So this week was just another very tiring one. On wednesday we had to deal with transfers and that was just a mess. I don´t know why the missionaries can´t just meet up with each other and travel together. It is something that I will just never understand. It´s alright though.. Everyone got to saint louis safely and we are just rockin it up here. This week we had quite a miracle happen... Let me just tell you about it: So Elder Huntington and I are teaching a couple named Mariela and Wilson. Mariela has been a member for the past 5 years and Wilson knows nothing about religion. For the past 3 years she has been asking him if they could go to a church and he has just ignored her saying that they will go someday. A few weeks ago she asked him again and he said they could go to whichever one she wanted... Obviously they chose the true one. The first sunday they came, Wilson didn´t know a single thing about what was going on, but after the meetings we got his address and on Tuesday we passed by. He absolutely loved the first lesson and he accepted a baptismal date right then. The second time we went by we taught them the Plan of Salvation and he said that he wanted to get baptized as soon as possible. Then the hard part came in. We had to teach them the Law of Chastity... Come to find out, she doesn´t want to marry him because she is giving him the famous ¨second chance¨ and waiting for the change. What a bummer huh?? But wait, don´t get too down because we believe in a God of miracles and He will never let us down. We were sitting in Elders Quorum with Wilson and before the class started he leaned over to us and began telling us that after we had left Saturday night they both sat down and started talking about their futures. Almost instantely she told him that she wanted to get married to him so that they could go through the Temple!!! He had no idea what the temple was, but he was still way stoked to know that he could get married. After explaining a little bit of the temple with him on Sunday he got all sorts of excited and now we are working on their marriage papers so that he can get baptized at the end of this month!!
That´s about all the good news I got for this week. I love this Gospel with all my heart. It is the greatest blessing that I could have in my life. I know that God is a God of miracles and I know that He loves me!
