Well i just realized about this time last year i would of been celebrating a championship still and getting to graduate from High School... It feels like that was just yesterday. Now i just look at how much has happend this past year and im just amazed. Here i am on an island speaking in spanish to others about the Gospel and how it can change there lifes.
This past week our investigator Andres was released from that hospital and even came to church on sunday. It was really good to see him there. Then to make it all even better, he opened up during our gospel doctorins class and practicly bore his testimony. The lesson was on faith which is always a great subject for anyone to hear. Faith is key in the church and thats why its the 1st principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We started talking about how faith is belief with out sight but with a firm conviction of a reality. We talked about how the Spirit can comfort us and confirm our Faith in the Lord and His work. Then Andres shared his thoughts about how the Spirit has touched him the past little bit as us missionary´s have been teaching him and walking with him every moring( Yes we get up every morning at like 540 to go walking with him at 6). He told everyone that as we go walking with him in the moring he feels as if he´s surrounded by a light which makes him feel bigger and better. He then went on to say how we have helped him to strengthen his faith. It was really a humbling experience to hear that come from some one else. It reminded me of how important of a job it is to be a representive of the Lord at all times in all place´s so that all can feel that same feeling Andres felt from the spirit. The lesson ended very well and i was so happy to hear Andres speak in the class and not just sit in the corner all quite. As of right now he´s progressing but still we have to help him get over this drinking problem that he has. To see if we can help a little bit more were trying to find someone in the ward that might be able to talk with him about how they quite drinking and to give him some support with quiting. Andres really is a great guy, and its tough to see how an addiction can hurt someones life so bad but still be hard for them to give up.
Anyway were working hard with him and praying for the best results.
Thank you all for your prayers and support! Keep on keepin on!
With Love,
Elder Lopez
