There is Hope

This week had some major ups and some major downs.  Mostly, the down was that not one person came to our doctrine class, nor did any of our investigators come to church.  However, there is progress underneath.

Iris is a young lady who went to conference and loved it.  She told us ahead of time that she wasn´t going to make it Sunday.  But we´re very excited for here.  We asked if she had read and prayed, and due to her detailed responses we could discern that she was doing both.  She then shared with us that she had previously been in San Pedro and that she spent all of her money trying to find a job.  After giving up, two missionaries found her and gave a tour of the church randomly.  She was "prayed for" by a member (they may have given her a blessing), and then before leaving, the member tells her, "don´t you worry young lady.  You´re going to find a job very soon."  She hadn´t mentioned anything to him about her situation.  When she got to Morazan the next day, she got a call which was a job offer.  She told us that when our member invited her to meet with us and mentioned the name of the church, that she said, "send them here!"  She said that she´s known that this is the true church since before we were visiting here, and that she really wants to get baptized.

We found man on the street contacting.  His name is Juan, and we put an appointment to visit with him.  We miraculously found him in his house and he told us something amazing.  "Two days before you guys found me, I was experiencing great desires to visit a church.  I´ve never stepped foot in a church in my life!  Then you talked to me, and I thought that was incredible."  We taught them (he and his wife) the Restoration.  They understood great and committed to go to church next week and read and pray.  He prayed on his knees at the end of the lesson and asked directly if our message was true.  They have a baptismal date for the 16th of November.

I feel like if I write more, now one will read it.  I love you all, and know that I´m working hard and not thinking about home... so stop writing me about how little time I have left!  haha.
