Week 58 - Curacao

Hello Everyone! 

We had a great week with lots of fun experiences!

Melitza came to church which was great! They talked sooooo much about the BoM and she didnt have any idea what that was because we don't teach about it or read out of it until we teach the whole Restoration. It took her a LOT of lessons to get through the Resto but the next lesson we have for her is about the BoM! She is VERY excited to receive one now! So cute! We love melitza. She made lots of new friends at church which was super awesome! 

We also taught someone named Jurick about the first part of the Restoration and i have never ever seen anyone understand it and accept it so fast. He is seriously amazing and has a very cute family consisting of his wife and 2 year old daughter. Unfortunately for us he is going out of town soon for two weeks and we already can barely see him once a week, sometimes once every two weeks! Hoping he remembers his experiences!

We taught Etson again but this time it was about the Book of Mormon and he was so excited about it! He cant really see, so he is really hoping his family will read to him. His little grandson came and sat on his lap during the lesson and he told him to say "E buki Di Mormon" and it was the cutest thing ever. He also told him he would read it with him! I was dying. Etson is awesome and believed that the Book Of Mormon was true right away. We cant wait to hear how his experience goes when he prays about it!

We taught Neco as well this week and he is just a little person of gold as well! So elect! He told us he wants us to teach his friend and he said he has been talking to a lot of people about us! We have barely taught this man anything but he just loves the feeling he gets during the lessons! He has  a LOT going on and he is sure his mom won't live much longer, but he just keeps saying how he needs to make more time for God. He met with us on Saturday and told us everything that went on that day and told us he is just sooo tired and has sooo much going on, and then after the lesson he said he felt so amazing. It was so cool. He is so cool! Jurick said he felt the same way as well! The spirit is doing its job people!!! 

 I think one of the most spiritual experiences was when we went to go and teach Jordan with Brother Aritza. It was a great lesson because Bro. Aritza really went in depth about the priesthood and Jordan has a very sound understanding of it. We have been working with Jordan for a long time and he has just been having the hardest time understanding the Restoration. The last lesson we had with him he seemed like he was finally getting it. We asked him about what he remembers about the Restoration when we got there and he was able to perfectly explain everything! It was amazing. Truly the spirit taught him all of those things. It was very nice to see all of our hard work show through! Now that he understands he can finally start to progress even more. I am so grateful for the restoration. Without it we would all be lost. Life wouldn't make any sense. I know the message of the Restoration is true!!

Lots of experiences for you all! I hope you all have a great week and read the scriptures! I will be starting another scripture challenge soon.. in just over a month. start preparing yourselves! :) 

Love and miss you all!
