First off we went to this lady that has been an investigator for over 40 years and knows more about the history of the church in San Luis than most of the members. She told us that she is content with just praying every day and doesn't need to do anything more, but Elder Belito is convinced that he is going to convert her, so we'll see how that goes. Next we went to another eternal investigator of theirs who told me all about how the aliens have been visiting us for 3,000 years and showed us the alien artifacts he found. Next he told us how the aliens have the advantage in technology but we have the advantage in spirituality and that he's looking forward to the second coming of Christ when Noah will fly down in his spaceship ark and save us all from when the sun explodes. And that basically sums up my time in Jacarandas.
Anyways, we had a super powerful experience when we finally got back to retornos and taught Amelia Tayabas and her family, after we finished the plan of salvation her 19 year old brother Mario said he wanted to come back to church even though the last time he was there was when he was 9 years old. And after he came on Sunday he told us that he wants to go and work with us for a day because he feels like he wants to go on a mission! Anyways the whole family is progressing so well and it is such a miracle, because at first only hermano Tayabas was supportive of us, but now everyone has the burning desire in their family. Anyways that is my rambling update of the week, its great to be with Elder Scoresby, he was in my area Retornos about nine months ago, and he's super excited to be back and work hard after he's seen how much the ward has progressed since his last time. Thanks so much for all the prayers and inspired words of confidence!
See ya next time!
