How the week has gone by sooo fast! One of the most special weeks that I´ll always remember.
We were walking through a park making a few contacts when we were almost ready to move along, an older man gave me a look like he wanted to talk to us. We went right over there and talked with him a little. He told us that he smokes, but really wants to stop and knows that Jesus is good. So we shared a small message about how Jesus loves him and also wants him to stop. After talking with him a little more, we marked a return to date to pass by in his house. It went very well and when we gave him his very own Book of Mormon (afer explaining about it of course) he was in shock. You could tell that he knew it was something special. Sunday morning we went to his house (about 15-20 minutes away from the church) to bring him along with us to church. He had a big smile on his face whenever he got to tell people his name and introduce himself. He told us after that his mom didn´t want us to come to the house anymore to teach him, but asked if we could teach him at the church. We assured him yes, but are thinking that it would be good to bring along with us a cheerful spirit :) from the ward and try one more time to greet his mom. She is kind of a hard core catholic...
Running out of time.....
We had some new people who came to church yesterday without an invite because they always wanted to see what it was like. They loved it! We are going there this saturday. Also, another newer investigator that has come the past two weeks came again yesterday. She has a friend in the ward. She is also about 40 with her friend about 65-70. Anywho, her appointments always fell. BUT!!! Yesterday the lesson was on the temple.... Amazing. Her husband passed away a few years ago and she realized that she came be with him again and sealed for eternity with him through the temple. She really wants to do this work and also for her family. She said after that if she could, she would be baptized tomorrow. Yes, I know that there are a few holes in this incredible story, but it was very special to see the Spirit in her yesterday.
I LOVE YOU FAMILY!!!! Thank you for your endless prayers and sacrifices. May the Lord continue to bless you all. Have a great week!
Com amor, seu amoroso filho e irmão
