Hello everyone! I hope this past week has been
great for you all! This week it was blistering hot in Ecuador! I mean, that is
very obvious but still. This week was so good! We have been working a family of
5 this week and they went to church with us and we have been talking about
baptism with them and they understand the importance del baptism y want a lot
of time to prepare. But we are hoping that they will be prepared for the 25th
of this month!
So this week our Mission President came and visited
us! He just showed up during one of our meetings and he let us ask him
questions about the mission to help our investigators. I asked him how to help
people feel more prepared for baptism because of the family that we are working
with right now and he gave me such an incredible insight. He told us that if we
really want to help people feel prepared for baptism we need to listen to the
prayers that the say with us. Because we can tell when they have a desire to
learn more and be prepared when they say prayers that are sincere and say the
things in their hearts. And that had me thinking so much about my prayers. Are
my prayers the same every time I say them personally or are they sincere?
Because we teach people how to pray and the importance that prayers are sincere
but how often do we not do that personally. Because our Heavenly Father hears
all of our prayers and answers them, and how many times do we say simple and
quick prayer because we don’t have time or the motivation to
say a prayer that expresses how we really feel to our Heavenly Father?
And during this week I noticed a huge difference in
this week when my companion and I took to the time to say our prayers
personally and together to say prayers that are sincere and we worked better
together and had a better week! And that is the invitation for you all this
week. Is every time you say a prayer to not just say something super basic, but
to express every thing that you are grateful and all of your concerns or
questions you have to our Heavenly Father and I promise you will have notice
the blessings from Him more.
Thank you all for the support and love! Keep on
being great everyone! I love you all!
-Elder Pincock!
