Hey guys, whats good..... here are some pictures and stories from this week
Had 2 baptismal services this week..... baptisms in every companionship....
In the picture above is our investigator rufino.... to my left.... And on my right is Eladio and Elder Paul.... pretty cool experience.... Eladio was shot 5 times and as a result has leg and back problems..... but we help him up the
stairs to church every week.
Had 3 guys help him get baptized.....
Rufino is a guy we have been teaching for a while.... after a little while he stopped progressing and we let him be for a while, but when we came back he realized he needed to take things more seriously and finally got baptized.
Another story
We have one investigator named Luis..... we contacted him in the street as he rode by us on his bike (talk literally to everyone).... He was very drunk..... several scars on his face.... says he doesnt trust gringos..... honestly looked dangerous..... we set a date with him and walked away slightly confused, trying to determine his potential.....
To this day I now see him in a completely different light. I can promise 100 percent that he is going to be a huge leader in Sonaguera. He has had the Book of Mormon for a week and a half now, and has almost finished it, telling us that it is what keeps him from drinking.
He has a baptismal date coming up for saturday....
As a reference from another member we went and visited his mom.... which blew us away even more.
She so happily accepted us and let us in.... basically crying she began to explain to us more about Luis and his life story. More about serveral accidents he had and how he almost died.....
She told us how she has seen a complete change in him and then began to tell us how she already can tell our church is different..... She hasnt ever gone to our church, or even seen us before but then went on to tell us that she is ready to get baptized in our church. That her, and her husband will do all they can to be with Luis in the church and to always support him.
Amazing how the Lord has given us so much. We are now planning to have Luis baptize his own mother on the 10th of December. Should be an amazing experience to see.
