Week 2 in Aruba,
Well this week was a good week lesson wise if i do say myself. We had a pretty interesting experience with a new investigator that we came across this week. It so happens that on of our members works really close to the beautiful beaches here in Aruba and he so some kid that was trying to camp out on the beach getting kicked off so he being the good guy he is went over to see if he could help out i guess. I guess the situation was this, the kid named, Nicolas from Canada, was trying to camp out on the beach because he got all his money stolen while he was staying at some hotel here. But then he was informed that its illgal to camp on the beach during this time of the year, so Miguel, the member, offered the kid that he could stay at his house and find a job so that he could start working to get some money back that he had stolen.... Yeah pretty crazy if you ask me. Anyway the story goes on that we stoped by Miguels house that night to visit him, and we meet this Nicolas guy from Canada who speaks English and French but cant really communicate with miguel because miguel just speaks spanish and papiamento. Yeah pretty funny to watch them communicate but they get along good enough with had signals and broken up sentences. So anyway as we were there we found out more about this Nicolas kid and we found out that he came down here just searching for something in his life... So we happily let him know that running into us is what you were looking for but he wasnt to sure about that. He actualy told us he doesnt really believe in God but believes in some supreme being which was very interesting. So what Elder Browning and i decided to do was take a Ammon missionary angel at it and teach him that this supreme being is God and he has a plan for us here on this earth and after this life also. He actualy took to it very well also and liked the idea of the BOM and was very open to listen to us. So we'll have to wait and see how it goes this upcoming week when we see him again.
In other news Louisa was able to come to church this week which is always a good big step for investigators to take. We were stoked to see her there and she told us after ward that she is going to keep on testing it out which is a good thing.
Other than that we had some really good lunch citas with the members which is always fun and filling! In our Branch this past sunday we had 125 people in church which is awesome! Definately the highest its been on my mission so far. It was great to see the chapel full!
So yeah as you can see the mission in a Aruba is going great!
Until next time,
Elder Lopez
