"We know not what lies ahead of us. We know not what the coming days will bring. We live in a world of uncertainty. But one thing we do know. Like the polar star in the heavens, regardless of what the future holds, there stands the Redeemer of the world, the Son of God, certain and sure as the anchor of our immortal lives. He is the rock of our salvation, our strength, our comfort, the very focus of our faith." - Gordon B. Hinckley

New Investigators!!!

This past week we found two new investigators. One of these is named Walter. He likes to talk much, is 22 years old, and knows much about the Bible though he says he doesn´t. He´s the young man that ran in front of us and asked us to visit and teach him. He is going to be baptized and I am going to make sure of it because any person with as many doubts as he has definitely will be prepared to eventually be baptized. 

On Wednesday we had interviews with President Baldwin. That night we also had a Noche de Hermanamiento (not quite sure what it is in English) {Brotherhood Night-I looked it up}at the family Cate, who lives out in the Boonies without lights. Some interesting things from this night were: 1- They were going to dedicate and bless the house and hermano Cesar Sotz pulled out his Missionary Manual! After a few years or so of being home from his mission he still carries it with him. I am going to do this after my mission. 2- Upon leaving we wanted to call Emmanuel to ask him to accompany us to another cita. Hermana Benavides asked Hermano Cesar, ´´Tiene su cellular contigo?´´ Cesar replied, ´´Sí pero no es con TIGO´´ (Tigo is a cellular company). Then President Xocop pulled out his phone and said that his was with Tigo. It was funny. 3- On the way back, and walking with the group, Hermana B fell twice so hermana Xocop sent Cesar to accompany us because he had a light in his cell phone. I asked him if he understands what the music he listens to says because he listens to music in English. Then he replied in English and we discovered, to our astonishment, that he speaks and understands English because he learned it on his mission. It really surprised us because we did not know all of this time. 

There was another night when we went to visit Juanito and found him with a walking stick raised in the air, at the door of an Evangelical Church, talking to the greeter. We interferred because we didn´t want him to hurt anyone, but he was upset because this church always has their music really loud. After the visit with Hermano Juanito, we returned and talked to the greeter and I wrote a nice note to the people who control the volume. We didn´t want any more problems with them and Hermano Juanito, who can´t sleep with the music.
