Hello all!
Elder Limocon and I had a wonderful week! We went out finding and the Lord really blessed us. We found a few families through referrals and finding along the way. Brother and Sister Vigonte gave us a referral this past week, the week after their baptism! It was awesome because they were able to come with us to Brother Vegonte's son and teach him and other members of his family. They bore testimony about their conversion and how much they have changed because of the gospel. It was so powerful! I am excited to see how Alex, Brother Vegonte's son, continues to grow in the gospel. we all had one great lesson with a sort of new couple we have been teaching. Their names are Edwin and Wilma. I don't remember if I already wrote about them. Anyway, in one of the lessons this past week, Sister Wilma expressed to us how her whole life she has been searching for more in terms of religion and how everywhere she has been she felt something missing. last week on the 22nd was her second time going to church, and in the lesson we had this last week she told us that after she came home from church, she knew this was the church she had been searching for her whole life! She made the decision that day that she was going to get baptized so we gave her a date for this upcoming October! Her husband has always expressed so much interest but he had a stroke about 3 years ago and can't really walk well. We were able to help Brother Edwin come to church yesterday with the help of the members! He loved it and also wants to get baptized along with his wife. They both were just so ready to listen to the gospel and accept it and I know it is because Heavenly Father knows them and has prepared them for this time. I love this gospel and especially love how the Lord has a hand in sharing it to these wonderful people. I know I cannot do it on my own and neither can Elder Limocon, or anyone of us missionaries. However if we put our trust in the Lord He will provide the means for these people to accept the gospel!
