This week was really good, actually. We focused more on doing visits with members to get them involved and we are seeing some great results! We are working very hard with the menos activos [less-actives] in our area, and it's so sweet to see them in sacrament meeting. Hermana Fabiola, who had distanced herself from the Church for fear of the members judging her when she became a single mom, was one of our triumphs this week.
After church she was talking to the bishop and when he asked what motivated her to come back she said that two angels came and rescued her.
It's the neatest feeling to be able to be a part of this rescue that is the work of salvation. The biggest thing that keeps the less active members less active is the fear of others. I never realized the importance it is to reach out to them, to let them know they have friends in the ward, and that no matter what happened or happens with them they are always welcome back. That we are all imperfect and have our struggles.
Also, our investigator Wendy had emergency surgery this week and is on 30 days of rest, so we are hoping that after this she will be able to be baptized. We gave her the challenge to read the book of Mormon in this time and she was pretty excited to start that.
Well, that's pretty much it for this week. I can't get this computer to send my pictures so I will try again next week!
Have a lovely week!
Hermana White
