Hola Familia!
How is everything going? Things here
are going good. Trying to finish up strong here! This past week we were walking
to an appointment and we got there and they cancelled. So we started to walk
down the hill and we felt prompted to turn around and we started to walk back
up the hill...after 3 or 4 minutes we were yelled at by someone from a car so
we stopped and she pulled over and asked if we spoke Spanish so we told her
that we did. We began talking with her and then she pulled into the street and
we taught her a lesson there for like 30 minutes and she explained how she was
struggling and was going through a lot of depression. She isn't a member but
she said as she was driving she felt like she should try and stop us. So we
were talking to her and testified that God knew that she needed help. She
agreed and thought it was crazy that she just felt to stop and we told her our
side of the story..About how we were going the opposite direction but then felt
the need to turn around what happened to both of us. We promised her that the
reason why we turned around was for
her..She thought the whole thing was intriguing...We told her that was how God
worked and we shared 1 Nephi 4:6 (“And I
was led by the Spirit, not knowing beforehand the things which I should do.”) with
her and told her that is exactly what happened to both of us. She obviously
could feel the spirit as she agreed. She kept going on and on after that about
how hard her life was and about how lonely she felt and how she just needed to
feel comfort. She said that was the number one thing that she wanted right now
(the peace and comfort of the Holy Ghost) so we testified that was what she
needed. She needed the gift of the Holy Ghost and we told her that she can get
that through baptism.
There is a good story of that in 3
Nephi where it says that the people prayed for what they desired most, which
was the Holy Ghost. Then it says they were baptized.
We invited her to be baptized and
she agreed! She doesn't live in our area but she will be a solid referral for
the missionaries in the other mission. She was crying a lot but you could tell
that just by the 20 or 30 minutes we talked she received some hope.
That was pretty much the biggest
miracle of the week!
Hope all is going well for you and
we'll see ya in 3..
Siempre Crean,
Elder Creer
