Well this week we saw some great things happened and it was a great blessing --but one of my favorites is about our investigator Sami. She is from Honduras and her husband is a member of 14 years and he´s super great and they have two kids that are 5 and 3. So this women Sami is super good, she knows everything and sometimes I just feel like she´s teaching us. We had one day planned to teach the Plan of Salvation and we asked her what she knew about it and she told us everything perfectly. It was incredible, we asked her, "how did you know all that," and she asks us, "well don´t you remember giving me the pamphlet?" So that was our first lesson with her. The next we had challenged her to read the Book of Mormon because we know that was what she was missing. So she said she would every morning ... so for our next visit we came back and before we even asked her she just says,¨I´ve read the Book of Mormon every morning!¨Just so excited, it was so great, then we were like, "wow tell us about it" so she recited everything to us perfectly. Then we were kind of like hmm... should we continue and teach lesson 3 now or what... then she asks us if we could all read together so we read another chapter with her and her husband and it was so great. We tied it into lesson 3 and invited her to baptism.. She said "yes," but she doesn´t feel prepared enough yet... So she has these great desires but doesn´t feel ready. Still such a miracle though just to see someone who truly is prepared, just needs the push.
I´m loving Elder Cabanas and things are going well. He´s a great missionary and the people all love him, partially because he speaks the language, that´s what I always tell him to kid, but I always tell him how impressed I am that he connects with all the Rama so well. He´s just a great happy Elder. He´s got that special talent with people that not everyone has. He connects with people I couldn´t and that´s how I know we needed to be together at this time in the mission. Aside from that I finished the Book of Mormon on the 2nd and just wow, the power that comes from it. There is no way to deny that book. Every ounce of it is so true. After finishing it and praying about it I just felt spiritually enlightened. Now I am reading Doctrine and Covenants and have all ready come across many interesting things. It just proves how true and real our God and Savior are. One thing I loved was D&C 38:30, we just can´t have any fear because we need to be prepared for our Lord. I love that.
Well, Mom, there's no where to eat here. No, no, no place like Walmart to grocery shop or anything...just like corner stations like gas stations. Nobody at all feeds us here. I eat a lot of chips and salsa from the gas station because I use all my money for travel. Tomorrow I will be going to France because a little pueblo in my area is on the border. Today I am going to see the ancient city with the Elders...I am super excited. The packages I got from you Mom are the greatest thing ever...I mean the greatest ever...every letter makes me so happy...I love hearing from everyone it is sooo neat. The Christmas tree is just wow.
I love you all and hope you have a great week! I miss everyone!
Love Elder Matthews
