The weather here has been a little chilly! We are walking and biking still and It will probably be like that for awhile. It is okay, I don't mind it. It means we get to try and talk to people. I say try because usually no one wants to talk to us lol usually they yell out "MORMONS!" and everyone runs away lol so street contacting goes okay lol
So we are dropping a lot of our investigators because they are not progressing. So the idea for missionary work is to find an individual willing to let us teach them and leave with them for certain commitments that invite them to repent and to prepare for baptism. So for example a commitment invitation could be for them to "Will you read 2 Nephi 31 before our next visit on Thursday, and pray to know if baptism is the path you should follow?". So people accept the invitation, but they don't do it therefore they are not progressing and after awhile if they are not progressing then we drop them so we can focus on people that are willing to keep commitments. We still keep in touch with them and help them and love them, but we just stop seeing them frequently.
We haven't added anyone new because everyone is white... therefore we can't teach them, all the Mexicans we find live in Mexico. So it has been hard.
So i went on exchanges with Elder Cuautli and we went and had a pretty interesting day, we went and taught someone that was on the street and I swear that this guys must've had some sort of leprosy or something his leg was jacked up!!! We went and taught him and left him a book of Mormon, but it was crazy!
Last Night we went to the Temple and saw all the light with Freddy and Geovany and Yasmin. It was soo cold, but super pretty and they had musical performances. It was super spiritual and Everyone that came with us felt the Spirit super strong.
Love you all!!!!!
Elder Hays
