Another week has past by and it was a really good one. On Friday we had a lot of time to go street contacting and door knocking, we didn't have much success but we did run into a lady who was pretty interested but we haven't been able to contact her yet. After we talked to this lady we went down to the bus stop to catch the bus because we were gonna go back home but we wanted to take a picture before we leave and we saw this one guy standing there and we asked him if he could take it. After I asked if he would like a card with a picture of Jesus Christ and he said yes and we started to talk to him about church and that kind of stuff. He has never heard of Mormons before except from South Park and we explained to him what our church does and believes and he was really interested. He has been trying to change his life around and he has been praying for help, but he said it was really hard for him to do it by himself. We talked to him about the plan of salvation and also gave him the Book of Mormon and he was super excited. We talked with him for about 25 mins and then he left. He was really happy that we ran into him and decided to talk to him and he kept saying how he was so happy that he could not stop smiling. It was really cool to see how the lord prepares people to hear the gospel and this was one of these times.
On Saturday was Halloween and we pretty much didn't get anything done because we didn't have any appointments and nobody answered any doors because they were gone or they just didn't want to listen. We also had a curfew at 6:30 as well so that limited our time to do the work, but we saw a lot of cool costumes.
Sunday was great we had 2 investigators come to church Morena and her son Nathaniel. Morena wanted to leave after Sunday school but Nathaniel wanted to stay and so he convinced her to stay the last hour and also we made a deal that if they came to church this week that me and elder Richards would have to go to their 7th day Adventist church this Saturday. I'm pretty excited to go and see how other churches are like.
Also on Sunday we had a really cool lesson with this one lady he name is Delight and she is what you call a golden investigator. I really like her because she is really nice and even thought we only had one lesson with her she has read so much in the Book of Mormon. I don't really know how to describe her except that she has been the best investigator that I had so far, but the bad part is that she only speaks English and so we would have to give her up to the English sister but that's still ok because thats another soul coming into Christ.
On Tuesday we had a Lesson with the Aguilar family and the thing they need to do is to go to the temple and be sealed as a family because the Mother has a disease called muscular dystrophy and she is slowly dying and they need to go to the temple soon but she has been really scared because she can't see or walk very well so we brought the ward family history person and she gave a really good lesson, she went to town about temples and family history and how important the temples are in our lives, because we have temples we can be together for ever with our families.
Today me and elder Richards and elder price and elder salceda went to the city to just go and explore and also me and elder Richards did some initiatory, it was very nice. It really cool to walk down the noisy streets and then enter the temple and as soon as the doors close its nice and peaceful and quiet.
That's it for this week.
