Ada and an investigator with smoking/drinking problems went over to the Ward Mission Leader´s house for a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone FHE party. Manuel (Mission Leader), his wife, and his sister-in-law were all there and we had a very spiritual lesson about the plan of Salvation. I think, by teaching investigators in serious need of love, I´ve gotten to know the atonement and the Jesus´ love for us every time more stronger. That made the lesson powerful. After the lesson, we asked what sort of favors we could do for everyone, and Manuel´s sister-in-law told us we could come over and give her a visit, just like her Home Teachers would do because (ahem) they hadn´t come over in a while. NOTE: Do your home teaching.
So we went over to Yolanda´s and we talked about family history, which was yet ANOTHER powerful lesson. And afterwords she told us that we understood the gospel really well and she wanted our help because the Jehovah´s witnesses visit her and she got confused. After a quick grin, we replied, "Sure!" She said, "Now they´re my friends from something-or-other and I don´t want any contention, and I just want you to help them understand that they´re wrong." So a referral from a member!! to do what hopefully won´t end as a debate, cause THAT don´t go nowhere.
Awesome joke Mateo told me:
The mission age has been changed to 16 - why? Because they already know everything and Moms are less likely to cry at farewells.
We had another really cool experience this week with Angel. But it´ll have to wait ´cause we got a surprise eating appointment right now, so more info later. I never know how to close my emails, because my testimony is always the same and I´m always healthy and happy (some days more than others). Life is good and Ecuadorians are the only people in Spain who can find Peanut Butter.
Love,
Elder Stew.
