Another week down haha. This week has breezed by as we worked hard with a man named Francisco. Francisco is 76 yrs old, and has never wanted anything to do with the church. His wife is a member, but has been in active for over 40 yrs. About a month ago we started working with his wife, Maria, to get her to come back. We invited Francisco to join us multiple times, but never would. Then one day he had already been sitting at the table when we arrived, and decided it was easier to stay and sit, then try to get up and leave haha. But that lesson, he said he felt something that he'd never felt before, and that he wanted it again. From then on, he came and listened to us, taking notes and being super attentive. We invited him to be baptized but told us that it would take time, months even, to learn and decide if this is what he should do. Well last week, we invited him again, expecting him to choose one in Feb. even March., and he chose the 23 of Jan! We were super excited. He still needed to be taught some things, but said he felt it was time. So this week we've been teaching him the commandments, at first he seemed confused and surprised they were commandments, but immediately after learning what they were, every time he would tell us, "Hermanos, if its from God, then of course ill follow it!" It was pretty awesome. Because he is kinda old, he forgets a little, and needs a little reminder sometimes when we are asking him questions, but his faith is awesome, and is super ready to get baptized! Now we just have to get everything set up and ready for him this Saturday!!!
We have that big meeting coming up on wed. about all the changes. Not too excited for some of the rumors I've heard haha, but when they are coming from an apostle I guess their important right? haha. We'll see. I hope their not too big of changes.
So we got our new roommate. His name is elder Diamonate (jamante). He is from the Philippians. He is a super nice kid, but definitely is a foreigner haha. It'll be fun having him around, and his happiness he brings.
Well that's it for this week 🤗haha
Love u guys
Elder miller
