¿Qué Tal, Bolivia?: Happy Birthday Kyle Boy!!

You are so old....

What did you do for your birthday?! It is weird having a birthday on the mission, huh? But enjoy it, because you will never forget this day.

How was everyone`s week?! I cannot believe that it is September........ it freaks me out. Time moves by so fast.

We had a great week this week!
We have been working really hard with an investigator named Mijail. He is 22 years old, and is so nice. We found him while knocking doors, and invited him to come to church and have another lesson. He agreed! But the lesson was in the next week, and we were afraid that he would forget. BUT HE DIDNT! And the next Sunday, he magically showed up at church! So we taught him again this week about the Book of Mormon and felt impressed to invite him to be baptized onOctober 2. My companion was just about to invite him, when he had to leave the room for a minute. Then she told me it was my turn. So, when he came back, I invited him to be baptized, and he was totally zoning out and everying! Shoot! But we were not going to let the feeling go, so I invited him one more time, and he said "OF COURSE". We were shocked..... He came to church and everything, and his now progressing. We were thinking about that lesson, and realized that if we hadnt been persistent and follow the promptings of the Spirit, we would never have invited him. Satan was working so hard for him not to hear that invitation! It was a cool experience. I am excited to see how he progresses.

Other than that, we are still working with a less active named Aldo Quisbert who was struggling to be able to feel the impressions of the Spirit. He knew logically that the church was true, but that wasnt enough. This week, after reading countless talks that we have been reading from Bednar about conversion, he told us that he finally is feeling again. He said it felt like is 2nd conversion. I almost cried in that lesson. It is amazing to see the power of the Spirit in people`s lives. A testimony isnt enough. We have to feel it and live it. And that is what he was lacking. How cool is it to be able to see the change in people`s lives?!
