He is the Same

Hey family!!!

The week has been an emotional rollercoaster! To start of the week, we walked and walked and walked… I felt like a pioneer child. Hahaha! I never thought that I would walk so many hills in my life! We are closer to the center part of the island, which becomes nothing but hills. We walk up and down hills so much that we can't see where it ends! But hey my calves are going to turn out great :) Hahaha!

We started out with a lot more walking then teaching this week. It was sad but it seemed that no one was in their houses or that no one wanted to talk to us but in times of tribulation, God sends the blessing! We have found the golden investigators of Juana Diaz!

Sad little Kitten we found, gave a bath, and got it some food.

First we found, or rather he found us, Luis! Luis stopped by us one day in his car and gave us his directions, number, and when we could come by. It was amazing! We were able to pass by and teach him just recently on Sunday! He and his wife, Mari, are incredible. They have just been searching for the truth in all the wrong places. I literally think they have visited about every single church in the area! But they said that there is always something that leaves them not feeling full or makes them want to just run for the door! We taught them about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. When we started to talk about Joseph Smith, Luis told us the entire story about how Joseph found the plates. He told us that after he past us on the street, he did his research. I know that sounds scary because usually people get to all the bad stuff before the good... But he literally told us everything that was true doctrine. He was super happy when we gave him and his wife each a Book of Mormon and asked them to read Moroni 10. He said yes and that he would read the rest of the book too! He and his wife accepted to be baptized if what they read and what they felt afterwards was the truth. Four days of walking made it all worth it in one short hour!!!

Our other golden investigator’s name is Yoan! She is a middle-aged woman that has tremendous faith in Christ and the Bible. So while we were teaching her the restoration, lets just say we definitely didn't finish there but we got a diving inspiration to teach the 10 commandments from Mosiah 13. I don't know if you guys have heard but after the new law was passed in the USA, the Pope 'received revelation' to change the ten commandments. He changed some of the most important. But on the positive note our investigator shared with us this information and told us her opinion on the matter. Her opinion was the same as ours that Christ came to not do away with his Father’s work but to fulfill it. We can't change the Commandments because the world is changing. It really doesn't matter how much the world changes, God is the same yesterday, today and forever. We still need to follow the same law and ordinances from the beginning of the world. In my opinion, we need it now more then ever! We need to be strong in our choices and our decisions so that we can fight this great battle that is upon us.

I really love you all so much and hope that you all have a great week. Please remember you all can strengthen your relationship with your Heavenly Father this week by getting on your knees and calling on him!!

Con Amor Siempre,
