This week was amazing! Sister Bennett and I are working hard down here in Weslaco/Donna. We're talking to absolutely everyone we see and have some solid return appointments every day.
We had a trunk or treat activity this Tuesday which was really great! A ton of people from the community came and Sister Bennett and I painted faces :) a lot of the people we're teaching came too!
We has a volleyball activity this Friday and a part member family we're teaching came. Her name is Petty and two of her sons were baptized a long time ago. Also the Valdez family (love them!)came. It was so good to see the fellowship and just everyone having fun at the church. We watched a video about Jesus Christ and it was really good to have the Valdez's explain their conversion story. Working with members=miracles!
We're also working with the Luna family. Sister Paskett and I knocked on their door late at night, and the 15 year old Davin opened the door. He was super excited to see us cause he was at a friend's house and the other sister missionaries talked to him and gave him a picture of Jesus. We asked him to get his mom and siblings and we watched a video about Christ. This family has so much light and we're excited to teach them more.
We're really trying to figure out how we can help reactivate and retain people in this area, and help them be able to take the sacrament every Sunday! If you have any ideas shoot them our way:)
