Dear Family,
This Tuesday we had a first lesson with with a family! La Familia Medina. Cool story as to how we found them. We were visiting some investigators and heard someone singing, very loudly. We asked who was singing, and they told us their neighbor loved to sing and did it a lot. Dear Elder Wolf had to investigate this person so off we went! We introduced ourselves and talked with him a little bit. We asked if we could return and share a message with his family and he accepted. This was a few weeks ago. Tuesday we shared a brief part of the plan of salvation and invited them to read it. Now this is the awesome part. We came back this Saturday for the second lesson. They had read the whole pamphlet as a family! The lesson was awesome; one of the daughters remembered and recited almost the whole lesson. I was a bit stunned. The family loved the message about God´s plan for us. That day the Dad was super interested in the doctrine of the spirit world. He told us he wants to learn more about it when we come back! It was wonderful to see a family that God has prepared to received his gospel. We could see that although this family knew nothing of the gospel, they understand the importance of the family and are already living many of the Lord´s teaching´s in their home. Honestly, it felt no different from my own home. I know the family is something sacred, something ordained of God. Multiple times this week I´ve thought about two things that really brings us happiness. One is the Family; the other is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These two combined bring us the greatest happiness that we can get here on earth. It´s just like it says in The Proclamation to the world, The Family. Happiness in family life is most likely to be achieved when founded upon the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my family, for the gospel, and for the chance to share both with others.
Hasta Luego!
Elder Call
