Como Estan???? Todas los cosas en la CCM es muy
bien!!! (How are you? Everything in the MTC is very good!) Still
learning a lot, still stuck in a classroom for 9 hours a day! Only 19
days left till I go to Mexico!!!!!!!!!! I seriously can't wait. People
here are going crazy..... I have guys in my District, who are
literally hugging buildings just cause they're 'warm'..... I might be
next..... Haha
We're moving up to Main Campus on the 22nd, thats going
to be even worse than here. At least at West, me and my companion have a
whole apartment to ourselves! 3 bedrooms-2 bathrooms-Kitchen-and a
living room! We also have a stream running right in front of our
house!
We got a new investigator - she's a Catholic from Cambodia. You
have no idea how difficult it was to explain to her that her church
didn't have the correct keys of the Priesthood. I was doing
well, understanding most of what she was saying. We were talking about
the Priesthood (as part of the Restoration) and then she said something
(I totally forgot what she said now) and I was moved by the Spirit to
tell her that they don't have the keys of the Priesthood and basically
that their Priesthood was invalid. Wow. She started talking super fast
in Spanish!!!! She was using words I didn't understand, and speaking so fast
that it all sounded like one word..... The gist of what I got was that
she heard of a story of a pastor back in Cambodia, and how he healed a
man who couldn't walk. She asked me to explain that. (Any
suggestions?)
I told her that Heavenly Father rewards
those who have great faith with miracles. I didn't know how to exactly
explain it...... But what I did tell her is how the Priesthood worked
in my life. Both me and my companion testified of times, of how the Priesthood blessed our lives. I told about how my mother, is a very
strong women, and nothing can keep her down, not even sickness. But how
one day, all of a sudden she was so sick that she couldn't even get out
of bed. She asked for a Priesthood blessing, and asked me to give it
to her. I then described about how within a few hours she was up and
moving about, and the sickness had totally gone away. The Spirit was
incredibly strong when we both were testifying.
We had run out of time
and had to leave, but before we left we told her that the Book of Mormon is proof of everything we say. That if she would read it, and
then pray with real intent, sincerely asking God if it was true, and if
what we were saying was true, then she would receive an answer of the
truth, through the Holy Spirit. She agreed to read the Book of Mormon,
and pray about it. We meet with her again tomorow, so we'll see how
everything goes! Love all you guys! Miss you all! Tell me whats up???
Siempre Fuerte,
Elder David Pettingill
