Hey Everyone,
What a crazy week! So Elder Marin got our new
companion from the MTC on Wednesday, Elder Anglade. He's from South Jordan Utah
and he is waiting to get his visa to go to Argentina Buenos Aires North
Mission. He’s a big guy with a big heart. This week has been great as we had
some fantastic lessons with Joe, Maria's son who we've been teaching the last
couple weeks. We went to his birthday a couple weeks ago. I wasn't there as I
was doing a baptismal interview for one of the companionships in my district, Antonio,
which was amazing. A month ago I did the interview with his nephew Junior and
now he got the missionaries to teach his family. It’s great to see things like
that happen. Anyway, Joe from what I hear was very receptive to everything and
accepted a baptismal date for next month. The next day we taught Maria and
Noami again about the gospel of Jesus Christ. We used an object lesson that
uses water, pepper and soap that really helped them understand how the Gift of
the Holy Ghost works. It finally helped Noami understand why she needs to be
baptized again. We are finally making progress with her. AND I can finally say
I have found a GOLDEN INVESTIGATOR. Last Sunday, Hna Flores a member in our
area brought her nephew Victor to church. We had gospel principles class and he
just loved it! On Friday we had Dinner at Hna Flores house and Victor heard we
were coming over, so he came over from next door to talk to us. He explained to
us how much he loved church and how there is a lot of love there. He said that
his best friend is a member of the church and how he has taught him a lot and
invited him to church, but has never had time to come. Now he's on break from
work in NYC and has time to investigate. He mentioned that how his friend
invited him got his attention. "Hey come to my church and if you don't
like it you don't have to come again." He told us that is "a
celestial invitation." After dinner we invited him to have a lesson. We
sat down he asked of if we had a Book of Mormon? YES WE DO. Even before we started teaching he told us
that "ok I'm going to read as much as I can and I will let you know when I
want to be baptized." WHAT! Amazing. We set a date for May 19th with him.
Tender Mercies! So great!
Os amo tanto
Elder Marrott
