit. And then we did some other activities during lunch and the afternoon. Really when we prepare ourselves to be missionaries, the lord will provide a way for us to share the gospel. We should all follow the counsel of the profeta when he said, "Every member a missionary", because when we are ready to be missionaries, we will be filled with the spirit and be ready to be tools in the hands of the lord.
Take luck (Dance harder)
