so its been an amazing week. ive been in a trio if you didnt know. me, elder malara, and the most recent assistent to president elder lemmon who is from texas. ive honestly have had more fun, laughed more, and felt the Spirit more in this past week than any other time in my life. in such little time ive made eternal best friends and its been a great experience. we have met and taught SO many adult men that can be future priesthood holders, re activated the ex branch president and his whole family, and 3 other priesthood holders who were inactive. the miracles that the Lord is working through us makes us so happy and feel so good about our efforts. the assistance is an average of 55-65 and sunday there were 81 present!!!!!! im so pumped. so many awesome little stories.
#1 Francisco: Little old man whos losing his sight and hears very little. elder lemmon and i were alone and our comp was doing splits, and elder lemmon felt we should contact him. we did and long story short, hes never talked to missionaries, but one day he was walking by a house and the way it sounded was a member family was having family home evening and invited him in and gave him a Book of Mormon. we started talking about it and he busts it out and told us he was in 2 Nefi 3 and explained to us the WHOLE story of Lehi and his journey, Nefi getting the plates, all in detail!!!
#2 Humberto: So we were looking for an address of a young man we had contacted last sunday and set a time to visit him saturday(2 days ago). the address he gave us was wrong and was the address of humberto. to explain humberto, he lives with his 2 brothers (all single in their 40´s and 50´s) alberto, and santos...their sister died last year and just after their mom. at first he didnt want to let us in and said he was catholic but we heeded to the example of Christ and were diligent, just askeing to be able to say a prayer and sing a hymn. we entered in, his brother alberto came in. we taught them the first parts of the plan of salvation and about the Book of Mormon. at the end of the lesson, he told us his doubts about us were all gone, and he was so glad to have us there and that he felt like he has 3 more friends that care and worry about him. in his prayer he thanked Heavenly Father for sending us to bring him his salvation and said he felt like the Lord was there.
we went back the next morning(yesterday) just to say a prayer and sing a hymn with him, he had stuff planned and couldnt come to church but it was fine and asked us to come back at 4 in the afternoon. once again elder lemmon and i were on splits so we went yesterdeay at 4 and finished teaching lesson 2 and to start he explained it ALL cuz he read his pamphlet. then we challenged him to be baptized once he knows the church is true and he told us once he knows the church is true he wont every part from it. so much more to say about him but yeah gotta go! love and miss you all
