First story: we are teaching a 17year old boy named Elmer. He has had a strong desire to follow the way of the Lord, and has been investigating the church for a long time, but has never been baptized. We have been teaching him this week, as we were talking about a simple topic in the gospel i had a strong feeling to ask him to be baptized, so i stopped where i was and asked! guess what he said? No! He said he didn't feel ready and was kinda scared. So we comforted him and let him know that sometime change is scary and when a feeling like that happens, it means he needs to pray to be prepared and ready. we started to explain to him that with baptism he will be cleaned and born again! We testified and know that the spirit had touched his heart in that moment. What's great is that he came to understand, not by words, but by the feeling he had and he said yes! Now that he has had his answer, he is more excited than ever! He felt the spirit and that's what opened his heart! Not our words or examples, but the spirit of truth that testified to him! It was an amazing experience! He is very excited to better his life and follow Chirst!
Second story (funny one): my comp and i went into a back ally one night, just to see what was there. We could barely see that there was a field with a wall about chest high all the way around it. We turned around to look at the houses and as we turned back around my comp screamed sooooooo loud, there was a guy that just appeared out of now were in the field on the other side of the wall. He said, "what do you want?" in a really deep voice and we were like, "ummmm nothing just looking at the nice field!" hahaha the funny thing was that it was pitch black dark outside and you couldn't even see the field!! we ran away like little girls! it was Hilarious, i have never heard a man scream like my comp did that night! haha good times!
