Well this week was a week full of events with the Elders from Dorado having their house burn up. Yup you read that right, the Elders in our district had their house burn... no one sure in how it started still but while they were out working they got a phone call that their house was on fire. So they ran back thinking it was a joke be sure enough when they got there it was burnt... So the Zone leaders called us up and we headed over there to pick them up and have them stay at our apartment for the night. It was really a ironic thing that 2 missionaries of the Lord had their house burn. We had some fun joking around about it actualy that night but the next day was all business with helping them clean up everything and get it ready to be repared and painted again. Its a good thing here all the housed are made from cement and not wood because if not their house would have been gone... But through all the craziness we were still able to get some work for the Lord done. We had a great lesson with a man named David who we´ve been teaching for the past week or two.( he actualy likes to be taught in english which is sort of hard to do suprisingly because i´m so used to teaching in spanish)As fot the lesson though the spirit through out was amazing! We had just finished up the 2nd lesson with him and i could see what seemed like a vail be lifted from his eyes, and all his confusion about life and our purpose here on earth just left. He was so excited to have learned Gods plan for us here on earth that he pretty much asked us if he could be baptized so he could be saved with God and Christ again. I asked him how he felt after ward and he said that he felt so calm and just full of happiness like nothing could take him down at that moment. I testified to him in that moment that what he was feeling was the spirit testifying to him of the truthfulness of what we had just taught. We then asked him if he would start to prepare now to be baptized by someone holding the power and authority of God here on the earth and he excepted it. After the cita i felt like i was on cloud 9 and Elder Bown and i both just agreed that what we just experieced was a man prepared to hear the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. The 1st day we meet him i wouldn´t have thought he was a man prepared just from looks, but now about 2 weeks later from the 1st time we contacted him my whole perspective has changed. It was a definated testimony builder of how we need to give every one the opportunity to hear this message no matter the way they appear to us at first. What a great lesson it was! Now we just need to find him a new job so that we can stop him from working every sunday morning... but we´ll just take it one step at a time i guess.
Anyway it was a great week you could say. well i thing i´ll wrap it up with that...
so remember your all in my prayers and i love you a ton!
With Love Elder Lopez
