| Can you say TEN!!! |
So this week was sweet! Me and my companion set a goal this month to baptize 10 people! Which is kinda crazy because that's more that is normally baptized during a year. But its totally going to happen. There is a book called calling on the powers of heaven, and it gives 17 steps that you have to do to be able to call on the powers of heaven or (have a huge miracle happen) So we made 2 posters and put them on our wall. one of the is the 17 steps, and the other is our plan of how we are going to achieve our goal. One of the things we are doing is like is says in alma 26:22 praying always without ceasing. So me and my companion are trying to be praying all day long, either out loud as we are walking in the street, or in our minds, or we are singing hymns. Its an amazingly spiritual experience. Its been about 6 days now that we have been doing this and I've never felt the spirit so strongly with me in my life! So one of the things that we put into our plan is that we would involve our family, friends, and the members here in this goal. So I am asking everyone that reads this blog to please pray for us that this miracle can happen. That we can find 10 elects and help them be baptized in March. There are also alot of other things we are doing to exercise our faith and show the lord that we have faith and we really believe that this will happen. One of these things is that we decided that we would fast once for every one of the people that will be baptized. So we are going to do 10 fasts during this month. We are so excited! This Weekend a young man that we are teaching named Gabriel is going to be baptized! He is 15, and we found him knocking doors about a month ago. He is really integrated with the youth in this ward. And everyone is super excited for him to be baptized!!!
Story: So we are teaching a man named Gilson. Its safe to say that he is a drunk. He´s been drunk every day of his life for about the past 10 years. But he is such a good guy! He went to church this Sunday, which was awesome! But when we were at church my companion had a super strong urge to give him food, he felt like Gilson was needing food. Weird huh! So during church we went looking for food, and we were asking some members if they had food, but we only ended up finding some bread. So we told him to follow us to the kitchen and we asked him when the last time he ate was, he said that it had been over 3 days!!!! So we offered him some bread and he was so happy. It was way cool to see my companion receive inspiration like that...
So this week we were teaching Gilson and he had 4 friends over, which were all completely drunk. So it was kinda hard to teach, but when we were talking to them one of them got mad at the other and he grabbed him by the shirt and held his fist up like he was going to punch him, but he was so drunk I think that if he would have tried he would have missed! haha And he was like do want me to hit you now? or later? now or later? And we were like whoa whoa whoa stop! You cant hit him! and re looked at us and was like "Really? Why? is it a law of god?" and we were like ''"YES" And then he said oh ''Ok sorry" and let him go. But it was so funny, it was just one of those things you had to be there to see.
Anyways that's about it!
Love you all!
