Well, maybe not the heat, but the experiences that we have although
it's hot. The mission is the best and I wouldn't change the experiences I've had
here to help me learn and grow for anything in this life.
Our miracle for the week...
The other day at 9:30, we had a
cita with our investigator, Jean Carlos. It was awesome! We started off talking
about faith and repentance and eventually led to baptism. We proceeded to ask
him to be baptized, and really, he does want to be baptized. He knows he's going
to be baptized, he just doesn't feel prepared for it right now, but he's going
to pray of the 8 of August is the day the lord had prepared for him to be
baptized and he understands everything really well about the importance of
baptism and all, and I am super excited for him to receive his answer. When we
were done talking to him it was about 10:30, so we really needed to go, so we
started to walk quickly away, but standing a little behind us had been a guy and
when we started to walk he said, "I have a question." He then proceeded to ask
if we were testigos (Jehovah's witnesses), and of course, we told him no and
explained who we were. He then asked about our beliefs and we told him a little
about the restoration and explained the Book of Mormon a little bit. Hermana
cook then had him read the invitation in the introduction to the book and
immediately after he said, " where can I get this book?" I quickly snatched it
out of Hermana Cook's hands and gave it to him and said it was a present for
him. He was a little surprised, and we asked him if we could visit with him
another time and share more with him. He gave us his phone number to meet with
him again. His name is Steven and he's evangelist, and they have a lot of the
same beliefs, so we'll see how it goes. It was literally a miracle though.
Afterwards I voiced "I wonder how long he was waiting there," and Hermana Cook
said that she saw him when he first got there and it was at least half an hour
that he was standing there listening to us, so he heard us talking all about
baptism and everything. It was super cool to talk to him. It was really cool
though too, that all day long I only had one more invitation left to the Joseph
Smith musical for Saturday and I almost gave it away to a few people, but I just
couldn't. I wanted it to be the right person. Steven was that person. I didn't
even have a thought of hesitation in giving it to him as I had with the others.
I really hope and pray that he reads the book and has desires to learn more
about it.
Yesterday, we had Ward Conference
and it was really good. The stake president talked about an experience he had
with his son on the your camp out that they were walking in the middle of the
road with the cliff on one side and the mountain on the other, and his son
pulled him towards the mountain and told him to walk over there. He then
proceeded to explain that we need to walk as close to safety as we can. Yes,
maybe we're safe walking in the middle, but we can gradually drift to the cliff.
We need to be anchored in Christ always and trust in him. That with a few other
things were really good.
It was a great week full of great
moments, and I hope that you all also have wonderfully fantastic moments this
week and that you enjoy the life that our Heavenly Father has given us. Love you
all!
Con amor, Hermana
