The Holy Ghost is key in missionary work. The Holy Ghost is strong and it testifies of things that are true. "I know that the Book of Mormon is true" is an interesting sentence."
That's cool Elder Ditto, but what does that even mean??
I know that water is true. I know that 2 + 2 = 4 is true. Maybe you know that one fish two fish, red fish blue fish is true? When I say that I know the Book of Mormon is true, it means that when I read the Book of Mormon I want the principles I learn about, such as repentance through Jesus Christ, to be real and applicable to my life today. Through my own experiences with feeling forgiveness and the Holy Ghost after repenting, I know the Book of Mormon teaches a true principle about repentance and forgiveness. And the Book of Mormon teaches a lot of other true principles as well. As you and I read the Book of Mormon the Holy Ghost will inspire us to apply the things we learn and we will gain a very real testimony of its truth.

We have an amiga (investigator) named Lululemon, codename, she is from Honduras and is (was) very Evangelical for 15 years. She has talked to the missionaries many times and told them a few months ago she is not interested in our church, dale no pasa nada. But God let the Holy Ghost know about the situation so the Espiritu Santo zoomed down from the heavens and knocked on the heart of Lululemon. Lululemon looked through the peephole and saw it was the Holy Ghost, she considered her options and cracked open the door to it, The Holy Ghost made friends with Lulu and since that day, Lululemon seems to left the door wide open to the Holy Ghost so he can revisit her heart whenever she prays, reads the Book of Mormon, comes to church, or meets with us. We have only met with Lululemon two times so far but they have been some of the most spiritual lessons I have been able to be a part of in a long time. She is an honest seeker of truth. and like the Book of Mormon teaches, "By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things." Lulu is slowly accepting the restored gospel truths. God loves his children so much that he doesn't give up on them ever. I can't lie, I didn't have too much hope for Lululemon when she literally texted us that she did not want to meet with us. But God was patient and gave her another chance. God has given me a lot of chances, and I am very grateful for that. God loves you.

Yo, actually a crazy thing happened this week. My companion and I were walking down the only populated street in Alcorcon and suddenly heard a lady say "'El tiene brutes!" (he has crazy person spasms) but neither one of us had ever heard the word "brutes" before, but from the context clues I was pretty sure it meant something along the crazy spasm lines because bro was staring at me with a bloody nose and the lady, who was trying to hold him bad, looked very terrified. He was like a foot away from me and I started to realize I was maybe about to get in a fight so I was winding up my Book of Mormon, but then decided to run away, fight or flight I guess. As I turned to run he tried to grab my shoulder and as he did I RAN fast and he started chasing me. I was way faster than that man so I lost him easily and all was well. It was insane, super random, and probably ended the best way possible cuz I didn't have to fight him or anything.
Love,
Elder Ditto
