D & C 59:11

Family,

 

DULCE CAME TO CHURCH!! She has told us for like the past 5 or 6 weeks that she would come, but finally came. It truly is a miracle. We thought that she had lost interest, but she told us some things that we didn't really want to hear. Her family does not like her meeting with us. They won't tell her that she can't but they are trying to do everything to discourage it. When they see us calling her on the phone, they take her phone. When we knock on the door, they lie and say she isn't there.

But she came to church. She came in a very strapless dress but hey, that's ok for your first time. We had an AWESOME Gospel principles class with her. First, she had heard things that after you join the church, then the Mormons "really teach you what they believe." Then they divulge their "true doctrine." But then Cesar Sanchez, a Recent convert, totally destroyed that theory. He said that the only thing that changed was him. He bore testimony of how he had made a 180 degree change. It was awesome. Then she brought up her family concerns. The members, not us, the members, helped her realize that we have to please God before family. She loved church. She told us that she felt the spirit. She said that she liked it too much haha. It is a testimony to me of church and how it can influence people! A prayer or two her way couldn't hurt either. Pray that her family will stop being buttheads!!!!

We found a cool investigator. His name is Juan Francisco. He is Dominican (YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!) This is how he was found. A couple members were looking for some less-actives, saw him on the street, then just started talking. They said it's not every day you see two gringos that speak spanish walking down the street! They just decided to talk to him. They opened their mouths. He wanted a large print Bible. We ordered one, and gave him a large-print triple combination in the meantime. We taught him the Restoration and read 3 Nefi 11 with him. He loved it. We set a date with him for the 8 of September. So STOKED!!!

We reset a date with Romeris. She is set for the 4 of August. We just gotta teach her some commandments, then she has to live them, get interviewed, and get dunked. It is gonna be awesome.

We had interviews with President Anderson this week. He is awesome. He was serious in the interview when he needed to be, but then as soon as we left the room, he was joking around and having a good time. He is awesome.

Well there are miracles happening here in Valley Forge. It is awesome. The Gospel is true. Of that there is no doubt. I love this work. I am a month away from my year mark. Scary stuff man. Love ya all
