Open House - 02/04/13

We talked to Bro "A" for the first time last night. He told us before the lesson that he´s been listening to us for a while, that he loves our religion and what we do. He told us that now he wants to tell all of his friends that he´s a Mormon, but he´s scared because he doesn´t know the doctrine, so he picked up the Book of Mormon we gave him and he said that he´s got to be ready for their attacks. He works guard duty, so he´ll have tons of time to read. I´m so stoked for him and for his family. Things are looking really really good with him.

So this Saturday the Open House starts up. I´m freaking pumped! The first session is at 8:30 AM, and I´m hoping I can convince an investigator to go with me that early. If not, I´m sure I can go with one later in the day. We´ll have a bus leave every 30 minutes from the church, so that's pretty exciting. Or I could just walk there in 15 minutes. Either way, I´m going!!! Woo Hoo!

In other news, we had emergency transfers on Thursday.  My comp was called in to take the place of any elder and that elder came over here with me.  I´m trying not to judge him and to just see him as God see´s him. He doesn´t want to be here anymore. He told me that he´s going to talk to his Stake President. He called President last night, and they´re going to have an interview this week. I´m just trying to do what's right. I just want to teach the gospel. Mission drama is so dumb.

I miss my old comp. He´s a great guy, but I´m glad that the Lord trusts him enough to clean up the mess.

We´re planning to have a triple wedding on Valentine's Day. We´re going to marry Familia "A", and they are so stoked! The Relief Society president is throwing a party for them, so I´m really happy that we are getting so much support from the ward.

Thanks for everything guys. If you guys could pray for my companion, it would be great. He needs a lot of help. Also, if you could pray for me, I need to know what to say so that I can help him too. I don´t want him to throw his mission away.

Take care guys! Thanks for all of the prayers. You guys are the greatest!
