"Cristian is an inactive member but it's kinda crazy cause like 4 months ago he got shot." October 27, 2014

This week we went to the temple, it was super great to go through for the first time in a while.
I did so many interchanges this week. I did 4 so I almost wasn't with my comp the whole week.
 
We had a miracle in church, Sunday morning we always pass by for everyone. When we had passed by for everyone they all said they weren't going to church. But when we finished the day we had 5 in church... it was so great. The people that came in the morning told us they wouldn't, but they just showed up!!
 
We're teaching a family named Cristian y Karen. Cristian is an inactive member but it's kinda crazy cause like 4 months ago he got shot. He has these scars of a bullet that went in his arm and left the other side and also in his leg, one that went through his bone and shattered his leg, so his leg has this big scar and bump too. And, that's how they met, karen is a nurse and she was helping him in the hospital and since then they have been living together. We're gonna help them get married, and baptized hopefully. Familia Rodriguez who we just baptized went to the temple on Saturday and did baptisms, the 3 of them told me they did 5 baptisms each and Imelda did one for Jose`s mom that died in a car accident in 1984. So that was super awesome to hear! They only have two weeks being baptized, they're great!
 
This week in our zone meeting we taught about the importance of reactivating inactives and retaining the new converts. It made me think about when I was a deacon and teacher and we would always leave church and go get Aaron Daly. Me and chris would always go see him cause we were closer to him and we would wake him up and bring him. That was always something really cool. Even though most the time we thought it was just cool to leave church during church, I know we did it with a real intent to help him. Because everytime we got him to come we felt so great.
 
love you guys
