 Well this week was a good week we had a lot of lessons we had 33. That is a good number for this area. We also had a good week for teaching, and are teaching a lot of way cool people. We are teaching this one Haitian lady who has been coming to church for a long time and all she ever does is question what we say. She is nice about it but always questions us. It is funny. We actually stopped going by because they didnt seem interested and one week she miraculously showed up to church.  She has been going for about 2 months now. She has a lot of faith in Jesus Christ and knows that she needs to go to a church, so because we invited her, she came. Over the last 2 months we have just been trying to explain the need for the authority to baptize, we explained it a million times and left her to read and pray about the book of mormon, and now she is completely fine with having to be baptized again cause she understands the connection between the BoM and the authority. Now we just have to try and get her married but she doesnt want to get married with her current husband and they would have to go back to Haiti to do it. So we will continue to work with her and try to help her understand the importance of the Baptism. It was a great experience to see how the BoM changes the hearts of the people and lets them know the truth.

 

Leo is doing good. He went to church again and he played basketball with us this morning. He used to play in the professional baseball league here untill he got injured. He is a way cool guy. He is talking to his wife about the church and she isnt quite sure. We are going to fast with him this sunday for her to have an open heart. The Lord really does prepare people to receive this message so always be looking for people that you know that can receive this message and change their lives. When we teach the message the people can put it all together in their minds and it all makes sense. We truly did live before this earth and learn the things necessary to salvation.

 

Well i hope everyone is doing good. Always remember the reality of God and his son Jesus, they are real and love us so much. They are literally waiting for us with open arms after this life. Do all that we can to accept the open arms and be prepared at all moments to meet God. Today is the day for men to prepare to meet God. work hard in the obra of the Lord. I love you all so much.

 

con amor,
