BROCATION??? Oh man i´m so sad to miss it. Where is it going to be this year? Who´s all going to be going? The next brocation will have to wait until the summer when I get back! Eh, that makes me sick thinking how fast this is going. I cant believe that was already a year ago since we went to Zion´s. Eat a lot of candy and enjoy smelling like campfire for me!! You´ll for sure have to send me the pics.
Tuesday was transfers! Elder Hadley left to go to Zaragoza (my old zone) for his last transfer and Elder Keeler is the new AYUDANTE!! He´s from Texas and has been out for about a year and 4 months. He´s so good. Also Elder Fica from my district in Provo came to the office! He´s going to replace Elder Hastings and be the new President´s secretary. It´s fun being back together.
This last sunday we went and visited this investigator named Jorge that we met in the house of our other investigator Jonathan. He´s also from Ecuador and has a family of 4 kids. He´s believes a lot in his religion but he´s super open to listening to what we have to say. We were talking about the Book of Mormon and the importance of it and how our families can be blessed from the gospel. The 2 times we´ve taught him he´s tried to make up answers about how every church is the same and everyone will be saved. As we were teaching him, we were trying to ask him heaven-sent questions that would touch his heart. Then we asked him, "what do you think God requires of us to become eternal families?" He made up some answer, kind of stumbling over his words, then finally said, "No lo sé" We testified of eternal families and how only through the ordinances of the gospel we can be eternal families. We know that he felt the Spirit and that he knew the importance of the gospel. We then invited him to come to the family night in the church the next day and he said, "yeah maybe i´ll come." I really didnt have much faith that he would show up, but then... he came. He loved it and said he wants to keep coming. I know that the heaven-sent questions that we seek from the Spirit can and will touch the hearts of our investigators to help them grow in their desires to receive the blessings of the gospel.
We´ve finally set a fecha for the 24th with Jonathan!! We met with him after church on sunday and set up a conversion plan with him. He´s so excited to keep learning and to keep progressing for his baptism. Thank you so much for your prayers fam, i know they´ve helped Jonathan progress and have more desires to receive the blessings of baptism. He´s so prepared and I know he´ll keep progressing and he´ll be baptised on the 24th.
I have the best family in the world. My love for each of you increases every day and I miss you all like crazy. Keep being the greatest family ever. Loves
Elder Reeves
