So to start
off we met this guy in the park a couple weeks ago and he said he wants
to hear the missionaries and be mormon and believe it or not we get
that alot. Anyway he lives like 20 minutes out of town where we cant
afford to go two to three times a week, but we got his number and said
we would call. So we forgot about him kindof... I know how aweful, and
we went to the Tijuana Temple dedication at the stake center about an
hour away and he sent me a message saying that he and his friend were at
the chaple in alamo but there didnt seem to be anybody around. I cannot
even begin to describe the pain and sadness I have felt. We have had
little to NO new investigators that were even slightly interested and so
we have done so much searching it is just ridiculous and Im dead. So
yeah we felt really bad. But..........
HE HAS
BEEN THE BIGGEST BLESSING. He comes to the chapel during the week to
take the discussions and brings FRIENDS AND FAMILY to the church and to
lessons. He has just really been an answer to our prayers. His name is
German... (Hermaan)
Another thing cool was
later that night after teaching german we were really tired and we
werent having a lot of success and we were starving and it was late and
we were like ok lets go get tacos we dont have time for a lesson. Well
we passed this blue house with a huge dirt lot in front of it so it was
kindof far away and this little thought... like almost not even a
thought told me to contact them. Well it wasnt really a crazy
impressions so I kindof just kept walking and we were around the corner
when the same tiny touch of a though came again to talk to them. So I
was just like... Maybe this is the spirit talking, but I dont think so.
But we went and contacted them and the result was marvelous, and I use
marvelous because we dont use that word a TON in english. The man at
first was like I dont really go to church or want to neither does my
family, and I was like
Oh you live with a lot of family
Yes...
But none of us get along my wife or my daughters and it is really tough
for me. But anyway yeah we dont go to church because as long as you
believe GOD will save us.
Ok pues sepa esto
hermano que realmente eso no es cierto JesuCristo estableció una iglesia
en la tierra muy especifica con doctrinas y mandamientos en los cuales
bendicen nuestras vidas y en torno nos ayudan ser salvos. Pero lo que
pasa es que tenemos que seguir estos mandamientos como guardar el dia de
roposo y intonses podemos recibir estas bendiciones.
shoot hahhaha I just realized I started writing in spanish, haha
We
basically I wrote about how the gospel blesses families if we apply
ourselves to the gospel and go to church and obey the commandments.
He
let us in and we taugh all their family and they were all attentive and
all expressed their desires to change and be more united as a family
and we had just a wonderful lesson completely guided by the spirit wow
It still blows my mind, Its like I didnt ever have to think the words
just came out. And they came to church this week and are going to
progress just amazing.
To be honest I have
changed so much. Im not lazy anymore, I am not irresponsible anymore,
Im actually kindof a go getter and It makes me really happy because I
feel like I am developing habits that are really going to affect me for
the better for the rest of my life.
Im really
enjoying teaching too, like... Knock on wood... lately I have been so
intune with the spirit that the lessons have been so dynamic and I find
and alleviate people's questions and doubts so fast that Im just loving
it right now... now watch I say that and this week is gonna kick my
butt.
But yeah I think Im pretty different from when I left which is a good thing, like Im still me but Idk I just feel different.
Anyway I love you all and hope you have had a great week thanks for all the emails!
