Hola familia,
I dont have time this week to write because its the week right before transfers and i probably wont have time next week either. But just wanted to share a quick story about Jonathan.
It was a sunday night almost 2 weeks ago, Elder Krasnoselsky and I were walking to go pass by someone´s piso and have a lesson with them. Luckily, Elder Krasnoseslky´s bowels said otherwise. We stopped at a KFC (we were praying that there would be no members there so as to not think that we were breaking the sabbath day). While waiting for my companion, I saw this kid sitting at a table waiting for his mom who was ordering food. I started to talk to him and his name is Jonathan, from Ecuador. He´s 16 and has lived here in Spain for most of his life. His dad also lives here but his parents are separated. He said he wants to go to the states and learn english so i told him that we teach english classes in our church! And they´re for FREE! He was super excited and said he would love to come. We got his info and told him we would call him. We called him that tuesday and he couldnt come to the class but we set up a visit for that thursday. We visited them and gave him a Book of Mormon. The next day we had another visit and he had read the intro and the first 3 chapters of Nephi. We asked him how he liked it and he said that while he was reading he kept wanting to read more. He explained the story of Nephi and his brothers almost word for word. Him and his mom came to church this last sunday and are progressing. We havent been able to set a fecha with him because his mom is pretty convincing and tells him that he needs to wait longer. He was a miracle and is so humble and so prepared. Pray for him and for his mom, Gina, that they can find the truth and have the desires to be baptized.
I love you fam. Hope you all have a good week.
Elder Reeves
