AND FOR THE GOOD STUFF
so a while back we were walking through a park, and some random
dude stopped us and told us to go by his house. he looked old, and was
with his wife that looked old too. we thought he was drunk. we took his
address and asked him when we could come by.
i looked for his house one day, but didn't find it. didn't give it much
importance. then one day a member went with us to teach and just be a
missionary. that day he told us that he had talked with somebody that
lived close to where we were and asked if we wanted
to visit him. we were like ya buddy. lets go. well he took us to the
house of the dude and his wife. (what a small world) we started talking
to him, and everything. he got mad at us for not coming by so we made
another date to go by. the next day we go by and
he wasn't there. days latter the same thing. then one day when we had
nothing to do we went by, and he let us in. told us that he was having a
bad day, and really didn't want to let us in, but when we walked in he
felt more calm. that dad i invited him to a baptismal
service that night. he didn't go. but the next Saturday we didn't have
anything to do and stopped by his house again. they received us really
well, and told us that we got there in just the right time again. we
talked a little to them and invited them to church
the next day. he committed to go. in church we were waiting and waiting,
and nothing. toward the end of the sacrament meeting he showes up with
his wife. (his wife is 8 1/2 months pregnant) YAAAAA BUDDY. then at the
end of sacrament he finds a long lost friend.
EVERYTHING WAS GOING GOOD. then we go to the class and talk about
prayer. he helped out and gave his opinion. then we get to priesthood.
the class was on religion. the teacher is a returned missionary and is a
way cool guy. i call him PO from kung fu panda
because it looks exactly like him, and they are just the same. so PO is
giving the class (real name is Aldo) and starts talking about what is
religion. well we get to a point where we are talking about baptism and
how we need one to enter into the kingdom of
god. everything was way sick. it was a way sick lesson, then he came to a
pause. nobody talked. . . . . . . then he, the teacher, kung fu panda,
popped the question. he asked the investigator ``WILL YOU FOLLOW THE
EXAMPLE OF JESUS CHRIST AND BE BAPTIED BY SOMEONE
THAT HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DO SO?´´ i went a little nuts in that moment
cause it was so cool. the dude stands up and is like. i will tell you
one thing I'M CATHOLIC. i was like noooooooooooooooo, but then he went
on. ``but i don't even go to my church, and look
at me now I'm here, and i love it. and if you love something you have to
be a part of it right?´´ everybody said yes of course then he said ya
ill get baptised. in the middle of the class the elders quorum pres. set a
baptismal date for Hermano Jorge Peralta.
one of the coolest experiences that has happened in my mission. now
we the missionaries have to work hard with him and get him in the
watter.
love you all
have a good week.
