Missionary Moments from San Antonio, Texas: More Round Rock Adventures

Alright so this has been an interesting week!! To get the random stuff out of the way on our way to a F.H.E. we found that their was a high risk traffic stop and that there were guns pointed in the direction we were heading so that was interesting haha.

On the spiritual side we are still trying to get Juanita and her daughter to church. It has become very frustrating because both of them are so ready but Juanita just makes reasons for why she cannot.We also met with a young man who has no religious background. His name is Joseph and he is a friend of a member and is a senior in high school. He speaks no spanish but wants to learn, but yeah he was very open and said he would read and pray about the Book of Mormon and if it is true or not. We met with Eduardo this week, one time was at starbucks and we got some hot chocolate, although all three of us think there was something else in it, oops!!! But he is ready and we talked about Maggie and how she is doing with it. She just does not want to change and she already has a stressful life as a teacher and all different kinds of reasons haha but then we met with him again last night and he showed us magic tricks and stuff but then we shared with him the Plan of Salvation and where we were before this life and why we are here on Earth. He has interesting point of views but he started to understand. Then he asked us how to become a member of our church. It was sweet!! And his youngest daughter Sophia loves us so we know she will want it if he does. He says he has been praying with her every night and tries to read but has a hard time because he only gets 4 hours of sleep.This week we got to meet a family who was a referral from some other missionaries, Jamie and Luis and they have 5 kids in a small apartment. So we got to know them for a bit and what they believe in. Luis has actually read the Book of Mormon before and went to church in Mexico and this was like 10 years ago so he has a great understanding! Jamie was raised A JW but goes to a different church. But she has a lot of good things going for her and we are hoping that she can see the truth in the Gospel because a lot of what she said are pieces of what we have so it will be interesting!! We left 3 Nephi 11 which is Christ coming to the Americas so we are hoping that they will read it!! This week we were listening to a talk by Elder Holland when he visited the mission and he was talking about in actives and return missionaries should NEVER go in active and after sharing the gospel for two years they should be active and helping progress the work. So if you have anyone who is inactive, I encourage you to help them and try to get them back to church and becoming active again.
