Hola
Familia
This week has been
pretty great.
So we have been
contacting a lot lately, and on sunday a couple of the people that we contacted
came to church which was really a surprise. We went and taught them. The one
was a guy that many people think is crazy, but when we taught him we found out
that he is a bit weird but he understood what we taught him, and asked good
questions. The others were a bunch of teenage boys that we just said hello to
on saturday night and told them to go to church so they did. We ended finding
where they live during the week and shared with them. One of them is really
interested he said he wanted to be like us and said that he was going to go to
church again on sunday. We were pretty exctied about that. He even came with us
to another lesson to one of his friends.
While we were walking
in the early afternoon, when it is really hot we were walking up a big hill
with the sun beating in our faces. We passed a couple that were cleaning then house.
So it looked like they were really busy and we had a couple of people to visit
that lived pretty far away. We walked a couple more steps when we both looked
at each other and felt like we needed to contact them. So we walked back. He
had shared with missionaries a long time ago. His mother had just died three
months ago and it has been really hard for him. We taught about the plan of
Salvation and he was really interested. At the end of the lesson we asked him
if he would say the pray. The only prayer he knew what ¨our Father¨. So we
taught him how to pray and he said the pray. While he was praying he started to
cry and told us that he felf so much better having talked to us, and asked if
we could come back again to his house. So we put another appointment and left.
It was pretty amazing that we both felt like we should talk to him, and just to
see the results.
While we were
cantacting one morning we found a lady that seemed really interested so we set
an appointment when her husband would be home. We went to the appointment and
found out that he was baptised when he was 14 and was now going to a christian
church. We started to share with him and he started to tell us why the church
wasn´t true because it is formed on ProphteS not just one, then started naming
scriptures where there were more then one prophet in the land. We told him that
the apostols are also prophets seers and revalators. He wasn´t very convinced
and kept up the arguement. A scripture came to mind in Alma 4:19 So I bore my
testimony about how in knew that the church was true I explained how I felt and
that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that this is the true church. The guy
changed he began to think and listen to us. It turned out that we gave him a
Book of Mormon. He wouldn´t put another appointment with us because he work
isn´t set so he is alway in and out of the house so he doen´t know if he would
be home.
We have a family that
is really progressing. We talked about marriage and about them getting married.
They told us that they have wanted to get married for a while and have been
thinking about it. So we were pretty excited about that we have an appointment
tonight to go and see them. They told us that they would have a date picked out
when we come tonight, we just hope that it is in this transfer so that we can
both see it, even if it isn´t it is really exciting.
I am glad that you
guys had so much fun camping and that you guys are able to go and stay a couple
more days this week. It really is a pretty special place. It sounds like you
guys really had a fun time up there. Keep working hard in all that you do and I
hope that you are enjoying the last few weeks of your summer vacation. This
next school year will be a fun one! Keep up all the hard work.For the list that
mom wants: I need another journal I am almost out of pages in this one. I would
like some more music that you can sing to ( like Efy or quertet) stuff like
that, and if you could put them in mp3 form and put as many as you can on a
disk that would be great. Send me a picture of Dad on his mission. if you are
going to send shorts make sure they are size 33 around the waist, 32 is a bit
tight. I can´t think of anything else right now. I love you guys tons!
Have a great week this week!
Con Amor
