hello Everyone, sounds like your all doing good, and that's
awesome that its the open house for the Provo temple ahhh that's so cool enjoy
it I bet its beautiful!! so I don't know if it told you guys but we bought some
bikes, because ha-ha President Munive didn't want to buy us Motorcycles... ;) but
we bought 2 bikes from a pawn shop here, that are pretty good ha-ha they don't
have breaks but, its all good, and now we are going to work a little bit faster
and easier, because of the little towns.
Tuesday we had our district meeting, it was good, than we
got back to Bacobampo, and ate and then we had to start our trip so remember
Andrea and Jesus, how we are working with Jesus and his baptismal date is for
the 27 of Feb. well they live pretty far away, in a little town, the first time
we went it didn't seem to far way because we went with our branch president in
his truck, but yeah its far away ha-ha so we left on our bikes and we were
trying to find it, because its just a little dirt road and your cutting through
fields, but we got there and we were able to teach them a really good lesson,
we taught about Joseph Smith the restoration and the Book of Mormon and its so
cool because they are reading as a family in the book of Mormon and praying
together and everything and when they have a question they work together to
solve it they are awesome! so we taught them and finished and, as we were
returning back to Bacobampo it got dark so we were riding our bikes on a dirt
road without light ha-ha it was pretty intense, but a car passed us and we
watched it as it fell into a ditch, ha-ha, I think the dude might have been a
little drugged, but we pushed his car out of the ditch and it tore off his front
bumper head lights and all ha-ha, and he got out and was like woops, ha-ha didn't see
the ditch, ha-ha we pushed him out and he went on his way with his front bumper
and lights dragging ha-ha, it was the weirdest thing haha. but we got back to
Bacobampo safe and sound haha,
Wednesday we had a lesson with Rosa in the morning and we
had to teach her about Adam and Eve, ha-ha its always an interesting lesson with
people that have been in different lessons, but we were able to explain it well
and she understood the importance of them partaking of the fruit, she accepted
to be baptized but still doesn't want to accept a date!!! ahhhhhh haha its so
hard to hear that when we know that she is ready!!! she knows its true and she
knows she has to get baptized ahahha! but thanks you for your prayers and
please keep praying for her :) she will get baptized
Thursday we were able to have a lot of success! we talked
with and taught a lot of people and were able to find some new investigators we
taught a guy that has a awesome mustache its so long that he had pony tails in
his mustache that are like five inches long I was going to ask him how long it
took to grow it, but I didn't haha, he's a good guy, but we also went with
Randy because we ate with his grandparents who are members, and we talked to
him a little bit about baptism and he also wants to get baptized but doesn't
want to accept a date either!!! We invited him to pray about the date we put
with him and he said he would pray, but I asked him if God answers his prayer
that he should be baptized the 26 Of march would he get baptized and he said no,
that is something normal that I have heard on the mission, and it truly does
amaze me that the people are willing to deny the answer from God, and its
really sad because they are putting the Natural man first, The invitation from
and example that our elder Brother set was to do the will of the Father, many
times when making decisions in life we should do an introspection and ask
ourselves what it is that God wants us to do and not what we want to do but we
are going to keep working with Randy :) also we went with Eva, and had a lesson
with her member husband Jesus Ramon, and we talked about the Prophets and the
importance of a prophet in these days :) they understood really well and we
asked Eva if she would be baptized and she said Yes!!! whooo, but she wants to
learn more before we put a date so we left them with some homework to study
about baptism and we told them we would come back in a few days to see if they
have questions, and to help them understand it better :) we also explained to
her husband Jesus Ramon that is member that he would be able to baptize her and
he got really excited about that so hopefully that helps them :), we also went
with Jesus and Andrea that live in a far away town ha-ha I'm just going to call
it far far away like in shrek haha, but this time we went in hitchhiking, we
had a lot of luck and got a ride from a member that is from Navojoa, and I was
able to talk to him a little about Navojoa since I was there for a good while
haha, he took us right to the house of Jesus and Andrea, and we were able to
give them a quick lesson and, then we went back to Bacobampo in a bus, because
as we were walking down the highway a bus passed so we hopped on and got back
to Bacobampo :) they are still super excited about the baptism but there is a little
problem, they aren't married... and Andrea is married with another guy but
doesn't live with him obviously, so we have to divorce Andréa and her ex-husband
and marry Andréa and Jesus so he can get baptized, its going to be interesting
but we are asking Pres. Munive for help and he gave us the number of Lawyer in
Obregon that is member so we are going to call him tomorrow and see what he
can do for us :) please pray for them so that they can prepare and do the
things necessary to get baptized :)
Friday we took this day to work in the little towns we
worked in 3 little towns the first one is called Campitos, then Rodeo, and
Wirachaka, we were knocking doors in Campitos and we were able to teach some
people, but the whole town is catholic haha there is just one church and its a
catholic so they weren't all to open to hearing us but then we went to Rodeo to
eat with our Branch Pres. and work in his town, then we went to Wirachaka we
were able to visit some less actives and invite them and investigators that we
found to church.
Saturday we had a power house lesson with the sister Adeliza
and Rosa, Adeliza shared her testimony about baptism and we talked about our
purpose in this life and we explained that there are 5 principles that we have
to live in this life to live with our Heavenly Father, they are have faith,
repent, get baptized, receive the holy ghost and endure to the end and we asked
her what she lacks and she said it bright and clearer than day baptism haha so
we invited her to be baptized and she said yes, but didn't accept date!! haha,
we also went with Eva and Jesus to invite them to church and they said they
would go so that was awesome! and we were able to visit a lot of people and
invite them.
Sunday!!! whoo the big day we got to the house of prayer 45
minutes early and when we got there Rosa was showing up and investigator!! more
than 30 mins early to church!! we were shocked she just said she wanted to make
sure she didn't show up late so she could take the sacraments haha!! she has to
get baptized! also Eva showed up Adriana the girl that we are teaching whose
mom wont let her get baptized, and also Andrea and Jesus came from far far away
everyone was befriending our investigators it was really cool and Rosa is going
to a relief society activity with the sisters to make desert for the family
night we are going to have :) we talked about our plan this month in the
branch council and we explained that we are hoping to be able to baptize Jesus,
Adriana, Eva, and Rosa this month but we need the help of the members so we are
going to see what we can do and hopefully it will all work out... We know its
going to work out, and please have faith you guys and pray for this people so
that they can get ready and feel the desire to be baptized this day the 27 of
February, I Know that we can do it!!
Thank you guys for everything and I hope that you all have
an awesome week :) and I know that we are going to see lots of Miracles this
week :)
Love Elder Tanner
