On Tuesday we had
exchanges with the other Elders, and I went with Elder Pena. He is
directly from Columbia, and we had a lot of success. We taught a lot,
found a lot of cool people, and had a lot of fun. For some reason, a lot
of the miracles I see on my mission are during exchanges. We also had
exchanges with the Zone Leaders, and I have a new zone leader, Elder
Salvesen. He's a funny elder. I went with Elder Withers and Elder Ruiz
went with Elder Salvesen. Elder Withers and I talked to a lot of
hispanics. He knows a little little bit of spanish, we found many
referrals more, because the zone leaders work in the other spanish
elders' area. There was one man we found who, after talking a little
bit, told us that he had just gotten out of a heated argument with his
wife and walked outside to chill off a little. We showed that Faith in
Jesus Christ card and explained how faith in Him helps us resolve family
challenges and problems. We explained how the Book of Mormon is about
how a family overcame family problems through a knowledge of Christ, and
how it helps us with families, and he read the whole introduction right
in front of us, got a phone call, silenced it, and turned to the
witnesses. It was awesome how the Book of Mormon caught someone's
interest so fast. There was another guy who was having family problems,
so we taught about the Book of Mormon, and he started reading it as we
left. That happened a few other times this week. On Saturday we came by
someone named Hector and it didn't seem like we would be able to teach
what we had planned, but then he had some questions connected with the
plan of salvation, so we were able to teach it.
On
Saturday night, we went by Maria Hernandez and she fed us pizza. After
we ate she went to her room and brought back her Book of Mormon. We
taught the plan of Salvation. President Layton and other authorities
have been saying that the Plan of Salvation captivates people, that it
is what hispanics need and are looking for, and it really does and is.
It looked like she was there to give back her Book of Mormon, but as we
taught how we will all be resurrected, that those of her family who have
passed will be resurrected with perfected bodies, she was amazed. We
are going back on Friday.
The Lord blessed us and
strengthened my faith that the Book of Mormon is what people are looking
for, even if they don't know it. I love you all, and please keep us in
our prayers.
Love,
Elder Sant
