A Miracle

11/30/20
Things are going well. Transfers are next week. I’m still in Brawley, but my time may be short here. It would be cool to go to another area, but I’m content here. Its nice having a native companion, my Spanish is getting ok now.

It's been freezing here! Like it gets in the 30's during the night! Burr and then biking in that! My hands get cold. Things are happening; we've been finding new people to teach.

Yesterday we had a miracle. We went out in the morning to work. To try and change things up, maybe catch people at home. That didn't work; almost no one was home, haha. But it was about 11:30 and we knocked on the door of a potential investigator. This potential had been street contacted about 2 weeks ago. We had gone by before to contact her. She said come by after the holidays (thanksgiving). We went by to see her, and an older man opened the door. We start talking he asks us from which church we're from, we responded and he said. Oh! I’m baptized in that church. Come in! We came in, and then waited in his living room all awkward for like 5 minutes. We had wondered where he went. Then he comes out with his baptismal certificates and his Aaronic priesthood certificate. Turns out he got baptized in Mexicali in 2006. The man is 81 years old, but super super healthy and strong. He's read the book of Mormon twice. He's lived here in Brawley for 4 years, but never been by the church. Anyways, he's coming back to church and it's a miracle, cause there are only 2 worthy priesthood holders here in Brawley :-0

The church is true, the Holy Spirit is real. God is waiting to bless us according to our obedience. If I’ve learned one thing on my mission. It's that wickedness isn't happiness!! The world is really messed up! Especially Brawley! haha, God loves them just as much as he loves us :)
