Aug. 11, 2013

Hey guys. My companion had changes. But everything is alright because i have been blessed to recieve such a great companion. His name is Elder Moran. He is from El Salvador and has 4 months in the mission. He is a super hard worker. These last four days we have seen so many miracles. This investigator that we were teaching didn't want to go to church becuase he's smoking marijuana and his girlfriend kicked him out of the house and won't let him see his daughter so he was just torn a part. so for those reasons he didn't want to make any commitments because he was afraid of making a mistake afterwards. But we had the most amazing lesson. We had something else planned but i felt strongly that we had to talk about the atonement. So we changed the topic. And i know that that was what we had to teach because the spirit was so strong in that lesson. And my companion shared such a great scripture with him. And then we both felt like we needed to challenge him to be baptized for the 31st so we did it and he accepted!!! THen even though he told us at the start of the lesson he wasn't going to pray he offered the closing prayer. And during the prayer the spirit was so strong that we all started to cry. 
I testify that the Holy Ghost can comfort anyone. I know that he is going to get baptized now because of the spirtual comfirmation that he's had. And this is my favorite part of the mission. 
THis next saterday we're going to have 3 baptisms and the saterday after that he will get baptized. I love this area so much. And i hope that i will be able to stay here for 2 changes with Elder Moran because he's seriously the best. 
Thank you guys so much for your love your examples and your support. I am so grateful to have such a great family and friends. I love you all so much.
