Turns out even though the area didn´t have missionaries for nearly a month there are a ton of people that are extremely prepared to hear the gospel. One of them was Alexis, a 17 year old who had gone to church even while the missionaries weren´t here. And he was simply so prepared that we were able to share all the lessons and he was able to be baptized on Saturday!
It meant so much to his family, especially his dad who was a member since childhood and was very happy to have his son accept the gospel. Anyways, we have truly seen the hand of the lord at work here, we cannot say we are thankful enough! There definitely is a merciful and powerful God that works for every one of us personally and cares for our salvation!
Love,
Elder Varney
