its good to hear that pop is okay. what does pop believe about god and the purpose of life? ask him for me.
we where knocking doors and we found this lady sule, she has 22 years or something like that and it kind of reminds me of your storry. she prayed and got an answer but hasnt been to church yet. we always comit to baptism on the second visit and she didnt accept, but she very excited to read the book of mormon. maybee in 25 years shell write to her son thats on a misson about those two elders, gutierez and the weird name that began with an L. how long did you wait before you were baptised? i hope that when i bear my testimony people feel it. i keep thinking that it would be so easy for people just to feel the spirit, be converted and become great leaders in the church, but i take a long time to learn and change, every one else is the as well.
i cant beleive the olimpics are going to start again. when do the light the torch? a 41 year old in the olimpics? wow. im impressed. i want to see the triathlon. that would be cool. the king lamoni story is cool. i cant remember it its his conversion or his fathers, but amon asks him if he beleives in god, and he dosnt know what that means, so he asks the king if he beleives in the great spirit. when the king says yes he tells him that that is god. then 2 pages later, he subtly says that god is a perfect man. what a great missionary, starting with what the king king beleived, he smoothly worked in that the great spirit dosnt exist but a perfect man who is our father.
i love the people here. this lady fransisca who ive been teaching, i feel like she is my sister or my mom or somthing like that. she had an interveiw with the bishop to help her know what to do so she can get baptised. in the spanish bom, im in 3 nespi 9. ill finish in about a month.
