Elder Matthew Robertson : Week 17 - I'm really starting to love Spanish!

This week has been great! But, for a different reason than most. We have had 11 new investigators. Elder Moody and I have been praying to see what this area needs. We decided that it was a clean slate. We realized none of our old investigators were progressing and decided to drop them. A bit of a rash decision kind of but it's what the Lord wanted.

We then set out to see who the Lord would lead us to. We found a great family of a woman named Desiree. She has two little 8 year old twins who say they want to be "bapatized". She accepted a baptismal invitation after the first lesson. I've never felt the spirit so strongly then in that lesson. My body was literally on fire. It was super cool. We had our ward mission leader there. His name is Rey. He is Mexican and doesn't speak English. He's been working on learning English over the past little while. Desiree doesn't speak any spanish. So in the lesson Rey bore his testimony in English.. While it was somewhat broken and a little hard to understand with his thick accent, the spirit was tan tan tan fuerte. It was increible a ver este.

I'm really starting to love Spanish! It's starting to make more sense than English sometimes actually. Elder Moody actually told me that the other night I was talking in my sleep and it was all in spanish. Kinda weird haha. But something that happened that was kind of sad is that one of our new investigators got anti-ed a little bit. She went on the internet and read some weird things about the church. It was kind of sad because you could tell that satan had kinda gotten to her. But we just encouraged her to read and pray for herself and all the answers would come like that.

I miss y'all tons!

Love,

Elder Robertson
