This week has been full with miracles for Elder Arteaga and I. We are really working well here and the effort is starting to show. This last week we had an amazing day in the church, we had 9 investigators in the sacrament meeting, 5 of which have baptismal dates for the first few weeks of this next transfer. The area is doing well, there are plenty of very gospel ready people here who are on the brink of being baptized, I would like to highlight one of these amazing people I have grown to love and care for.
Sister Olga is an amazing woman who has been recieving missionaries for 17 years! She has a daughter in the mission and has definitely earned the title of "eternal investigator". Her fear was that she didnt want to be baptized only to fall away and become less active so she had to be absolutely sure before she made this decision that she would remain true and faithful until the end. Finally, after 17 years she came to Elder Arteaga and I saying that she knows the time is now, I dont know what we finally said that changed her heart, honestly I dont believe we really had that big of a part in anything. I know that this change was because she felt the spirit testify of our words as we explained to her that we live in the latter days and the day of our repentance is now. Since she had this prompting from the spirit the change I have seen in her has been life changing for me. She told her boyfriend that she needs to do this and gave him the choice, get married in 2 weeks, or get out! She will now be married and baptized the 13th of may!!!!!!
We have also had the chance to work with many other wonderful people this week, I dont have time to outline everyone but I hope over the following weeks they will keep progressing. Until Later, Elder Brown
