thursday morning we had personal study time, and i felt like i should pray to find something that would help one of our investigators named alonzo. well, after a little bit i came across Helaman 5:30 and it talks about the spirit and one way we can hear it. i thought eh im not sure who this is for but its for someone. later that day we had a lesson with an hermana Yury. and she asked how she could get an answer. in the moment i felt like this wasnt the time to share that scripture and i had no idea why, so i didnt. then. later that night we had a lesson with hermano Julio and his son decided to listen as well. hes 17 and wow. i was impressed he wanted to listen, after 10 mins or so he started participating. and asking questions. in that moment i saw something in his eyes, literally a light, he asked about baptism cuz his dad is wanting to be baptized as well, we explained it. then he shared a very personal experience with us. and i was about to cry, for the first time here in the field, i almost lost it. in that moment i felt to share that scripture, a few words that stood out to me, and to him was "perfect softness" thats how the spirit speaks, with a perfect softness. and ill tell ya what ive never been so touched by the spirit and felt gods love so strongly. it was amazing, we asked him to close with a prayer. and when he finished him, his dad, his grandma, and us were just filled with love, i had a gallon of tears in my eyes. but they didnt come out surprisingly.
anyways this week was awesome. 2 interchanges so that was crazy!! were just living it up before elder salas leaves this next change!! working hard, learnig, and spreading the gospel. sure love you all!! i dont think ill be able to write next week cuz ill be skyping my fam but i love ya!! catch ya in a few and merry CHRISTMAS!!!!
