Week 76 - Busy Busy

Hello everybody!! Sorry for not being very diligent in my letters these past couple of weeks, we have just been very very busy lately. We have been working super hard and we are seeing a lot of miracles out here.

These past few weeks we have been teaching a young man of 20 years whose name is Daniel. His entire family goes to a Baptist church, but after attending a ward activity with some cousins he was curious about Christ's visit to the Americas found in the Book of Mormon. We have been teaching him ever since and he has been truly prepared by the Lord to receive the Gospel. He completed with every invitation and has felt that everything is true. On Friday night, it was time for his baptismal interview. He was unsure about being baptized because we'd only been teaching him for about 2 weeks. The missionary doing the interview (shout-out to Elder Moulton) helped him through a few doubts he had and after finishing up, he joined us back in the room along with his family. With tears streaming down his face he shared with us his testimony. "It has been a few weeks and I know that we have always gone to the other church but I feel that God is calling me, and I know the things that these missionaries teach are true. I know that Christ came and visited on this continent. And so on the 25th of January, I am going to be baptized." The Spirit filled the room and everyone was silent. His family, although of a different religion, told him they were going to support him. What a blessing it was to be part of that special moment. I gave him the biggest hug and told him it was the best decision he was ever going to make. This Saturday Daniel is going to be baptized and in a few months we are gonna get his family there too :)

A lot of other things happened this week too, but I will save those for later. Have a wonderful week everyone! Nos vemos!
