Anyway as for me this week was full of amazing spirtual experiences and I´m pretty sure I wont be able to tell you all of them. Let it be known that God does guide us to the places and people where we need to be even when we dont have any idea what He has in mind.
So last night we went out to work (we didnt work all morning and most of the afternoon because there was elections again and so therefore its illegal to go out and proselyte) and we were finding lots of people that just wanted to talk with us but they refused to recognize the spirt that they were feeling. So we felt like we were wasting time for about and hour and a half. Finally after all that we were feeling discouraged but we felt the need to be diligent and to knock on one last door. I had an impression that this was the house that the Lord had prepared people to listen to us. So we knocked and this 20 year old girl comes out and my comp E. Webb says "We are representatives of Jesus Christ and we are here to baptize you like Jesus was". Her answer was "Really? I know I need that in my life". She invited us in and we taught her and her Dad about baptism and they both commited for the 25th of June. Wow so cool.
Saturday morning we had an apt every half hour from 10 until 12:30 and every single one of them fell through. And we just had one person left to see if she was there but it was only 10:30 and we had told her at 12:00. But we decided to go there anyways. Knocked on the door and she was waiting for us and when we asked if we could go in and teach her and her husband we were able to do so. We were able to commit them to be baptized but we have to get them married first. They were awesome.
We also went and taught Richard and Anna on Friday night. They have been progressing extremely fast and came to church last week. They are living together and so we taught them about the atonement and the law of chastity. They understood it extremely well and they had told us a few nights ago that they wanted to get baptized. So the spirit was there so strong and we just asked Richard "So when do you really feel like you should get baptized". "Well for me I want to do it tomorrow. what is it that I have to do to get baptized?"..."Um...you either gotta not live together and live in separate houses or get married." and so he turns to his "wife" and says " you know what you are gonna go live with your parents until we can get married." Wow. that was so aweosme. Now they are still talking about what they are gonna do and the elections kinda screwed up everything but i´ll get you more info as we keep teaching them this week. PRAY FOR THEM!!!!
Love you and I coulda written a whole lot more but there is no time.
