Dear Family,
This
week was quite great. We have been seeing miracles with the people we are
teaching. One of them, Christian, who we found a few weeks ago is happily
preparing for his baptism. He is about 45 years old, and recently moved
here. His baptismal date is the 4th of April. He accepted tithing
yesterday. When we taught him the Word
of Wisdom 2 weeks ago, we found that he occasionally drinks, frequently smokes,
likes tea, and drinks coffee every morning, but ever since he accepted to live
the Word of Wisdom 2 weeks back he hasn’t had a problem. He reads the
Book of Mormon and that helps him. He is an interesting character and
gets very easily distracted and goes off on random tangents, but we did
practices in our studies of how to control the lessons and it has helped a
lot.
Teresa
and Pia are also doing good. Teresa hasn’t smoked, and her daughter Pia
has been a good reminder for her. When we leave them something to read in
the Book of Mormon they read it together and talk about it before the next
lesson. Their baptismal date was changed to the 28th of March, and
they are progressing well. Tomorrow we will teach them
tithing. If you could keep in your prayers Christian, Teresa, and Pia, it
would be great.
I
am so excited for today, the first P day in a while where we aren’t busy doing
lots of stuff. Last week for example the zone activity was make and eat
pizza for brunch and play basketball, it was fun but tiring. Today will
be a great day.
The
Book of Mormon is the word of God. I know it is true. When we read
from it God blesses us with the Spirit. I am so glad to have the Book of
Mormon as a teaching tool. Today from the office we picked up a box of 36
copies of the Book of Mormon from the zone. Such a power tool!
I
love you all more than the number of times in the Book of Mormon that we are
given reminders to have faith in Jesus Christ.
