This week, many of our investigators were traveling, so we had a long week of knocking doors and making street contacts as we tried to find someone to teach. After one particularly difficult day, in talking with my district leader, Elder Willett, I realized that maybe I could be doing more to find someone prepared to receive the gospel. The next day, Elder Barroso suggested that we knock doors in another neighborhood, since we weren´t having much success where we were. Even though it was a longer walk, we decided to go street by street, door by door, in search for that one investigator who was waiting for us to arrive. We actually found a lady named Vanessa who is incredibly receptive and has passed through many many hardships this year. We felt guided by the spirit as we unfolded the gospel of Christ for her and her family, and they have accepted baptismal invitations! My testimony grew stronger and I remembered how the Lord is the head of this work, and the Spirit is our help and guide. I´m very grateful to be part of it all.
New Years was good. Everyone in the city was letting off fireworks, and we sat up at the top of the house to watch everyone celebrate. I thought about the year, and I´m grateful for all the blessings and experience I gained. I´m also grateful for a fresh new start, and I have many hopes and goals for 2015. For now, we´ll keep on keepin´ on here in the mission field. I love you all, and I´ll see you soon!
Elder Crapo
