Hi Everyone!
Well transfers were this past week
and both me and my companion are staying here, which is good because we have
two baptisms coming up this Saturday! One is a ten year old boy who his whole
family is active now, but when he was 8 his family wasn´t active so he was
never baptized. I gave him one of those CTR rings you sent me and every time I
see him he sticks out his fist and says haz lo justo(Do the right)! He really
liked that gift so… way to go mommy!
The other one is a lady named Alba. She is
really timid and at first it was hard to teach her but the lesson after we
taught her about the book of Mormon (and to pray to see if it’s true) she said
she felt really happy and peaceful when she read the book! So I quickly broke
out the scripture in Gal. 5:22 about the fruits of the spirit and ever since
then she has been super interested and she has progressed really well! Both of
them are very ready for their baptisms!! This week we had the baptismal
interviews with Alba, and during the interview it was just me sitting with a
member away from the interview. I thought it was going to be awkward just
sitting there but he started talking to me and before I knew it 30 minutes had
gone by and the interview was over! I had a one on one conversation with no help
for almost 30 minutes !!! It was a great
realization afterwards!
We also have an activity coming up
this Thursday where we will show a part of the Christmas devotional and have food.
On Sunday we gave book of Mormons to members and made them promise to highlight
a few of their favorite scriptures and bring them on Thursday, along with a
friend and so if all goes right it will be a really good finding activity for
us!
Also this week this crazy guy runs up to me
and he thought because I was white and dressed up that I was Jesus. I tried to
explain that I´m just a missionary, but when I showed him my missionary badge,
the second biggest name on there is Jesus Christ, so that didn´t help. I wasn´t
getting anywhere with him so I just told him I have people to teach and lives
to bless and he grabbed my hand, bowed down and started kissing it over and
over again. I don´t know why Jesus is ok with that because I thought it was
really weird! I kinda walked off and he kept shouting different prayers and
stuff. It was very entertaining. Anyways I´ll be sure to fill you in on how the
Baptisms go this week! Hopefully we can get more water in the font!
Love,
Elder Harsh
