Oct 24, 2016 - Miracle of the man who found the word of God in a trash can

Road work project

Hola Familia y amigos!!!!

So this week also went by super fast!!!  Elder Merino and I, we're finding a ton of people ready to listen to the gospel!  I don't remember if I already told you guys about the guy who found a Book of Mormon in a trash can? Well, this homeless guy finds us in the street, and starts talking to us about how he found this book in the trash, and how he read all of it in a month.  He wants to know if it really is true, cause in his words "there's no way that it can't be true".

 

Well, he came to church one week, then we lost contact with him cause he lost his phone..... Then he came to church again yesterday!  This time, he had taken a bath and he didn't smell like dumpster and liquor store put together!!!!   This guy is making a ton of changes in his life, and all thanks to the power of the Book of Mormon!!!!  There is no doubt that this book is truly from God!  It has the power to bring Man unto the True God of Abraham and Issac!  If you have not received your testimony of the divinity of this book, it is time to search.  It is time to read, to meditate over the message that it carries, and to ask God!  Then if you do this, as the prophets have promised, you will receive your answer through the power of the Holy Ghost. That is my testimony, that this book is true.  

Also this week we were helping out in making a dirt road for an inactive member!  We were bringing dirt from a huge hole, to the road!  Then we had a great American style BBQ after!  Brought back a lot of nostalgia, but it was great!

Love you guys a ton!
