Also, this is Carlos (nickname Bico). He`s 12, and he`s the cutest thing
ever. We took him and his siblings to have a family night with Angel
and his family, and I`m not even kidding you when I say that Bico and
his 14 year old brother Kevin taught the entire lesson. Our goal was to
help Jairo, Angel´s son, become more excited about being baptized, so we
went with Bico, who is the same age so that he could share his
experience about his baptism. We were teaching at first, and we invited
them to share their testimonies, which they did, but then they kept
going and taught everything and I`m not even kidding when I say that me
and Hermana Flores cried. The Spirit was so strong and testified
especially of the words of this 12 year old angel of a boy. Bico shared
scripture stories and articles of faith, and explained everything
without having his scriptures with them, he just already knew. It was
even more awesome, because all the sons attend church alone, their mom
has strong resentments and hasn`t attended in years, but Bico got
baptized when he was ten and Kevin two weeks ago, and they are so presh.
Everything they know, they know because the 4 brothers have studied the
scriptures on their own and with their aunt and uncle (Lina is their
aunt) and have gone to church on their own without their mama. Their
family is my favorite, they show so much love for our investigators and
always want to come teach with us (which we can`t do because two
missionaries that always with teenage boys is not great). They prayed
for Jairo to help him make the decision to be baptized, but he decided
no. We don`t really know why he doesn`t want to, he won`t tell us and we
have done every possible thing to help him, but the good thing is that
he is going to keep attending chuch with his dad, and I know that one
day whatever doubt he has with be resolved and he´ll be baptized.
I`m going to just send photos, because I don`t really have much to say
and because I don`t want another foto deleting disaster to suceder otra
vez.
I don`t know if I already sent this photo, but I absolutely love all
these ladies. If I go to BYU when I get back, the blonde princess on the
far right might be my roommate. We`re actually already friends on
facebook, Hermana Scott.
Me and my compy and my zone leaders. I`ve decided that I get along well
with Colombians, all the ones I`ve met are pretty swell. Elder Garzon
on the far right goes home today, we already had our last hurrah as a
zone. I bought the cake. Cake is super cheap here.
I don`t know what else to tell y´all. I really was certain I was
going to have cambios, I even started organizing my suitcases... But I`m
happy, because I adore my companion.
All is well!
Share the gospel please! Help the missionaries out, it`s really not fun knocking on doors haha.
