Another week in Colombia
Happy
late 4th of July. Hope that it was really cool. Sorry about the heat
there sounds like Cartegena.
This week was wild. We have some new investigators that were referrals from the Bishop and they are a couple and they drink A LOT. The first time we went to their was almost 3 weeks ago. When we got there they were really drunk and telling us that they wanted to change their lives. So we started talking to them about the Plan of Salvation and the word of wisdom. We left them a pamphlet and came back another day to teach more. The next time we passed by their house they had completely stopped drinking. They said that they felt something when we taught them and it was enough reason for them to stop drinking. This last week they attended church for the first time and they loved it. We taught them about the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph smith this last week and they were quiet until the end of the lesson and they both said, "It all makes sense now." This week has been an amazing experience to watch people make the changes necessary to accept Christ into their lives.
On the other hand we have an investigator named Juan Carlos. I don´t know why, but they are always named Juan Carlos. He is 18 years old and he is preparing for baptism. He had a dream this last week that his mom died and that he was a fugitive. That next morning his aunt that says she's a "dream interpreter" said that if he is baptized in our church his mom will die. So we had to talk to him a little bit to calm down his fears. It´s amazing to see on one hand the power of God that is allowing these people to make the changes necessary to feel his power and love within their lives. Also to witness the work that Satan is trying to do to prevent people from receiving the ordinances necessary to be saved in the kingdom of God.
Oh and funny thing this week. We were walking down the street and walking past a fire station and there was a guy that walked out just holding a giant sloth in his arms. I thought about questioning him why he was holding a giant sloth, but then I remembered that I am in Colombia and I just kept walking because weird stuff like that always happens here.
But yeah I´m just here fulfilling a prophecy and all that jazz, I hope that you guys are really enjoying yourselves out there in the wild west. Saludos a Taylor y el resto de la familia.
Muchas oraciones a ustedes y los demas. Chao
