El Fin Se Acerca‏ (email dated 07/26/2010)

Buenas,

Well i pray that every one back home is having a wonderful week and that all are enjoying their summer break! I'm really not sure what i should say because i'm going to be able to tell you everything next week in person but i'll give it a shot anyway.

As for this past week we had a good find of a new investigator that really has a desire to find out the truth. She told us during our first visit that she had had a dream where Micheal the Arch Angel appeared to her and told her not to join any church because they all were going to be destroyed, and that only 1 was going to stand. (on the mission you hear of a lot of dreams peopl have...)So ever since then she's just been doing things the best she knows how, and now that she's started to listen to us she feels compelled to keep listening. We applied her dream pretty well to the message of the restoration and she's feeling that we showed up for a good reason. We gave her the book of Mormon to start reading to find out if the message is true and she already has read 1 Nefi completely. She says its really interesting and she just likes to sit down and read from it. She even came to church this past Sunday which i believe went well. We still haven't been able to talk with her since yesterday but i think she really liked it.

Also a good little connection that was there was that she is neighbores with Tom (who was baptized last week) which gave her a friend in the church. Tom was glad to see her there and during priesthood shared how he had been thinking about who he could invite to come to church this past week but decided that everyone is just to ignorant and wouldn't listen. Then when he showed up to church his neighbor Mariel was there and it strengthened his confidence in inviting others to come to church. Really things are just starting to get going here in San Nicolas.

Other then that we're just working hard and keeping up the faith and looking for the chosen to accept the gospel.Thanks for the love and the awesome letters and emails of support you all have given to me throughout my mission because every single one has been received with a smile and much gratefulness!

Thanks for everything and i pray for the best for you all!

Tell I see your next week,

Elder Lopez
