Dear Family,
Wow what an awesome week! I
cannot explain the many great and spiritual experiences that i have had
this past week. Me and my Companion Elder Webb are killin it! We are
working so good together and i feel the spirit all day. Its so good to
have a companion that shares your same desire to work hard and to do
whats right all the time. And wow wasn't general conference just awesome?
Yes we were able to watch it and in English!! so good to hear English
but I'm a Little worried about profeta monson. He did not look good but I
loved the first words that came out of his mouth in the priesthood
sesión, "my words are simple, keep the commandments" Man I love
conference! its the greatest.
Couple quick stories
We
contacted a house but not at the door because there was a fence in
front so we yelled for someone to come out and a really fat man came out
without is shirt on. We asked if we could come in to share a message
about Jesús Christ and he said, "No! we believe in the same Jesus!" "OK
brother well were gonna share with how you can come unto him" and then
he thought something was a Little suspicious so he asked, "do you got a
knife or something" haha me and my companion looked at each other and
laughed and then said, "brother do we look like would have a knife?"
anyways he didn't trust us so we were about to just leave until we
offered him a card with a picture of the salt lake templo. He came out
and grabbed it from us and looked down at it and at that moment we could
tell that he had been hit by the spirit like a car and says, "oh my that
is beautiful. Where is this?" We explained where it was and how there
was another one in Monterrey. we told him that we want to help him get
prepared to make promises with god there. also that he had the
opportunity to listen to a prophet of god. We promised him that if he
came with a question to the conference, it would be answered and he
agreed to come. at the end we asked him to be baptized and he said yes.
then we asked if he would prepared for the 17th and he said, "well if
what your telling me is true, if i come and find an answer, I ain't gonna
be here." "brother, where you gonna be?" "Ill be in the united states"
haha is question was how he was gonna get back over there! He was really
a funny guy, he told us he'd been married four times and as we were
walking away he told us, "don't get married your gonna get bored!!" haha
We
found a really awesome funny lady that accepted to be baptized this
week and yesterday when we called to remind her to come to conference
she says, "you better not make me pray or talk or whatever, if i get
scared I ain't ever coming back! and don't try baptizing me while I'm
there" haha she was worried she was gonna have to get up and talk or
say a prayer. but she came and brought her daughter! We also had the
family mancillas come!
I really liked the talk
about the boy who was out digging holes with his friends and built a
swimming pool and got all muddy and he wanted to come in the house
because he was all cold and wet and his grandma came out and said, "i
have just cleaned the house and you are not coming in all muddy and wet"
he had to get hosed down to finally be able to come in. the same is for
us to be able to enter into the kingdom of our father in heaven. we are
going to have to be hosed down of all sin. because no unclean thing can
enter in just like no muddy wet boy can enter the just-cleaned house.
I love and miss you all! have a good week!
