First off about a SUPER awesome referral given to us by one of our stud new converts, Domingo. His name is Rubio. Domingo first brought him to church and we met him there, but we ran into some difficulties getting ahold of him after that. So two weeks later Domingo brought him to church again, and he still seemed super awesome, and super interested in learning about the gospel, but as soon as we tried to call him, we ran into the same difficulties. So, we decided that we would pass by his house before going to see Domingo, but yet again, he wasn't there. To make an unnecessarily long story short, Domingo told us that he saw Rubio's car outside of his house, and so after our lesson with Domingo we checked Rubios again and he was there! We had a super short lesson with him because we had a train to catch, but he accepted baptism almost before we could even invite him to baptism! He said that he wants to change his life and leave his life of sin behind!!! He also asked if his son (11yrs old) was old enough to be baptized! --For those of you not familiar with missionary work, this is classified as GOLDEN. And it is very desirable in our field of work. The second lesson with him was almost just as good. We taught the restoration, only to find out that he had already gained a testimony of the Book of Mormon, because when he was reading it the other day, the Spirit testified to him the truth of it. And he recognized it to be of God. AWESOME!!!!! So, yeah, he's a super star. But he's not married to the woman he's lived with for the last 12yrs, so we've got that little speed bump first =) Whoot!
Second awesomeness of the week: super awesomeness, in fact. Owed 100% to planning. We were out working in a new area we had planned, and although the less active member we had planned to pass by wasn't there, it was alright. It was just all part of God's plan to put us in the right part of the area. So then we go to a building that we're feeling pretty good about, but once we got in, there was a VERY upset man who threatened us with calling the cops and even threatened to come down himself and make us leave. So we learned that that wasn't the building God had planned for us. It was actually the one next door. Almost right away a South American man opens the door, smiles, and asks us if we want to come in! We quickly obliged and then went on to teach his family of 5. They're super awesome, and we're going to be seeing them again on saturday!! But the coolest part was when we looked back on who we had planned on finding. --side note: we've been encouraged to try and visualize the people that we're going to find that day, I mean literally visualize, as in hair color, gender,anything that comes to mind. -- So we planned on finding a pretty specific family, we decided that the husband would either be bald or have a buzzed head, and that the wife would have dark, pinned up hair, and that they would have a baby. And that's what we found! Plus they have other kids, but that part we didn't specify, so it still counts as 100% awesomeness. And now we're going to teach them the gospel =)
Weeellll, that's all for now folks. Tune in next time!
vi voglio un sacco di bene!
