Week 89. Las Puentes, Mexico.

Week 89: Successful Week.

This week was so awesome! We were able to find an amazing family. This past Tuesday we were walking in the street and we contacting a woman named Monica. She didn't seem to be interested however she gave us her direction and told us that we could pass by some other day. So we passed by on Thursday and we talked to her father outside and asked if Monica was home and we heard her yell from inside that she was busy. However, we took advantage and we talked with her father who's name is Saul. A very humble and genuine man. He accepted to listen to us. Elder Santos and I felt an impression to sing a hymn for the hermano. We sang him a hymn and as we ended, the wife of Saul who's name is Juany came out and asked us who we were. We went on to present ourselves with her and she as well accepted to listen to our message. We sat down with them and 3 of their grandkids came out and listened to us as well. We shared the restoration with them and the spirit was so strong, Elder Santos and I could see in their eyes that they knew that what we were teaching was true. While we were ending the lesson, Juany commented to us that one her grandkids was very sick. Elder Santos and I offered to give the child a blessing. They said that they would love it so they invited us into their house. As we entered we realized that they have a really big family! Their were around 9 people in the house and we explained to everyone about priesthood blessings and than we gave a blessing to the child and after the blessing there was a spirit that was almost tangible. Sunday rolls around and Saul, Juany, and the 3 grandkids show up to church! I was so excited to see them come to church, what a big blessing! We than taught them The Plan of Salvation and once again, we could see in their eyes that they knew what we were teaching was true. This family reminds me a lot of the verse that says, " And ye are called to bring to pass the gathering of mine elect; for mine elect hear my voice and harden not their heart." Many people have been prepared by the Lord to listen to his voice and hear the message of The Restoration. I love this family and I love this work. Please pray for this family that they will continue progressing! I hope that you all have a great week! Oh and Elder Santos completed a year last week.

Love, Elder Gibson
