Im just gonna cut to the chase today, ANOTHER BAPTISMAL COMMITMENT!!!
So here is the story: remember the woman Sol that I was talking about last week? the one that we taught in her house last week, and were hoping to commit a ser bautizado? Well here is her storey about last week. So me and my companion had been planning all week all day all the time a lesson for her. We prayed for her all day every day to just be back so we could teach her (when you only have one investigator you have a lot of time to plan for her). so we were hoping sooo hard for her to be able to hear our lesson, because she had so much faith. But, we went to her house on saturday at the time (11:00) that we had planned, and she wasnt there. we were way way devistated, but we werernt going to give up that early! so we returned 5 times to her house and were preying so hard that she would be there, but she never was. But for some reason, the spirit kept on telling us over and over to just go back and try again, and we were almost ready to say to the holy ghost "look, we have been going back over and over again, and i think we can recognize a regection when we get one". finally, it was half an hour from the time we had to run to get our bus back to the CCM, and we decided that we would just go back one last time and check to see if she was there. nothing. so we just decided to just leave a nice little note and head out. But, while i was writing this note, that i planned to be short, for some reason I just couldnt end it, I kept on being prompted to write more and more to her, and soon we had been standing in the little dirty street writing her a letter for 15 whole minuits i wondered if it would have just been faster to put the whole Preach my Gospel in her mailbox! but just as I was about to drop the letter in her mailbox, we figgured out why the spirit told us to spend so much time writing the letter. just before i dropped it in, around the corner came Sol!!!! As soon as we saw her the spirit was soo srong and.. long-super-spiritual- experience-short, we taught her our lesson out in the dirty argentine street, literally about 20 feet away from a busy train track, we taught her, and the spirit testified it was true, and she commited to be baptized in 2 weeks from today! Man, i wish I had more time to explain all of the storey, and all of the so many little miricles that happened in order for this experience to happen, but it was the coolest experience i have ever had, and i am so amazed that I have had the opertunity to feel the spirit commit 2 people to baptism, and still be in the MTC! i love it. but it does make me more and more eager to leve the CCM and do that stuff every single day. only 11 days till i leave!
Oh, and something else that i have forgotten to mention all these weeks, but I am the district leader for my dist. in the CCM. It has been such a humbling experience to learn how to be a leader of a group of elders, but i have learned so much, and its nice to get personal instruction from the president of the CCM (pres george) almost every day.
Anyways, sorry didnt have much time to type this week, but thanks for all your prayers! Church is true!
