A few good investigators
we found: We found a lady named Lady (haha) and her boyfriend Daniel.
They go to a different church but are super interested. They had tons of
questions and really want to learn about what we teach. While teaching them,
Daniel read 2 entire pamphlets and the whole introduction to the Book of Mormon!!!
WOW!! He began asking tons of really good questions. They are awesome.
Another lady we found
is named Jennifer Lopez. Hahahaha, en serio (Seriously!). She also goes to a
different church but really wanted to learn more, especially what doctrines the
church is founded in. We had an awesome lesson with her, and she really wants
to find the truth.
Also a lady named
Erlinda, who was waiting for us when we went back to her house for the appointment.
She is a teacher in the Catholic church and claims to know a lot about the
Bible, but when we started teaching the Restoration and teaching about prophets
and such, she learned a lot and loved it. :)
We found an awesome
couple--Jefferson and Adriana. THEY ARE MARRIED!!!! (A miracle here in
Colombia.) Haha. Adriana is super Catholic and loves the Catholics but also
wants to find the truth and says she feels there is more truth out there that
she hasn’t found. Jefferson is kind of interesting. He loves God and wants to
learn about Him, but he doesn’t believe in churches and doesn’t see a need
for them. He also refuses to read the scriptures (because they are made by man
and can’t be from God, according to him). It was an interesting lesson, but
they are very nice and like talking about God.
We also found this
family that is pretty awesome. The dad isn’t super interested but wants
his kids to learn. The mom is just starting to study with the Jehovah’s
Witnesses but also listens to us. The 2 kids are 20 and 15. They are a lot more
interested and were asking lots of questions and then both said, “What do we
have to do to be missionaries like you guys?” WOOOO! Haha. They are
awesome and really ready to act and do what we taught.
God is good. Lots of
good appointments with awesome people makes the week pass faster and better. We
had a zone conference on Thursday and the area president (Elder Alvarado) came.
It was pretty good. It was awesome seeing the other guys that were in Bolivia
before. We are working a lot better and set some pretty awesome goals for this
week.
The Bible is the word
of God. It is an outline of God’s actions with His children. The Bible
truly helps us know God more and can help us improve our relationship with Him.
The Book of Mormon is the word of God and helps us know Christ better and what
we need to do to follow Him. WE NEED TO STUDY AND APPLY THEM BOTH. Without the
Bible we would be lost. Without the Book of Mormon we would be lost. We need to
learn from and study all the words God has given us. If you want to be better,
you only need to study the scriptures better. I know the scriptures contain the
words of God.
Les amo!!
