First we were walking through a park here in our area and I saw a man that his eyes were red from crying. We sat down by him and we asked if there was anything we could do. He didn´t say much, until we began to talk about his family and he told us that his son, had passed a wicked hard experience. He had recently joined a church, that didn´t let him play his instruments. (His son plays baritone and trombone, and studied in the best university in Lima for mucisians) His father loves hearing him play and sees that this church has been changing his son but not for the better. We said that we might be able to help and he began to smile and talk more and more, and then came the surprise... He told us, A few months ago I saw three books in the trash. I went and picked them up and I began to read one with a blue cover. I think the book is from your church! I love it!!! I´m reading in NEFI. Haha, out of nowhere we began to talk about the story and he told us it brought peace to his life!!!
Second, We were pretty sad when Maribel told us this week that she was confused and wasn´t going to be baptized. We had tried everything, and we felt pretty horrible. But after church we were talking with president Licera, and what do you know he had taken maribel and her husband to dinner the night before, with his wife and the first councilor and his wife! They talked about baptizm got all of their doubts straightened out, and put a baptismal date for this sunday!!! It was something so so huge! She will be baptized this sunday exactaly a year after her husband was baptized. It´s a miracle!!!
President Licera asked for us to use our filming skills, and we have interviewed a lot of return missionaries taking videos of them talking about their experiences. The Elder´s quorm president, Carlos Zamora told us, that walking through the streets one day a carpinter came up to him and said, why don´t you talk with me? I want to learn! So they began to teach him and the left him 2 nephi 31... They came back and the man began to cry and testify to them, ´If Christ being perfect needed to be baptized, how much greater it is that I have need to be baptized! I know the book of mormon is ture´. He was baptized with his all of his children and his wife. He has been a branch president and all of his children have served missions and the whole family is sealed in the temple!!! I hope to get all these videos on a USB to be able to show everyone these amazing experiences, there are a lot!!!
It´s been amazing, Familia Rojas is progressing a lot and they have began to come to church and read the book of mormon it looks like it´ll be just a matter of time! I know that this really is the true church and that the mission is the best thing that can happen to any person. I know that the book of mormon is true and I know that we can all be happy in a world where it´s hard to do so. I love all of you so much!!!
