welp thanks to all who gave me advice and words of strength!10/4/10

ive been able to enjoy this last week a little more and get the Lord´s work accomplished. my companion is learning a lot, up to him to apply and accept that its for his benefit, but i know our companionship studies help him a lot. very overpowering and likes to do things his way but im not giving him much space to do that. last sunday, a week from yesterday, we were ending the night, and walking down a dirt road a young man was walking in our direction but the other side of the road, and with a fast pace looked like in a hurry. i felt the Spirit tell me we should talk to him, and as he got closer i felt the impression stronger, so as he almost passed us, i awkardly jutted across to get in front of him, and as the Lord had planned, i contacted him, and he was very happy to give us his address of his family, and also the house where he was at a lot of the time...and without asking, gave us his cell phone number and said call whenever to come visit me. Cosme, 19 years old, after daily visits with him, now calls us every night after our visits, to tell us he said his prayers, and to remind us to come the next day. we sadly found out he is living together with a young girl, but we taught him the Law of Chastity, and he not only accepted to get married, but said he was going to go today and get the papers in order. he also last week, had a physical check by the doctor for a job in the mine he is trying to get, and although he had to do the breathing test 3 times, due to a little bit of lung difficulties, he passed, and said that he has a debt to the Lord, and wants to do everything we tell him so that he can show his appreciation and love to the Lord. awesome, amazing young man who was definitely prepared and another way to see how a simple feeling that the Holy Ghost gives us, can cause great impacts in moving forward the Lord´s Kingdom on Earth. no baptisms last week nor this week to come because we are going to trujillo to watch conference :( keep up the prayers for me, my companion, and Cosme! love and miss you all. have 30 more minutes in internet, and ill be writing president turk, and sending photos. chao!
