Hi Family! I hope you had a great fourth of July week and that there were lots of fireworks involved for my part! We did divisiones on the fourth and I went with Elder Lopez and he had the national anthem on his usb so we heard that a few times, but unfortunately there was a protest against the lack of neighborhood security in another part of our area and the streets were closed and we couldnt order pizza.... but we did find lots of future investigadores.
The coolest experience of this week was finding an investigador named Eduardo. We contacted him outside while it was raining and he was lighting a cigarette. We asked him about his concept of religion and God and he told us that for him God can be a plant or an animal or something in nature. We explained the Godhead to him and left him a pamphlet of the plan of salvation. We found him two days later and he explained to us that he had read and understood that before this life we lived with God as his spirit children and that the fall of Adam and Eve was something God knew would happen, and that through the atonement of Jesus Christ we can overcome the fall. We then gave him a pamphlet of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and he loved it and said he understood that he needs to get baptized. A Jehova´s Witness tried to give a pamphlet and he said you can give it to me but im sorry im mormon!!! The guy even had his wife iron his pants to go to church and he took out some brand new shoes. The bad news is that he is moving to Mexico city this week and he was so sad to tell us that.
We were able to place 6 baptismal dates this week and of the 11 investigators that said they were gonna show up, 6 of them did so that was great:)) We should have about 5 more baptisms this change so lets see what happens:)
I love you all tons and hope you have a great week!!
Elder Jordan Saunooke
