Hello family,
I don't keep track of how many Book of Mormons that we give out to be honest haha... But we do keep track of pretty much everything else. For example, on Friday we talked to 15 people about the gospel during the day, visited 1 less active member, taught 3 other lessons (1 with a member of the ward with us), and got 4 new investigators. We met and taught Guadalupe, a woman who lives in our same apartment complex that was actually a referral from the English speaking Elders. We taught her the first lesson and invited her to be baptized. She is from El Salvador and seems really awesome, she loves her kids. Yesterday we were knocking on doors and came across a home where we met Gloria and Alejandra. They let us in and we taught them the first lesson. Since I have memorized the first vision in Spanish I get to say it a lot. It is really cool to look the investigators in the eyes as I tell them in their own language what Joseph saw. You can really tell whether they are ready to accept the gospel or not by their eyes during this. When it was time to close with a prayer we asked Gloria to say the prayer and taught her how to pray. She started to pray and prayed for her children. She started to cry as she prayed that she could let go of the negative feelings she has for their father. She ended the prayer and the Spirit was so strong. I felt such a great love for her and her children. We are going back to teach them again on Wednesday. Oh another miracle happened yesterday, we went to an investigators home to teach them but they weren't there, instead her friend and his two sons were there... So we taught them! Haha, the Lord is so incredibly intelligent. His plan is so beautiful. We got to know Juaqin and his two sons, Juaqin Jr. and Jesus, and the Spirit was again so strong. I felt a calm peace that I hadn't really felt before when teaching. It was cool to be able to talk to him because he had questions before we even taught that all could be answered with the message that we had to share. It's so cool to meet people who the Lord has prepared and placed in our way for us to help. So many miracles happen everyday, I wish I could tell you all of them. I hope you can feel and recognize the blessings from this perfect Gospel.
I love you all. The Church is true. It's that simple. My heart is full and I joy in this work. Go to the temple. Make time for the Lord. He is waiting to bless you. Have faith.
