HEYY EVERYONE!!! SOO THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GREAT!!!
OUR INVESTIGATORS ARE PROGRESSING REALLY WELL!!! I HAVE A SCARY STORY ABOUT ONE OF THEM I WANT TO SHARE NOW...
S--- IS THE GUY WHO ASKED US WHICH OF ALL THE CHURCHES IS
EL SAVADOR WERE RIGHT... WELL HE HASNT BEEN DOING SOO WELL... HE DRINKS A
LOT AND HAS NOO DESIRE TO CHANGE... YESTERDAY WE WENT AND VISITED HIM
AND WE WERE ASKING HIM IF HE HAD ANY DESIRE TO CHANGE HE SAID NO AND
TOLD US HE LIKES DRINKING AND THAT HE IS LOST BECAUSE HE IS A SINNER...
WE TOLD HIM THAT ISNT TRUE AND THAT HE CAN COME BACK THROUGH REPENTANCE,
AND THAT IT IS SATAN WHO WANTS HIM TO BELIEVE THAT... HE SAID HE NEW HE
WAS FOLLOWING SATAN BECAUSE HE HAS SEEN AN EVIL SPIRIT WHO HE THINKS
WAS THE DEVIL, HE SAID ONE DAY HE CAME OUT OF HIS ROOM AND THERE WAS A
MAN IN BLACK STANDING IN HIS HOUSE, THE MAN STARTED TO LAUGH AT HIM AND
POINT AT HIM, HE SAID HE GOT SUPER SCARED AND RAN BACK IN HIS ROOM
LOCKED THE DOOR AND JUST STARTED PRAYING TO GOD. I ASKED HIM IF HE
WANTED TO LIFE LIKE THAT FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE, HE SAID YEAH, I LIKE
DRINKING AND SINNING. I ASKED HIM IF HE WERE TO DIE TOMORROW DO YOU WANT
TO SEE THE LORD LIKE THIS, HE SAID HE REALLY DIDNT CARE... UGH THIS
GUY!!! HE IS SOO BLINDED BY THE LIES OF THE DEVIL HE TRULY BELIEVES HE
IS LOST FOREVER!! IT MAKES ME SOOO SAD BECAUSE HES NOT BUT HE DOESNT
KNOW THAT AND HE IS TOO STUBBORN TO BELIEVE IT!! I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR
HIM SOO MUCH BECAUSE I FEEL SOO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS MAN AND I KNOW HE
CAN BE CHANGED!!! IM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP ON HIM... BUT YEAH WHEN HE
TOLD US THAT I JUST GOT CHILLS ALL OVER, AFTER THAT HE TOLD US THAT HE
LOVES WHEN WE COME OVER BECAUSE HE FEELS HAPPY AND AT PEACE, HE DOESNT
BELIEVE HE CAN FEEL THAT WAY ON HIS OWN THO... :(
MORE THIS WEEK...
I TALK TO EVERYONE!! AND
THIS WEEK IT PAID OFF!! WE WERE AT A STORE AND I SAW THIS GUY AND HIS
SON! I STARTED TALKING TO HIM AND I SAW THAT HE HAD A BIBLE, I ASKED HIM
ABOUT IT AND HE SAID THAT HE IS STUDIING THE BIBLE!!! I SAID THAT I TOO
HAVE BEEN STUDING SCRIPTURE BUT THAT I HAVE BEEN STUDING ANOTHER BOOK
CALLED THE BOOK OF MORMON, I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT IT WAS AND HOW IT
RELATED TO THE BIBLE, I GAVE IT TO HIM AND SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GO
TO HIS HOUSE. YSTERDAY WE WENT TO HIS HOUSE AND TAUGHT HIM THE FIRST
LESSON!! HE SAID THAT HE BELIEVED THAT GOD WOULD SEND A PROPHET. WE
ASKED HIM IF HE HAD A CHANCE TO READ THE BOOK WE GAVE HIM, HE SAID THAT
HE WAS SORRY BUT THAT HE HAS ONLY READ 5 PAGES!!! HAHA HE SAID HE WAS
SORRY BUT THAT HE WOULD FINISH IT SOON!! HAHA HEE IS AAMAZING!!!
GOLDEN!!! HAHA AFTER THAT LESSON I WAS SOOO GREATFUL I TALK TO EVERYONE
CUZ IF I HADNT TALKED TO HIM WE WOULDNT HAVE FOUND HIM!!! AHHHH!! THANK
YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT.
I NEED ADVICE... THERE ARE A LOT OF MISSIONARIES WHO
FOCUS WAY TOO MUCH ON NUMBERS, I KNOW NUMBERS ARE IMPORTANT TO MAKE
GOALS AND STUFF BUT I DONT WANT TO START LOOKING AT PEOPLE AS A NUMBER,
BECAUSE THEY ARE PEOPLE AND SOULS, SOO MY QUESTION IS... HOW CAN I DO
NUMBERS AND BE SURE THAT I DONT BEGIN TO FOCUS ON THAT?? THAT IS MY
WORRY, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME GOOD MISSONARIES HERE THAT HAVE HIGH
BAPTISMAL NUMBERS BUT THOSE PEOPLE DONT STICK!! MY COMPANION TOLD ME
THAT HE FELT THAT TOO AND THAT HE HAS BEEN FOCUSING ON CONVERTING PEOPLE
NOT BAPTISING THEM!! HE HAS 11 BAPTISMS AND THEY HAVE ALL STUCK!!! HE
IS AWESOME!!!
MORE THIS WEEK... I HAD A SOUP THAT HAS WHOLE FISH,
LOBSTER, CRAB, AND SHRIMP IN IT. LIKE IT BONES SCALES CLAWS HEADS
EVRYTHING HAHAH IT WAS REALLY GOOD!!! LOOKED SUPER WIERD THO!! HAHA WE
ALSO GO SUPER LOST OUT IN THE JUNGLE WILDERNESS!! HAHA NOO HOUSES OR
ROADS OR ANYTHING!!! JUST TREES, AND CORN HAHA THIS WEEK HAS BEEN
GREAT!! THANKS FOR ALL THE PRAYERS!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!
-ELDER DENNIS!!!
