Hola de nuevo. Que cuenten de nuevo? Acá, bueno, no hay tantas cosas nuevas! jaja
Ok, ok. So another week and well you could say this wasnt too ideal, but then again, who can complain when they have a baptism? Not I!!! That would be pretty ungrateful!!! jaja It may not have been a prime week for teaching... or finding new investigators... but Ricardo´s baptism made everything awesome!!
However, a few funny things. First of all, while doing a contact this week a little old lady was walking with her grand son and we asked if we could come and visit them and she wasnt sure what to say and her granson started jumping up and down saying "Sí! Sí! Sí!" jajaja It was rather funny because she just sat there a minute while he begged to let us come by sometime!!! jaja
We also shared with someone this week who knows the bible VERY well. We talked about it for a few minutes, then he started telling us that we were sent to talk with him so that HE could teach us. I dont have problems learning new things, but I prefer doctrine. He showed us lots of good scriptures, but we didnt have anything to argue what he said. He doesnt believe in religion, and thats alright, but we know that Christ commanded his believers to follow him, to meet often to participate in the sacrement and remember the teachings he has left. He had only shared true things, but then he informed us something I just couldnt accept.
He´s a prophet.
Thats what he told us, he quickly cleared up and said that we were thinking of something different than him. Not a prophet like Moses, different prophet. So we, in the most lovingly way, explained that there is not different types of prophets. We knew it was time to leave. He didnt want to answer our questions, he didnt want to follow the doctrine. But he did ask for a service, so we hopefully will go help him this week. jaja
Then saturday, the baptism went great! It was a smaller baptism, but a lot more personal. and it was great! I felt way happy to think our first investigator from herein La Serena got baptized!!!! Woo hoo!!! He is awesome and is going to help lots of people!!!
SO thats the week in a nutshell. I hope that everyone is reading their book of mormon everyday. If you arent, do it!!! I promise you feel God more in your life!!!
Les quiero!!
