Fam,
This has been such an incredible week.
Elder Bourne and I have
been praying not just to find and teach people but also to baptize
people. We realized that God wants us to do this and if we have
righteous desires He will help us.
So
last Saturday we had a lesson with Andre. We set a date with him! He is
awesome. He really wants to get baptized. We set a goal on when he
wanted to be done smoking and he said I can do this. He is incredible.
He used to be on super hard drugs but he realized that it was bad and
wants to change and BE CLEAN. Well good thing we have baptism and the
Atonement! :)
Wednesday
was an incredible day. I got to go on exchanges with one of my best
friends on the mission (Elder Elkins). And the spirit was incredible all
day. We
were looking people up and talking to people and we got a little lost
and a lot of kinda weird stuff happened but we found out why it
happened. We ran into ilona. We talked to her on the street and we
walked to her house with her and taught her a Restoration and set a date
with her. And at the beginning of the lesson we were just talking about
how God loves her and she started crying and telling us how she had had
a hard week. And then we came. :) It was one of the best experiences of
my mission. And I got to share it with a dear friend. She said the
closing prayer in Hungaries or her language and we both started to tear
up. The spirit was so incredible! And she is eating up the gospel. We
taught her the second lesson and she told us it just made sense. She is
from Hungry. I love her so much. God is good. :) We were also just
finding people and taught some more lessons.
The
next day we went up to Groningen and I got to work with Elder Woltjen!
We had an incredible day. We went to go look up a lady and just
contacted int he area and set up 5 or 6 appointments for the next Thursday. Then we went to this lady and she let us in. She was a former
investigator from a long time ago but we taught her the Restoration. But
before we started she said. Boys I have to tell you something.
Yesterday I was sitting right where you were and she pointed and me. And
I was thinking and I got down on my knees and asked God to never let go
of me. she said. Laat me nooit loos. And them she said and now you are
here. the very next day. And we told her that God had answered her
prayers and she wants all of her family to get baptized. :) Now she just
needs to come to church and I think that was her problem before. But
with God nothing is impossible.
God
loves us. He cares about us. He knows what we need. He knows how to
comfort us. And I have experienced all these things. And I have felt a
little how God feels for us. I have felt His love for other people. And
it is one of the best experiences I have had on my mission. To feel the
love of God for His children and to know that He loves me just as much!
Prayer is real! God will answer if we trust in Him! It may not be the
way we expect but He will answer! I love you all so much!!
Ik hou van jullie!
Elder Bosco
