Well my companion and I were talking yesterday and we decided that this week was the fastest week of our missions! We worked really hard and are seeing progress in 7 investigators! They are awesome! Oh by the way, we found out this week that Hermano Cortez doesn't drink! He stopped drinking 6 months ago! and he is a bar tender!!!!! Well not really, he is just the boss of the bar! So he basiclly just manages all of the workers! He is an awesome man! The Lord has been preparing him for such a long time! It is a testimony of the power of God to know that 6 months ago the lord started preparing him with out him knowing. He had no idea why he stopped drinking, He just decide to do so and did! CHRIST LIVES! He read Alma 34 and took notes about the Atonement of Jesus Christ! He understood it and testify about the atonement so powerfully! I felt the spirit so strong in that lesson! I know that it is true! I could hardly keep from tearing up! After we taught about the atonement and the suffering in Gethsemane we asked him how he felt. He told us that he felt a deep sadness in his heart but said that at the same time just felt full of love and peace! He told us that he could not explain what he felt, It was nothing that he had ever felt before! He is a great man! We are also teaching an awesome family right now! The Prerez RdZ family! All 4 of them went to church this week and had an awesome spiritual experience! They told us a few days ago! that we were their hope and that they felt like we are guiding them spiritually! It feels so good to have the confidence of the investigators, thanks to the Holy Spirit that touches their hearts!
This transfer has been one of the best transfers of my mission! My companion and I have become great friends and every day we just have the best time! I am just enjoying life! ! 3 days ago we were walking in the street and we contacted a young man! After we left, from the house that was next to where we contacted, a lady whistled to call our attention! She was feeling alone and in need of her Savior, and told us that she got a message from her friend (recent convert that lives far away!) the night before that told her to look for missionaries and talk to them! The only thing is that she is in a wheel chair and can't leave the house! Ask me if we were not guided to the street in that moment that she was looking out the window! There is not a doubt! We taught her later that night! She told us that she always saw us passing by and told herself, "well aren't those the two happiest young men in the world! Walking back and forth in the rain and sun with a smile on their faces always!" but she never knew that we were missionaries of the church of Jesus Christ!
It's a good life! Live it up and always remember thanks to WHO we have life!
He is everything! He is my Savior!
