Hno C- So two weeks ago we were walking all over and no one was home. I was tired and thirsty and I wanted to sit down so I pretty much forced this little old man to let us into his house to teach him and his wife. While we were waiting for him to open the gate my comp gave me a little eye roll and I looked at her and told her that this guy was going to get baptized ( a little sarcastically because this guy did not look interested at all!) But then we taught the lesson and they are this cute little couple from the interior- humble, cant read, cook lots of rice:) They know nothing about God, just that everyone talks about him but they have no personal relationship. We were able to teach them about how God really is their loving heavenly father and that they really can pray to him. Yesterday was the Hermanos 2nd Sunday at church and he loves it!! He was waiting for us ready to go and climbed the lomas faster than we did even though hes got a good 60 years on us. We teach them simply and go very slow but the desire that Hermano C has to come unto Christ is powerful!
Willie- A few weeks ago we met these two girls who told us they were less-actives and they started coming to english class. This week we went to go visit their family because they told us that their parents werent members. When we got there the mom was working so we taught the dad and the girls and the grandma about faith. We put cookies on the counter and talk about how faith can move mountains and then we ask them to move the cookies with their faith. Normally it takes a while for them to catch on but Willie (the dad) was quick. He jumped right up and said ´ima eat my cookies´ and grabbed the cookies from the counter. PREPARED! He was so ready to act on his faith and not just with the example, he was so willing to read what we left him and he wanted to come to church but they already had plans to travel this weekend. We met the mom on saturday and she is just as ready. They already have family prayers and want to be an eternal family.
Thats all, love you lots!!
