Last night we got the transfer calls but Elder Garcia and I
are staying together for one more transfer so I get to continue imparting my
wisdom with him. 😀 We've got things rolling here and are excited to reap the
harvest over the next 6 weeks.
To start out we finished teaching Pascual and Oscar the
lessons on Friday and he understood and liked the commandments. He's been
listening to the Book of Mormon every day at his job as a welder and is now in
Jacob. We've seen such a change in him. His whole countenance has changed since we first met him. He came to church for the fourth week in a row and is
ready to be baptized this Saturday with his son Oscar!
Also on Friday we visited a Venezuelan family that had been
coming to English class and it went super good! They talked about their
transition from Venezuela to here and how they had to start at square one
economically and socially. But we shared 2 Nephi chapter 1 verse 6 that talks
about how those who come to this country are brought by the hand of God. Neysi,
the mama of the family loved that scripture and how after it talks about the
Lord prospering those that keep His commandments. They committed to come to
church and Neysi actually ended up coming and loving it.
That's really all the noteworthy things that happened this
week but I'll try to include some better stories and stuff next week.
