23 April 2012


Well I would tell you all about my new area and new companion and everything but I stayed here in David and I stayed with Oliva for another change too haha. We were both super surprised that I didn´t have changes but it´s cool that we´re staying together again. We have a lot of plans for this change which we´re praying will help our success.

This week we went back and taught one of our investigators named Danny and his wife Diana. Diana is already a member but has been less active for the past couple of years but she told us that she wanted us to start teaching her husband. he´s a way cool guy and has actually gone to church quite a few times with Diana when she was still going. We talked a lot about the family and how the gospel blesses families and he said he wanted to be baptized! it was so cool! The only problem is that they have to get married first which could take a while to do but it´s alright ha as long as he gets baptized. When we told him that he had to get married before he could be baptized he was a little nervous, Diana has been wanting to get married for years but he´s always been nervous to do so but after talking for a bit he said he wanted to get married so this week we´re gonna help them start the whole process.

Yesterday we went and visited an older couple whom we contacted a couple of weeks ago. Right of the bat they told us that they were members of the catholic church and we found out that they´re actually really strong members of that church. But the past couple of times we´ve gone back we´ve noticed a change in both of them. They are actually really interested in learning more about the church and even asked us for a Book of Mormon before we could offer one to them haha. Then yesterday while we were there the wife started asking more about things like if there was a dress code at church and made sure she knew where it is and what time it starts and said that she wants to come and learn more! It was so cool to hear that because our first visit with them they said they always go to the catholic church on Sundays and none other but now they want to come. I know that the Lord is softening the hearts of the people here an preparing them to hear the message of the Restoration of the Gospel.

The mission is awesome! thank you all for everything
