Anyways, I'm glad everyone is doing well. This week has
been interesting! We have found a few more people that are really great. One of
them is named V. He is 85 years old and he is hilarious, he always said hi
to us when we passed down his street and finally this last week we contacted
him and invited him to go to church. Well he went this last Sunday and he is
preparing for a baptism. But the best part is that everyday when we pass by his
house to teach him, we strengthened his testimony just a little bit more. The first
day we explained the gospel of Jesus Christ and he accepted his baptism date but
also had a lot of excuses why he shouldn't go through with it. The next day he was worried about what
his wife would think but at the end said he would just follow God and then the
last lesson we had with him, we taught the restoration of the gospel and at the
end of the lesson he just said, "I accept your message to be true!" It was
awesome! He is so great and I am so excited for his baptism.
Other than that my
week has been great! We celebrated a few of the members birthdays as you saw in
the pictures and we helped two people get baptized for the other elders. The
two kids have a dad who is a member but he is in-active and his kids have gone to
church a bunch but he didn't want them to get baptized. So on Thursday night I
went with my companion and we had a super spiritual lesson about the importance
of baptism. You could see the Spirit touching the heart of this and
he then accepted to let his children get baptized. I was stoked!
So anyways I had a great week. Thank you for the skype
account and of course I have not forgotten I am way excited and I will make
sure that I can see you guys this time!!
Love to you all,
