Minivan member missionaries

We had a good week here in a Semoran! We work hard, bike hard, and laugh hard. 

Yesterday was absolutely amazing!  After church we had made plans to go with Hermano Sanchez to An investigators house to introduce them and help our investigator make friends with some of the members. Well because Spanish people love their Countries and missionary work, word got out and we ended up having the Cerrato's come! S/O to Hno Sanchez and his minivan for driving us.

The lesson was AMAZING! They did exactly what us missionaries want members to do in lessons! Their testimonies and friendship where exactly what our investigator needed! They used scriptures, shared personal experiences of their conversion, and their testimonies. They invited him to pray and ask and even though we had been teaching the same thing, it finally clicked!  We then went and visited some other members and it was so amazing to see the Lord work through the Cerratos and Hno Sanchez to share exactly what these sweet Members needed to hear! They said they had so much fun they want to do it again. 

Members are the key to successful missionary work! I love member missionary work!!!! I’m so so very grateful for the incredible, humble, charitable members of the Semoran ward in the Orlando Stake. 

One of the members said something that I hope to keep with me forever. He said, “Members think that Sundays are meant for going to church, eating a nice dinner, and taking a nap. But in fact, the best way to spend the Sabbath is to do missionary work and visit the members!" I couldn't agree more! Even a short 15 minute visit can make someone's day and help edify the kingdom.

I hope you all have a Happy Valentine's Day! I love every one of you!
