Jell-O Cake!

Buenos Dias!

Things this week started out pretty slow. We had dropped most of our investigators because they weren’t progressing. So we have been trying really hard to find new people. Hermana Suliafu and I came up with some personal goals for our companionship. We call it the Law of 5. So there are things that we have to do every day or week but in 5s. One of them is finding 5 new less active families every week. There are so many people here who don’t go to church and no one knows who they are! We always get the same families as references to go visit. So that is our big focus right now. 

So in culinary news I had something new this week. Jell-O cake. An investigator made it for us. She kept saying she was going to make us a cake but with bread and I was so confused. When we got to her house she pulled out a cake but it was really just  Jell-O. But not just Jell-O. To make the cake you put white bread in a pan then pour Jell-O on top, then once it has set it you put whipped cream on it. It was actually really good, and you couldn’t even tell that there was bread in it! I am going to learn how to make it and make it for you when I get home. Get excited because I know it sounds delish :)

Yesterday we went and visited a less active member whose sister and niece died in a car crash about a month ago. Her brother in law is also in the hospital I hear he is in pretty bad condition. But we had tried to visit her so many times before and she was never home. The youth this week were scheduled to go out with us, but we were kind of apprehensive about taking them out to some of our investigators. So we decided we would just go to this member’s house with one of the young women and share a quick message. We kind of went just as a last resort because we didn’t know where else to take her. But I am so glad we went. When we got there, someone came to the door and we sat there for like 10 min just waiting for her. I kind of had a feeling she didn’t have time for us. But after we sang a hymn and shared a message she really opened up. She shared about how she felt so alone and how she felt she was not getting respect from certain people (I have a feeling she meant her husband) but she said how grateful she was that we came because she knew God was looking out for her.

Something I have learned on the mission is how important it is to do your visiting teaching and home teaching because people really need to felt like they are loved and remembered. Not just by the missionaries but also by the ward.

I hope you are all are doing great! I think of you and pray for you all the time!

Love you!
