Dear Family,
I cant believe it has been another week
and I am here at the computer again writing for the past week. It was a pretty
good week here. We went out working last Monday at 6pm when P-Day was over, and
we were contacting. The first door that we knocked someone came out, her name is
Veronica. She said that Missionaries had passed by a couple weeks back or so
and never came again. She told them that weekends are the best to find them at
home, but they never passed by, so we set up a appointment to pass by Saturday,
but before we left we were able to teach a quick lesson on the Restoration and
have a prayer with her. It was really awesome.
Then we continued
contacting in the same street and a half a block or so away we contacted
another house, so it was the second house we contacted for the day. Out came a
women named Natalia and she said right of the bat, "want to come
in??" We were like YEAH!!! haha it was pretty awesome, and her husband was
home to, but we just talked to her. We started talking to her and she says she
always talks to the religions that pass by, so she let us talk with her. We got
to know her a little, she has a son Mateo(Matthew) whose 6 years old, and
Sebastian whose 4 years old. Mateo has Epilepsy and doesn't have movement of his
arms or legs. He basically can only move his head a little bit, his eyes, and
his mouth. More then that not really. He cant talk, see, or hear. She said its
because of something she did during her pregnancy, that guilt really weighs her
down. We don't know why she says that but she says it was her fault that he is
like this. We also found out that she lost both of her parents and she is
having struggles in her relationship with her Husband. We talked about the Plan
of Salvation and gave her the Book of Mormon and marked 3 Nephi 11 to read.
We passed by two days later and she hadn't read or anything really so she committed to read. We passed by
Saturday Night and she had kinda read the pamphlet of The Plan of Salvation,
but she had look in the Book of Mormon in the bible dictionary or topical guide
in the Book of Mormon to find scriptures about The Plan of Salvation and she
was reading in Alma 39-42 and marked it up with a color pencil and was sharing
what she liked. We then asked if she prayed about the Book of Mormon and she
said that Yes, and as she was reading, thinking, and praying that she knew the
words are the truth and the Book of Mormon is she. She also had asked for
Forgiveness for her Sins and Wrongs in the life and she felt like she got the
answer that its the truth and she was forgiven. She had a bright LIGHT in her
Eyes and she was smiling like crazy. She said that she would be coming to the Church, but.... she didn't make it.. we aren't sure why though.. but we will pass
by to find that out. It was amazing to see that Light, which is the Light of
Christ enter her eyes. it was Amazing!!!
THE WORLD CUP!!! Wow yesterday was Fathers Day,
