Family and Friends,
What a special week it has been this past week! The Lord is truly opening the windows of Heaven, and the best part is we are able to see them because we are taking the time each night to see how many different ways we saw the Lord's hand in our life that day!!
But I am so so so happy to announce that our friend Julio accepted a baptismal date! We have been teaching him for some time now and he was baptized already in the past, but he never received the Gift of the Holy Ghost. So we were told that he would need to be baptized again because it has been some time! So last night we had a lesson with him and told him that he needed to be baptized again and he was a little taken back by it at first, but then we were able to see the Spirit softening his heart and he accpted the invitation! He told us that he wants to be obedient to God and if that is what God wants he will do it!
We also have been teaching this other kid named Isael! And Isael is the son on a member who is less active, and so we have been teaching and singing songs for him and then we asked if he had been baptized yet and he said no. So we asked if he would like to be baptized and he said yes! And we asked him why and he said because he wants to feel closer to God! And we think that is a pretty good desire to be baptized and so we are going to go full speed ahead with him!!!
Also another thing about quarantine is you learn to make up pretty dumb games! So i've had some companions in the past who won't drink the tap water, because they think it tastes gross or they just prefer bottle water. And for me I don't think you can taste the difference between the 2 but Elder Hiserman proved me wrong this past week! We set up 12 cups of water and put some tap and some bottle water in the cups and then lined them up and let him see if he could taste the difference! And he got a perfect 12/12. We were pretty blown away!
I hope you all have a blessed week! And watch out! Big milestone tomorrow! 100 days of quarantine!!!
