Dear Family,
Well...its only been a short while since I wrote last...considering that our preparation day was on Thursday..so seems like I do not have too much to write. However Ill talk to you about what did happen.
Alright so we were able to have a really good lesson with Armando and Heraldo. Heraldo knows its true. You can see it in his countenance and the way that he talks. He is SUPER excited to read from the Book of Mormon :)
So..The other day we were walking in the park and came across an interesting man named vince. He started pretty much preaching to us. He then told us how he had surgery on his chest and then proceeded to lift up his shirt and showed us his scar that ran all the way up and down his chest. He told us how he had an out of body experience and that he pretty much died and came back to life and how he saw angels and his mother and father and brother who had died. Pretty much he told us that he was a miracle and that there have only ever been four people who have ever survived that surgery. haha He was really nice. While we were talking to him, there were these two drunk people that came up to us. Vince then continued telling us that he always trys to tell these people to stop drinking,because he knows it is bad for them. When one of them approached us this lady sitting next to vince said ," Speak kind to these ladys, they are not from New York." haha I love NY!
We were able to teach Jose our recent convert about the Priesthood. He is so excited to be able to prepare to recieve the priesthood. We were also able to teach him about temple work. You should have seen the look on his face and his eyes light up with joy when we told him that he could do the work for the dead, that he could do the temple work for his parents. He was SO happy!
Sunday the Elders had a baptism, her name was Jodalie Castillo. She is 19 years old and so cute! Elder Kooyman had to baptise her three times because her she kept getting scared and her toe came up. Elder Parker just told her that she now was the cleanest member :)
I am so excited for this next week! We found 3 new investigators this last week. The work is good! The people in NY are amazing and it is an adventure EVERYDAY :)
I love this work! For it is the work of the lord :)
I love you family SO much! Youre the best I could ask for!
Love
