Well sounds like you guys are doing a bit of missionary work! That's awesome! Keep that up. We always stress to the members here to look for and pray for opportunities to share the gospel, cause God will help us to achieve the righteous desires of our heart, and that is one of the very best things we can do is share.
So I'm glad your week went well.
Our week out here went really well. A lot of pretty good things happened.
Alright, so this week.
First we continued to work with Yessid. We didn't get a lot of progress, he has read a lot and prayed a lot, but he still doesn't feel like he's gotten an answer. So it's a bit complicated. But he did go to church for the full three hours. We were happy about that. But we still can't commit him to baptism. But we will keep going.
Alright so now on to the really cool stuff that happened.
The best thing is that we found a lady named Antonia, we found her trying to avoid a HUGE rain storm. We saw the deadly clouds and knew we would be 100 percent soaked if we didn't get into a house. SO we did warped knocking which is we ran house to house trying to find one. Cause we only had a few minutes. And it started to pour right as we knocked her door and luckily she let us in. Whew. So then we taught her L1, which went really well, she accepted everything, even a baptismal day. She even asked us where the church was! And we fixed a cita to pass by in 2 days. Which we did, and she was waiting for us! Which is odd. So we taught lesson two and talked about how she felt. And she told us she read and prayed and felt really good while reading and praying. Alright so we were happy. Then we passed by again on Saturday.
So Saturday we passed by. And she told us her story, right. So apparently her husband and son died in a car crash. So she was struggling. Then one day she asked God to send her some people that could help her. And the NEXT day we knock her door. She saw it as an answer to her prayers.So she went to church on Sunday. She liked it a lot. We were pretty excited that we could actually be a small part in this whole thing.
I hope that all made sense, cause I'm not re-reading it.
So that was the coolest thing that happened this week.
Then I don't know if you remember Enrique, we kinda dropped him for a bit, but we talked to him Saturday night. And he went to church, (which was a huuuuuge surprise). Well he kinda forgets things. And couldn't remember what the sacrament was. So when they passed the bread he said very loudly for a silent room, hey whats this? Then with the water, Oohhh Gracias esta Frescito. or wow thanks its nice and cold.... ha ha. I almost laughed. Well I thought it was funny. Maybe its just cause he is like 65 and kinda a funny guy.So we had 3 people in church. We were happy.
Anyway we actually had a lot of other things happen. That was pretty good. But you got the best of it all. We did see hail the size of golf balls that was cool. Some where even the size of a tennis ball. Crazy huh. Yea we hid under someones patio, ha ha.Anyway hope you guys all have a good week this week. It's already transfers week. I doubt I'll leave, but maybe Elder Stutz. Apparently we are getting 40 new missionaries this transfer! Which is a ton. We will have 200 missionaries here now.
Enjoy.
love ya
Elder Obray
