Chavales! God is accelerating His work here in Alcorconcito. I shall tell y'alls a crazy story:
mas o menos 6 months ago: Elder Moyle and Elder Thayer got ice cream with the Young Adults (18-36 yr old members of the church, in Spanish the abbreviation is JA) and invited a lady on the bench to eat with them.
6 months ago-3 months ago: the lady came to activities from our church but kept going to her church, she had callings and is/was very strong and faithful to Jesus Christ in her other church. She was not at all interested in meeting with us or reading the Book of Mormon.
2 months ago: Elder Farnsworth and I had 30 minutes one day to do contacts on our phones, we went outside to do them (ALWAYS gotta do that stuff outside cuz that's where the miracles are at my bois) and sat on a nice bench. Ten minutes later a Venezuelan dude walked up to us and said "Elders, I am inactive and want to come back to church, can you guys help me?" So we said, "For sure my boy!"
Still 2 months later: we have a branch party and both the Lady and the dude mentioned above come, and dance together.
Still 2 months later: the dude invites the lady to church, she comes, she loves it, we teach her, and every single time we felt the spirit together, she started STUDYING the Book of Mormon along with the bible and her testimony grows even bigger about Jesus and his teachings/church.
2 days ago, the dude baptizes the lady.
Insane!!!!
The work of God shall prevail tios, I have no doubts.
Here's a sad story, a lit family from Peru told us they don't want us to come to their abode and share the good news with them anymore. The mom is an inactive member from a looong time ago and she has two sons, they are lit, we played kendama together, taught them, and even gave the mom a blessing of health and it literally healed her. But ya, one day those niños will see missionaries and talk to them hopefully.
We bought a Christmas tree today, and our water heater broke earlier this week, so we heated up water on the stove and showered with that. Felt like my boi rench.
Love, Elder Ditto
