The Work of the Lord

Thursday we visited with our awesome investigator Karla. She had read the chapter from the Book of Mormon, prayed about it, felt awesome, and had started to read more. We taught about baptism and she totally understood and agreed to be baptised the 13th of September. She is really just a good person, I love finding the chosen people who have just been prepared and are ready to hear the gospel. It has made me realize even more that the real missionary work starts with members and their interaction and examples to those around them. It is much easier to teach and baptize when there are people that already know that the church is something good and normal. Lot's of people are just intimidated by our white shirts and ties I think.

We also walked all the way to visit Gustavo, but he couldn´t visit with us. We had met Benedicto (an old investigator that we hadn´t seen in various weeks) on the way there, but on the way back we found him again. But the second time he agreed to let us talk to him again. We had a nice lesson about the gospel and the Spirit was felt. Later my comp expressed to me how awed he was that the Lord truly answers our prayers. The night before he had prayed to find Benedicto and to be able to teach him. It was nice.
