Hola a todos,
Wow it seems like everyone is just coming to Spain!! I cant wait for you all to see how amazing Spain is. Its pretty much the greatest place on earth. When do you come Greg and Brittany?? Mom and dad where did President Taylor serve in when he was here? And what cities are you going to go see? It definitely feels weird that you are on a plane right now on your way here. But when you land... WELCOME TO THE PROMISED LAND! Oh and i heard that Christian Taylor is going to play ball for BYU? Is that true? And i cant believe that Evan Finlay is already done with his mission... crazy! Alright i have a pretty amazing miracle experience to share with you all:
We were going to meet with Dayo, our ancient investigator who before didnt even want to talk to us but we always saw him and he finally decided to call us and ask to meet with us on saturday. We went to go meet him at the university and we sat down and talked to him for about 5 minutes but he still didnt want anything and he just ended up leaving. Elder Pericle and i just kind of sat there on the bench we were on for a min thinking about what had just happened and what we were going to do. Then this guy walked passed us and we said hello to him and he said hi back and kept walking. But then he stopped and walked back to us and said, "sorry to bother you but do you two represent a church?" We said yes and asked him to sit down with us and we´d love to talk to him about the church. We got talking and we found out his name is Carlos from Brazil and he said he´s been looking for a church that has clear and simple doctrines of Jesus Christ. We promised him that he had found the church he had been looking for and that we have the true church of Jesus Christ. I felt like i needed to ask him about his family so i asked him if his family lives here in Lleida with him. He said he has 2 daughters who live in Portugal and the other in a pueblo called Mandressa. Then he shared with us how his first daughter had died at 3 months old and he has spent many nights not being able to sleep worrying about where she is. We talked about the plan of salvation with him and promised him he can be with his daughter again. After that, he shared how he had had a dream one time where he went to some plaza, he wasnt sure which one, and he sat down on a bench with people from a church and talked about the church of Jesus Christ. He told us that he felt like saturday was going to be the day, but he didnt know when or where. Then as he passed us he told us that he felt something telling him to go back and talk to us. We talked to him about the Spirit and how it leads and guides us to truth. Miracle after miracle. We gave him a pamphlet and a Book of Mormon. We werent able to meet with him yesterday but we´re going to try to see him tomorrow. I know the Spirit and angels prepare people to receive the true Gospel of Jesus Christ. And im sure Emily had a part in this experience. There are no coincidences. I know without a doubt this is the work of the Lord and this is His church. He always blesses us with more blessings than we ever deserve. I am honored to be His servant and to have Christ´s name over my heart every day. I love the gospel.
Next week is tranfers... i know, crazy. Elder Pericle is most likely gone because he´s been here for so long and im probably staying. I´ll let you know what happens. We have preparation day on tuesdays during transfer week so i´ll write on tuesday.
Loves.
Elder Reeves
