Thanks for Sunday everyone!! That was super fun. I dont have a lot of time and i just wanted to write you the story of Nelys who got baptized this last weekend.
I already wrote about this first part but here is the whole conversion. Nelys is from Honduras and just got here to Spain like 2 months ago. She left her 5 kids in Honduras in hopes to find a better life here. She moved in with her friend Aida who´s a member. She immediately started coming to church with Aida and knew she needed to start a new life with God. After coming to church for about a month we were finally able to have a visit with her. We met with her and gave her a Book of Mormon. The next visit she stood us up because she had an interview for a job offer. We called her the next day (Tuesday) but she didn´t answer. So we called Aida and asked her how she was doing. She said, "Elders good news! Nelys wants to get baptized! We´re thinking about her getting baptized this weekend!" We kinda sat there on the phone in shock for a couple seconds and then finally said, "alright! But we´re going to have to teach her everything before Saturday!" We met with her the next day (wednesday) and we asked her why she wants to get baptized. She said that she´s never been baptized and it´s something she knows she has to do. Then she shared with us a dream that she had. In the dream she was at home on a Sunday and she knew she had to go to church. Elder Garces and I pulled up to the house in a big van and started calling for her. We were telling her to come down and to come to church with us. She was surprised that we would come and care for her enough to pick her up and take her with us. She said she felt good and happy and got in the car and came to church with us. After she woke up she decided that that was a sign from God and that she needed to get baptized. We taught her all that we could but she still wasn´t ready for that weekend. We kept teaching her through the next week and she was completely ready to be baptized. On Thursday she had her interview and then on Saturday she got baptized. Nelys was a miracle and was so prepared by God.
Love you fam. Have a good week!
Elder Reeves
