Jurupa is awesome! I absolutely love it here! Things are going great! We had a great week and got a lot of work done.
Elder
Warren and I set a goal for ourselves that we would hit the Standard of
Excellence at least once before the end of the Transfer, and we came so
close this week but just barely missed it. It really came down to
things that we could not completely control. So we did all that we could
do, and just missed it. We saw a lot of Miracles, and some
not-so-miracles, but I guess that everything has to have an opposite.
Alfredo is still on track to be baptized this weekend, and he is doing
great! It is amazing how much the gospel has changed his life. He
referred his Mom to the spanish missionaries, and she got baptized on
Sunday. He referred his sister to the missionaries in Eastvale, and her
whole family is getting baptized with Alfredo on Sunday. It is
incredible the power of the gospel, and how it effects families. I wish
that every investigator that I have ever had would share the gospel with
their friends like that. President Mullen has been harping on the whole
mission to ask their investigators for referrals, and now I definitely
see why! It is exciting! Things are going well with Veronica, she came
to church this week and she is keeping her commitments. Unfortunately
she is not progressing quite how we would like. Maybe the Lord has
something else in mind!
I've
been studying in the New Testament a lot recently and this scripture
has stuck out to me. It is in Romans 5:19 "For as by one man’s
disobedience many were made sinners,so by the obedience of one shall
many be made righteous." That really stuck out to me, because it shows
that if we are obedient and keep the commandments like we know we should
then we can influence many to good and to be Righteous.
Well I love you guys,
Elder Bangerter
