Week 48

Hey yall. Hows it going? This week was stellar. We had so much good happen. but i dont have time to tell you about it all lol.


So we have an investigador. Wendy is her name. Youve heard about her before. Good lady. Really has the desire to follow God. She has been going through some trials right now, she has some little ones and they all got sick. but like it was something serious. But God has been looking out or her, and shes been doing her best to find time for us and to go to church. Yesterday we were having a lesson and she said something about baptism. (my comp didnt catch it, he was kinda just teaching the lesson.) But at the end of the lesson she just said. so what day can i be baptised? we were taken back. we told her that she should be married, and she didnt realize that she has to be married to be baptised. And then we talked about that families can be together forever. But now, shes determined to get married and then baptised. and then become an eternal familia.


We found a couple.(vilma and her husband) who are leaders in their church. But, have always chatted with mormons. and they wanna kow more. But if they visit another chruch. theyre pastor will get mad. so theyre scared. but my comp shared with them the story of Nicodemo and who he was a high up with the Jews and how he had changed to follow Jesus. So we did the same invatacion, that they could follow Jesus. they said, we will visit your church soon. but its kinda hard cause they bring the offerings of a weekly group to their pastor. But, theyll see. theyll progress.


We also found a little lady named Victoria. and she is like 100 years old (like 87) and she can read and see and everything (theres 30 year olds who cant read here) and was super posivite and was open to the idea of being baptised again. Because she realizes that her baptism may not have been 100% correct.


We also had a lesson with Marlon. Great dude we found last week, and we always ask if hes got questiones. and usuallly he doesnt but this week he did. He asked what kinda things he would need to do to be a missionary like us. He said that he has some friedns who were missionaries and he wants to go preach the goespel. But, he doesnt even know the gospel really. When we found him it had been a while without going to a church and now he wants to go represent one. Its awesome how the Lord can touch peoples heart and make them change.


this week i dumped a guy outta his wheel chair. and broke a pan. different days though haha. it sucked. but guy cant feel his legs so hes fine, lol


Also there was a little fight by this place where the gang hangs out. we would have passed by if we hadnt stopped to say hey to Selso and Maria(our favourite platano salespeople) and if this drunk guy didnt show us this boa and then killed it. but after the shots. we ran home haha the Lord protects us.


Love yall
sorry for writing in bold. i dont know how to turn it off
