Following The Example Of Jesus Christ!
Hey guys!
Elder Johnson and I had a great week. We found a lot of new
investigators this week and have received many references from members and we
are working really great right now.
One cool experience we had this week was with an inspired contact. Elder Johnson and I were heading to an appointment and talking about how much more effective it is to receive references from members and following the divine guidance of the Spirit than anything else when a guy stopped us on our way down the hill to say hi to us. So we stopped and talked to him for a little about him personally and about what we do as missionaries and how our message could bless him in his life. He listened and accepted that we come back to teach him. The next night we went over to his house and taught him and his girlfriend about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As we explained about the process of repentance and about the Savior's Atonement, the Spirit was strongly present. We explained how the Spirit testifies of truth and the need to follow the example of Jesus Christ and how through baptism we can be washed clean of sin and mistakes and then invited them to follow His example and be baptized. They both accepted and are very excited to be able to follow through with the Savior's teachings. We plan to marry them this week and have their baptisms on Saturday! The zone is doing really great and we re all seeing a lot of success! Now we just gotta keep up with all of them to make sure we do even better!

Cool story! This morning we got up at 4:50 am to go hike this huge mountain
in our area with two other Elders to see the sunrise. So we were hiking and
basically bear crawling the mountain because it was so steep. But it was cool.
When we saw the mountain we climbed when the sun came up, we were surprised because it was basically just a vertical climb all the way up. So being that we
were on a very steep hill, we were already "past the point of no return" so we
had to keep climbing up to be able to get down. As we were approaching the
bigger mountain right next to us, we found witches up there with us. Crazy! I
don't have too much time to tell that whole story so if you're interested ask me
about it when you see me again. So, we get past the witches and take pictures of
the sunrise and go to the very highest tip-pity top point of the mountain and
offer a prayer (because the tops of mountains are basically like temples and
it's just cool like that) and head back down to go play soccer with the zone.
Yay! Fun!
But yeah, we are doing great and I hope you all are too! Oh yeah,
Happy Belated Birthday to my faddah unit! He turned a grand 51 years old on
March 20th which makes me also realize that I turn 21 this year... man, I'm
gonna get old fast. Anyway, have a great week! Love you all!
¡Ten fe y se obediente!
Todo mi amor,
Elder San Diego
Beautiful Sunrise!
