Elder Young Week 40 Teaching in Toto
On Sunday I gave a talk today to all the people. I talked about the restuaracio of the gospel it was about ten minutes long. Then we ate at hand. Pacajah's house. Lucas came to church again and will be baptized this Sunday. Milady and Angina came and will be baptized the 10th of May. And Christina came and will be baptized the 20th of May. They are all progressing at different rates. Later that day we went to meet with Maria. They needed our help putting down a pole. We put it down and then they gave us food and we talked for about 2 hours about the gospel with her friends as we celebrated the Catholic holiday. We gave a Book of Mormon to one of the people interested and we talked about how it would bless him. Maria shared her testimony and she really loves me, Elder Milo and Elder Linares. I baptized her and before she had bad depression and her husband was an alcoholic. Now she is happy, preparing for the temple and her husband is amazingly active and happy and says his most earnest desire is to hold the priesthood. He is an inspiration. They all are. Well see them in the temple in 1 year. They are so amazing. I talked with her about all her concerns; she is trying so hard to be a good mother and raised her kids in the gospel. They are the most genuine people I know and I love them for the bottom of my heart. They are so special to me and I am forever glad I got the chance to strengthen their faith. I love them so much and we had a great talk. She has changed so much as a person and is happy. The Holy Ghost has worked so much in her. It''s amazing. I felt amazingly close to the spirit when I left that house.I can't describe it. I talked to everyone on the way home just out of love. I felt so happy and how grateful I am for the church. I'm so excited for Lucas to get baptized. His family doesn't want him too but they are changing their mind seeing as he was an alcoholic for 25 years and has talked with so many preachers but now is stopping for good. He is such an honest and wonderful man. We stopped by his house just to say hi and he loved it. He is so funny. He thinks little jokes are hilarious and he can't hear very well so we shout our lessons to him in Spanish. He says he is going to get his ears cleaned at the doctor's office tomorrow so he can hear again. Ha-ha, he is wonderful and is not giving in to alcohol at all. His [friends [even offered him FREE alcohol at his cantina and he SAID NO!! He is so repenting and I love it. I hope all goes well so he can be baptized this week. Everyone at church was excited for him. I played piano again, as always. I can pretty much play any hymn by sight reading now just give me a time to run through it once before. The bishop here is a funny. He said I played the hymn to slow because the congregation were singing like turtles,so I played We Thank Thee Oh God For A Prophet at 150 beats a minute. In retrospect I shouldn't have done that, but he hasn't really complained since ha-ha. I repented of that.
