Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the father: Ye shall have eternal life. -2 Nephi 31:20

Lleida week 5 - Prayerful Frank

Hola todos,

Mom and dad how does it feel to have that homecoming done?? im sure
you two did amazing like always. Did you have it recorded or typed up
or something? Because i would love to hear it. if not its totally
fine. And thanks for sending that card. Sorry i forgot to email you
the address last week but im glad you sent it to the office because
that will be easiest. That was such a good story about finding your
passports. Heavenly Father always hears our prayers and never forgets
to answer them. But theyre always in His time and His way. He
definitely has been hearing our prayers here in Lleida. We´ve had 5
people at church for the last 3 weeks in a row and we´re seeing tons
of miracles each day. Its insane.
Frank from Nigeria is doing so good. We see him almost every day and
this week we taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Word of
Wisdom, and the Law of Chastity. He struggles with the Law of
Chastity but has completely stopped smoking. He came to church
yesterday and loved it. He said he felt welcomed and everyone was
friendly to him. We had a miracle with him this past week on
Wednesday. We went to go teach him and we aksed him if he had prayed
to know if this was the true church and that the Book of Mormon is the
word of God. He said he hadnt so we invited him to pray right then
during the lesson to ask. We kneeled down and he began to pray. The
whole time he was praying, I was just praying and praying that he
would feel the Spirit and get an answer. He literally poured out his
whole soul asking for an answer. I definitely felt the Spirit and I
was hoping he would. He finished the prayer and we were just kind of
silent for a little bit and then we asked him how he felt and he said
that he felt a ton of peace and happiness. We told him that this was
the Spirit testifying to him that the church is true and that he needs
to get baptized. He said he knew it was the Spirit and is progressing
more and more each day towards his baptism on the 24th. I love Frank.

We will be having a baptism this weekend with Danny! He is from
Colombia and has been being taught for almost a year. He has had like
5 different dates to get baptized but now he finally is doing it. He
is way excited and ready. Also on saturday we get transfer calls... i
dont know how i´ve already been here in the field for a whole
transfer. We´re pretty sure that Elder Pericle and i will stay
together just because of the new training program but you never know.
So i´ll let you know next week. Chao!

Love, Elder Reeves
