First off, I must say that I am ashamed of myself. I felt like a doubting Thomas last night, and I felt like I got a spiritual slap in the face. So yesterday we to visit some people with a member from the ward. The visits that we had planned fell through, but we were able to find other people to teach. This member´s family isn´t baptized and has already been taught by the missionaries twice, but when we returned our member to her house, Elder Alvarez asked the mom and her boyfriend if we could share a message with them. I didn´t have too much hope in the message, but I thought I´d give it a shot. We taught the restoration and they agreed to come to church and to read the Book of Mormon. The mom gave the closing prayer, and as she was praying she began to cry. The Spirit was so strong; I wanted to spiritually defenestrate something.
Our next lesson was with a kid whose whole family is baptized except for him. He´d also been taught by missionaries before, including me, but my companion was determined to set a baptismal date with him. We arrived, shared a lesson on the atonement and then my companion sets a baptismal date. I felt like a doubting Thomas at the end of the day, but now I´m excited for the coming weeks.
Three of our investigators came to church yesterday! One is this awesome garota that been reading the Book of Mormon almost everyday, and she says that she feels that it´s true. She´ll be baptized at the end of the month.
In the coming weeks, we are going to accomplish things that no other missionary has ever accomplished!
That´s all the miracles I have for this week.
Love,
Elder Short
