Well this was another fantastic week here in Prados. This week I'm goin to tell you an awesome experience that happened.
For about the last two months we have been teaching a feller named Marvin. His girlfriend, who is a member, introduced him to the Church. For this last weeks we have been teachin him the Doctrine of Christ and helpin him have a testimony of The Book of Mormon and Christ's True Church. He lives in our area and came to our ward a few times but didn't feel as comfortable. The ward has about 300 members that come every week and that makes it a big ward. The girlfriend lives in another ward that is smaller and more friendly so he and his girlfriend go to that one. Even though he doesn't come to our building for church we would set it up with him and teach him during the week. That's what we have been doin for the last two months. Last night he sent us a text telling us he has made decision to be baptized! The only bummer is that he is going to be baptized in the ward of his girlfriend and this ward is part of another mission. I called him last night and we talked a little bit. He was very thankful for all the things we had taught him. He also said it was with our help and with the power of God that he came to know of the veracidad of the Church and of the Book of Mormon. Even though he is going to be baptized in the other ward I'm so thankful I could be a part of helping another one of God's sons come unto Him. Just hearin him say that he knows the Church is true and the same about the Book of Mormon was an awesome experience.
The mission is magnificent!
And here is a quick funny story. We were trackin the other day and a drunk guy started to bug us so we stopped knockin doors and headed for another area. Then the drunk dude started to chase us! I looked and my comp then we two put it in high gear and ran. We ran till we lost him then went back to preachin the word of God!!
I love this work and hope all is well back home!!
With much love
