Simon's Day of Baptism

SImon is doing excellent!  He just soaks everything up like a sponge!  He has such a strong desire to learn and act.  It´s really amazing :)  We had a lesson with him and Hermana Villanova, an older member in the ward, about temples.  He´s really interested in the temple and wants to go.  They talked and talked and talked and he was just really happy.  And then this sunday we arrived a little late but when we walked in Simon was about to be confirmed. I just about cried because he looked so happy and content.  And then when he took the sacrament, participated a lot in the Class - I was on cloud 9. In the class he was talking about how now that he´s a member of the church he can see a difference in his life now he has the company of the Holy Ghost and wants to keep the commandments and is going to continue learning and growing as a member.  AWHHHHH! I just about cried right then and there.

Mission Temple Day!

Adrian, He´s super awesome!  He has all the lessons, has a testimony of the Book of Mormon and received his answer that the church is true.  He told us in one of the lessons about an experience that he had.  He was in the Subway and people from some church were passing out flyers.  One of them asked him what church he went to. He said "I'm Mormon" they said "oh" and continued on without giving him a pamphlet.  WHAT?!? He isn't even an official member but he is living the gospel. Also, he´s already read the WHOLE BOOK OF MORMON!  He read it in 3 weeks! He will be baptized this sunday and he is ready.  He is a very nervous person so in one lesson we read Ether 12:27 (And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them). He started talking about how his nerves have helped him to take this decision seriously so that he´s sure that this is the right thing to do.  He said he is 100% sure that he´s doing the right thing and is ready to be baptized.  Talk about Elegido (Chosen)!

We also found Edgar.  My companion had strong desires to eat cheese so we entered a chino and went to grab some cheese real fast.  They didn't have what she wanted but we began to talk to the guy who worked there.  He is 19 years old and reads the bible and is trying to do what God wants of him.  He told us that he doesn't smoke or drink or anything. We talked about the Book of Mormon and invited him to be baptized and he accepted.  He is learning and really interested.  In one of our lessons he said "I feel like God is calling me"  I was like yeah!  God is calling you.  He wants you to live with him again.  That's why he sent us to find you and help you.  He will be baptized the 2nd of March. 
  
SO yeah that´s what´s happening here.  It´s starting to cool off but it´s not quite as cool as it is there in NC.  Que loco no?  


 Ciao!
