We met with Rosario and her family again and had an terrific experience with them.  We found out some of her concerns and were able to address them right then and there.  We had another confirmation with her where the Spirit confirmed that this is what she needs to do.  We then had her and her daughter pray and then look at a calendar and see what dates stood out to them.  It was a very powerful experience.  We left them with the commitment to talk to each other and pray and come to a conclusion to when they should be baptized.  I am looking forward to seeing what happens.

We were able to meet with someone we haven't been able to see since I got here.  His name is Jose and he has come to he point where he wants to change, so he is meeting with us, but at the same time he doesn't want to do anything.  We will see how it turns out. We will just love him and try to help him progress and change. 

We also met with an inactive youth who is 19.  He called us and wanted us to come by.  It was a nice little visit.  His name is Kevin. As we were sitting with him, listening I remember looking at him and not seeing him as he was dressed then, but rather as a missionary.  It was weird.  The thought came to share it with him. At first I was a bit hesitant, but then I decided to go ahead and share it anyway.  I did and a very sweet spirit entered the room in more force.  It was a great visit and he is a great kid.

We have had some fun times with Jack, our Police friend.  He takes really good care of us.  He is a self declared dry Mormon.  He is one of the most charitable guys I know and he loves us.  He is awesome.

It truly is a great blessing to be a part of this wonderful work.  To invite people as a representative of Jesus Christ to come unto Him is truly a miraculous thing to witness and be a part of.

I know that truly we have a loving, merciful Savior, who wants us to come unto him.  He wants to forgive us of our sins and shortcomings and wants us to feel his love and the peace that comes from trusting him.  I know that this is his church, that all who truly desire to follow him will come closer to him through his church and his teachings than by any other way.  I leave these things with all of you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
