As of 02/12/2019 The church is changing the domain in the missionaries' email address. So instead of andrew.bestenlehner@myldsmail.net, it will now be andrew.bestenlehner@missionary.org. You can keep emailing Andrew at the old address if you want, they will just forward the email. But if you would like to update it to the new one, it starts tomorrow.
I am doing good!!! I think this week was once again another trial and it definitely tested my faith!! It was a rough week for us but we dont let that get us down. But on the bright side our zone had two baptisms this week and so that was awesome!! We know the two people who got baptized and they were definitely ready to get baptized! We are working super hard so that we can have a baptism here in Barroca and we know that the lord will bless us!!
Sadly this week we had to cut Michelle and Fernando because they were not progressing and did not want to leave behind old habbits. It was very sad because we did everything we could to help them out and they still could not see it. It makes me really sad when someone decides not to continue on the true path that leads to the Celestial Kingdom... Because they are missing out on the greatest gift ever known to mankind which is Eternal Life.... But hopefully other missionaries will pass there in the future and they can be baptized in the future. We werent able to get a hold very well of Ana Claudia and her family because they had family issues this week. But we taught a family that lives right next to him and it seems like they have potential!! Elizabeth and her sister. Also we taught a lady named Fernanda and she also said that she will read the Book of Mormon and the lesson we had with her was really good and she had a lot of questions. I got a small package at the leadership meeting with the bandaids in it and the cake mix you sent!! We already ate it ha. But other than that I learned a lot about planning and how it is important to plan everything productively. This week I was reading about Samuel the Lamanite and what was interesting is that he was about to give up on teaching but the Lord told him to go back and so he did. Sometimes we want to give up on things because it seems impossible to accomplish, but God will always prepare a way because to him Nothing is impossible. This week I have surgery on tuesday so I know that the Lord will help me to stay positive and keep moving forward.
Love you all
Elder Bestenlehner
