We met a pf (possibly future/part family) that consists of +20 people. We will be visiting them Tuesday. They gave us cake when we talked to them, so of course we will be coming back.
People contact us now, which is very, very great. It makes a missionary very happy.
Cesar brought us a man who lost his family (he was not married to his spouse, but they had 20 years in union libre) due to her having relations with another man. He has a testimony already, and he will be baptized on the 25th.
Concepciòn is progressing nicely, although slowly.
We will be talking with Nancy and her mother this week, but I'm not sure if they will be baptized. So, in one week we shall know who stays and who goes.
This is something I have found very useful with the people we talk to: the road to hell is paved with good intentions (el camino hacia el infierno es pavimentado con intenciones buenas). It gets the point across to people that acts are actually important, not just faith. I have begun compiling a list of useful bible verses to show the harder people that we are speaking truth.
Also, I found something really cool. Read Revelations 14:1-5. If any of these things go against your religious belief, then who are these 144000 people spoken of? This is what the bible says: Verse 1: The lamb (Jesus Christ) will be on mount Zion. Also, the 144000 will have the name of the father written on their forehead, in Spanish it reads only front. So, Jesus will appear on mount Zion (and where is that?) and the 144000 will have written (I say in a nametag) the name of their father (Jehovah is the father of the Israelites following what the old testament tells us, so Jesus Christ) boldly displayed for all to see.[Verse 2: Nothing. :) ] Verse 3: They will sing in front of God, cherubim, and ELDERS (the church, therefore, must have people of this designation) and the song will be one that no one else can learn if they are not one of these redeemed ones (they will be redeemed, or literally they will be bought, much like Jesus was bought with the infamous 30 pieces of silver). They will have already been payed for by Jesus. Verse 4: These souls will be virgins, and will be men, and will have served or will be serving missions (not contaminated with women {God has established his laws, if it specifically says this, that means it applies to the opposite sex} because they will be virgins. They will go where the Lord wants them to go {mission}) and they are the first to be redeemed out of the world (firstfruits for god and the lamb). Verse 5: They will be absolutely trustworthy because they will not have part in deceit. And with all of this, they will be spotless before the throne of god. Interesting right? Keep in mind that some words may be slightly different due to the wide variety of bibles used in the world today. Also, mine is in Spanish,and yours in English.
