Week 64 (August 07, 2017)

This week we found 20 new investigators, and invited all of them to be baptized and all of them said yes. Hopefully they keep it up and progress and overcome their difficulties with our help and can be baptized. I just wish to quickly talk about one of the people that we found. 

So we were out doing cosechas, (knocking doors as guided by the spirit and offer a blessing of peace) when we were led to the house of an inactive sister. It just so happened that her mom was in the house at the time and we offered the blessing and put an appointment to talk to her later. So when we got to her house we met her husband. We taught them the restoration of the gospel and asked them to read the Book of Mormon. He immediately accepted and said he would read as much as he could, he then explained to us why the Mormon church is the true church, he basically re-taught us the lesson we taught him but talked about the parts that other churches were missing. (prophets, apostles, priesthood, revelation) It was great. He was convinced by pure logic, and I am very excited to see what happens when he receives an answer to his prayer and feels the spirit testify to him that it is true! He is so great!! He understood so well that my companion and I are actually concerned if he is already a member. This man is going to be baptized!! After he quits drinking coffee and tea and smoking and drinking. But he will do it I have no doubt!! 

So after a very awesome lesson we went to another house and taught the first principles of the gospel. When we invited her to be baptized she said yes, but then she asked if she could celebrate her birthday after her baptism. We were very confused. She asked us "you are Jehovah Witnesses right?" She accepted all of our message without even knowing what church, then we explained that we are the Mormon

church and she was so much more receptive! It was a weird lesson but it ended well and we have an appointment to go back.

So the picture that I have is from my comp. we have to walk through this jungle to get out to part of our area, its just a little shortcut but it cuts off like 45 minutes of walking and we have tons of investigators in that area so we take this shortcut a lot. So last night my comp took a picture while we were out there. 

Love you all!!
