This past week was a good week and ended with a small miracle. We have been doing a lot of good work and receiving a lot of help from members in our work. This week will be the baptismal interview of 2 of our investigators. We're excited that we'll be having a baptism in our area. It's also cool because one of them is a girl and 19 years old and has a strong desire to serve a mission. The other has a strong desire to talk with he boyfriend and help him understand our message so they can get married in the temple. She also wants her siblings to listen too but they don't have as much as a desire as she does. There are only a few things in life as sweet and as beautiful as seeing investigators exercising faith in Christ and progressing towards baptism and exaltation. The small miracle that occurred was on Sunday our investigator that's a born and raised baptist attended our church! She hasn't accepted our baptismal invite because she's baptist and doesn't see why were different even after the restoration. It's awesome that she attended our church because the baptist church is literally right next to the Mormon church and starts and finishes at the same time as ours. She really enjoyed it and is well known by the members here.
We also visited the 7th day adventist compound and visited with their Elder/leader and their relatives there. Boy are they good at self-interpretation. They know how to explain that mud really looks like a rainbow but in terms of scripture. We also taught another one of their members and she's not very versed in the bible. She's only 18 but she asked questions that required the heart-piercing truth. She seemed cool about it though. Our members present were pretty bold and quite overbearing but I think she handled it well.
Elder Nepote's finally going home and my time is going down. I still enjoy and love my time here and I hope all continues to go well for you all.
Love,
Elder Brown
