This week i truly came to know how important the Book of Mormon is. We were in a lesson with a lady named Francis, and her son Jorge just got baptized, but his mom is just not ready i think. BUT we were trying to teach her about what side she is on. And then i got this big impression to ask Jorge what made the difference for him to choose to be baptized. He said the Book of Mormon. It hit me so hard, and so i changed the subject and started talking about the Book of Mormon, Bowen was a little confused and then we both realized that she didnt understand the basics of the gospel. The book of mormon is so powerful guys. But it blesses us the most when we read it, and live it.
So we found this girl named Jocelyn, she is super into the Catholic church and explained everything that she is doing in that church. Then we were like hey can we come back and we can share little messages to each other? So we went back and she told us everything that she was doing with, church school, and what not right? So we asked her, " Do you ever feel like something is missing in your life?" And she said" yeah, i do." We then taught her the first lesson and the spirit was so strong. And she already had a book of mormon cause her and one of her friends saw the San Diego temple and wanted to go inside it! So they walked in side haha and then someone gave them a Book of Mormon. It makes us sad cause we are getting transfered but i know God is going to take care of her:)
So we went to go visit cute little Leonarda and when we were leaving, she walks us out(never has before) and pulls out of her shirt haha 4 pairs of her earings. We always compliment her on her earings cause she loves them! She said i dont want you to forget about me. Ayy she is so cute!!
We also found this lady named Alejandra, so we went to go visit her and she lets us in and starts crying. And were just like oh boy what did we do haha she told us that her son had just gotten in a crash and she had been praying for angels. And right after her prayer we knocked on her door. We then taught her about the restoration. I dont think the spirit has been so strong before. It was amazing. We then put her on date for the 7 de september. What an amazing experience, to be led to those who need our Heavenly Father in the exact moment. What an amazing experience to be apart of this:)
So when we got home one night im like running the door to let our homeshares dog out to pee cause hes been in there all day and i turn the key to unlock it and it BROKE IN HALF....... i couldnt help but laugh. I walk to the car and im just like Bowen, call the Elders... So they came and helped us, we didnt ever get the lock out so the westerns had to buy a new one. I felt so bad. But they jsut laughed and were pretty good about it.
This Friday we got to go to a baseball game, the Storm game. I think their AA but our mission prez was there and it was SO fun! It was mormon night so they had us missionaries come out on the field and introduce ourselves and then they asked us to do activites in between innings. It was hilarious. I miss baseball!
EDGAR GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT was the most amazing thing to see that guy change. I was able to work with him about 7 months in corona and then he got permission to be baptized after i left. He completely changed. I am so proud of him!!
What an amazing week. I feel my saviors love every single day. Not only for me but everyone else around me. Choosing to go on a mission was the best decision i have ever made in my entire life.
Love you guys!!:)
