One More Time!
One more time! We´re gonna celebrate! Oh yeah, alright, I feel like
dancing! I am with Elder Bryan for one more time! This will be our
third transfer together which will bring us to a grand total of over
four months together by the end of this. I will probably never ever be
in sight and sound of someone like this for the rest of my life, but
we are really excited to keep at it. Across the mission there was very
little movement, our zone for example only had five leave. The Lord
has been really blessing us this last week with many people prepared
to hear the gospel. We are tracting farther and farther every week
because we have already tore through everything around the church. We
were walking down a dirt road near pretty much nothing and we decided
to knock at the only door in sight. A man answered and the second he
started talking, I felt the Spirit flow over me. That happens very
rarely to me in just a contact, but through the gift of the Holy
Ghost, Brigham Young taught we are apply to determine who is righteous
and prepared just from being near them. An apostle once said that he
could know everything about someone from just a handshake. Anyways...
he let us in and we began to teach his family. They were receptive to
the message and will go to church this week. One of them, Marcos,
works as security from midnight until 8 in the morning. He got of the
bus this last Sunday at 8:30 and went to church without sleeping and
then went to work immediately afterwards! And he loved it! He said he
hard never felt so much peace in his life and accepted to be baptized
this Sunday already! We are so stoked. Another lady named Josi also
went to church this Sunday with her two children. They loved it as
well and the ward as already started integrating her with a family
night and with moral support. She as well wants to be baptized!
Another investigator we had recently returned from a trip to visit her
sick grandmother. She was being a little weak about our messages, but
decided to take the Book of Mormon with her. Her uncle is an active
member of the church and was really happy to hear that she was
thinking about becoming a member. Her grandmother asked her to open
the book and read from it to her. Marcia opened to a chapter that
talks about war, mourning, and the spirit world in Alma 28. Her
grandmother and her began to cry and she this really impelled her to
secure her place in paradise. She is preparing to be baptised in a
week from Saturday! We were going to show her the baptismal font, but
there was a dead cockroach and a giant spider in it so we decided that
wouldn´t help so much.
My companion, Elder Bryan, is pretty dang funny. He come from a small
town in Nevada where hunting is the thing to do. He said they have
killed hundreds of bunnies, but never eats them... What a waste. There
is about 15,000 people there and a bunch of desert so I guess they are
limited on what they can do. He cracks me up when he starts talking in
a hick accent or almost hits his head on things because he is 6´6´´.
Here´s some pictures of our area, my meat meal when food ran out, etc.
Well that´s all folks.
Come on really,
Elder Healy
