Spreading the Word

Tuesday we had to go to a different area to eat with the hermana, but she lived in a pretty cool place, on a hill overlooking the baseball field. Afterwards we were kind of rushed so we had to switch around our appointments. First we went to Martha´s house and she asked us if we drink Coca Cola, when we told her yes later she asked if we drank coffee, which set us up perfectly to teach the word of wisdom. She understood really well and had a lot of good questions and comments. When ending, we mentioned 1 Cor. 3:16 about the body being a temple and related it to the Temples. We showed her a picture of the temple and she asked how we build them. That set us up perfectly to teach tithing, which she already has a testimony of. She won´t be able to go to church or get baptized until after august, but she already wants to pay her tithing because she knows of the blessings that come from that sacrifice. She was a Jehovahs Witness, so has a lot of knowlege about some scriptures and commandments. Later we talked to Gaspar and Margarita and due to problems with their inlaws (they want to baptized their son) Margarita is no longer going to work. They sid theat their situation would be tight, but knew they could do it with the help of the Lord. I just had to explain to them the blessing of tithing in our lives. Some think its a burden- but it really is a chance to show the Lord our faithfulness and recieve many many promised blessings.
