Last week Courtney got to call me per new mission communication rules and as luck would have it I was in Italy with Cristiana and they got to talk via FaceTime, I didn't even think to take a screenshot :( but it was so great to hear her voice and she is doing Wonderful in her area and has a great companion.
Good morning,
Well!! This week has been wild! But awesome. Last Monday night we had our first lesson with this man Hiram, and at first he was like, "How long is this going to take?" And we said, "Fifteen minutes max." And we began to teach and a light just came into his eyes, and he was asking a ton of questions about prophets and the apostles. I was explaining about how Joseph Smith had a marvelous experience and he interrupted and said, "WHAT HAPPENED?!" Then when Hermana Nelson was talking about the Book of Mormon, he asked where we could buy one, and we were like, "IT'S FREE, IT'S A GIFT!" He's so awesome. He lives in the next town over, Barranquitas, so it's hard to have daily contact, but we still call or he calls. We had a second lesson on Thursday, and that was basically just answering his questions about the church and baptism and everything. He keeps saying that we bring happiness and joy into his life when we visit and teach him the word of God, he's really very sweet. He also said he would be baptized when he knew it was true, and he was so pumped to go to Church, he just couldn't this week because a rat chewed through the wires in his car, which is unfortunate. We are going over tonight to teach the Plan of Salvation, so I'm really excited about that. I really love Hermano Hiram. Theres so much more to say but not enough time!! well I love you all!! have a wonderful week! oh and ps. i got FRIED one day while walking to one of our appointments across town, pictures will be included!!
Love you all! Have a wonderful week!
Love,
Hermana Gray
