Welp, this week was rough. We worked super hard and saw some
really amazingly cool miracles but I'll just tell ya right now I don't feel
like typing today hahahahaha
We're teaching a less active member from the DR who's here
for like 6 months living with his wife and daughter who aren't members. So
we've gone by and taught like twice now and it's one of the most interesting
things ever. Because the wife doesn't quite believe that Jesus Christ is the
son of God it makes the lessons really interesting. It's kinda like teaching
Herbert again because she asks tons of questions and we really have to think in
order to answer them. But it's all good, the daughter named Angie has a son
that's 5 years old named DiAngelo and he's super cool. But at the end of our
last lesson she asked "so how can I know if this is true?" which is
like the best question an investigator can ask. So she's got some potential!
We found a lady this week named Lillian and she told us that
she's Catholic but "doesn't reject the word of God" So we taught her
and it was a super solid lesson and she felt the spirit as we talked about the
restoration and then she says "I know that God must have sent you to me
for a reason" and then she accepted a date for the 3rd of June! She's
super cool and really sincere and has a whole family that we're going to visit
tonight!
Michael is 18 and has a lot of interest in the gospel. He
understands everything really well and it's just cool to see how it's making
sense in his head. He's just such a good guy and wants to do what's right, I
really hope he can be baptized in May. He has a date for the 28th so we gotta
get him to church!
We've faced a lot of obstacles lately as we've tried to
teach more young people... there's always some kind of family member that gets
in the way of their progress, but it's been fun to work around the obstacles
and see how their testimonies shine.
This week I was able to do an exchange with Elder Hortin in
Isabela and it was really cool to be with him. Last time I did an exchange in
Isabela I was with Elder Glissmeyer and we found a 24ish year old girl named
Isabel who lived in Utah for a year on an internship and had gone to church
once and has friends that are Mormons and will be going back to Utah in the
winter to work and live, so she received us really well. This last Saturday I
was able to go back and teach her again and it's just really cool how the
simple invitation that her friend in Utah made to come to church and receive a
Book of Mormon has helped her to receive the gospel here and be really
interested in it. Honestly even though the attempt of her friend in Utah to
share the gospel with her might not have born fruits at that time, I know we
were led to her on the exchange and that she was being prepared to receive the
gospel here in Puerto Rico! She's super cool and we're hoping that soon she'll
make the decision to be baptized!
So always make the effort to share the gospel and don't get
down when you don't see the results right away!
Love you all and Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out
there! You're the best!
30 days man eso esta brutal ;)
