This week was very rewarding.
All of our appointments, with the people that we had contacted failed. But the Lord truly guides us to his children that are ready to accept his gospel. We were looking for a family in the mountains and contacted two other people that were digging a hole behind there house. They said yes come down and give us a pamphlet. We went to their house and asked to come in and teach. They said yes, after the lesson we invited them to be baptized they said they would pray to know if it was true. We went back Saturday and they had prayed and felt good. Then I asked, “now what do you need to be saved”? They answered “be baptized ourselves”. They live very far from the chapel and came on there own. Maria is going to get married Tuesday and her and her daughter will be baptized next week. Her husband is already a member.
We had a very spiritual lesson with the family that does not want to get married. I was with a member, we divide to make more visits, I felt the Spirit put the words in my mouth and the family was attentive. The member also gave a very spiritual part about prayer, using King Lemoni as an example. Members are very important and the investigators listen to them because they live with then and they are the same people with the same problems. We left them thinking and I left the letter you guys sent, thanks.
We also taught a large family this year. It was funny, during the lesson one of their Catholic neighbors came in and said “the idol is going to past did you buy the beer”? Then turned looked at me and said “oh” and left. This time of year they carry giant idols through the streets here. This week they were worshiping a black dude San Martin de Porres that brought peace to the country.
We also found a guy that told me he was Catholic and I kept talking to him and he was like, “I’ll tell you the truth I'm Mormon, I just wanted to see how far I could take you”. He invited us in side he was smoking a grit, we had a good visit.
If anymore info about me coming home, comes from the mission, just keep it to you’re self. I’m not ready to thank about it.
