Consider yourself very lucky to be enjoying fall. There is no such thing as fall around here. IT is just 80 or 90 degrees, huge himidity. Actually it has been pretty nice, but it is supposed to be hot again soon.
Oh just so you know, this week i crashed my bike... dumb story , not exciting. And this week was the county fair, and i rode a mechanical bull! lol IN MY missionary clothes. someone filmed it too, hopefully you will get a copy of me getting thrown! BUT someone noticed "a mormon missionary" riding the bull and we got a new investigator because of it, so i think it was definately spiritual guidance that led me to ride the bull... lol.
So this week was amazing!!! We are teaching a husband and wife named simplicio and silvia. They were absolutely prepared for the gospel. Simplicio has been a catholic, protestant, and jehovah witness and always, he could never find all the answers he was looking for. One of his major questions (get this!) is what happened to the people in the americas. He wanted to know about his ancestors, and we have all those answers in the Book of mormon. It was amazing last thursday, probably one of the most amazing experiences in my life, as i watched that light in his eyes click. We spent that lesson answering all of his questions, and the spirit was so strong as we taught him restored bits of truths. At the end we asked him to pray to know if the BoM was true, he said he didnt need to, just because of our testimonies and the spirit he already believed. We commited him anyways. They also came to church yesterday, and i am really beginning to understand the universal language of the spirit. They felt something, even though they couldnt understand it. We then had a lesson with them during sunday school, and we answered more questions, and the spirit was so strong. It was amazing, Silvia gave the closing prayer, and towards the end she started getting emotional. I realized that this gospel has the power needed to change lives for the better. Tomorrow we will hopefully commit them to baptism. I am so excited to be a part of bringing them unto christ. Even though i can hardly speak and share my feelings, just being able to see it is amazing!
Mommy, i love it here. I am realizing that and falling in love with it more and more. There is nothing better than being a missionary, and i want to thank you for helping me get out here.
I love you! Thanks for everything!
