So let´s start with the first highlight. We have been teaching a man named S who has been progressing very well, and we were able to invite him to be baptized and he accepted. We marked his baptism for this coming Saturday this week. He has a lot of faith and wants to change his life for the better, so he was all for baptism. So we are super excited and it gives us a special energy to work super hard this week.
The next highlight is like the first. We were able to find another man named R, who has been progressing with us for some time. His story is very interesting. He told us that three years ago, he randomly passed the movie Joseph Smith, The Prophet of the Restoration. He said that he loved the movie but didn´t know anything about where it came from or what church it was, but he told us in time that God would show him the answer. So two weeks back, he happened to be in a store that we happened to enter, and he saw that we were interesting people, is what he said. We told him who we were and that we were from the Church and he wanted us to come and teach him. He loves the messages we have been giving him and he wants to be baptized. So we marked his baptism as well for this Saturday. It´s amazing at times to see these miracles. It shows us that the Lord always shows his work in our everyday lives.
Another cool thing that happened this week is that I was able to do some interviews in the Zone for baptisms. All of those experiences are always spiritually uplifting for me. I always feel something in me that is different everytime I enter into one of those interviews, like something just takes control of me and guides the interview. I don´t even really remember what goes on in the interviews. I only remember the results. Isn´t that cool. How we can be literal instruments to the Lord. Because everytime I ask an investigator how they felt, they said that when I started talking they felt a Spirit of Peace that they hadn´t felt before.
So something that happened this week, that kind of stunk was that we all got food poisoning this week. Everyone in the house. We went to a restaurant for lunch that wasn´t as good as we thought it was. We got super sick this week and it was really hard to work, but we did it anyways and we were blessed! The Lord visits us in our afflictons.
But that´s all for the week. I feel like I have said this everyday for the past mission. Love you all! I hope everyone is doing great! Have a great week and see you all in a month!
