Redemption for Jose

Hola!

No time! Two stories:

We met a guy named Jose who gave us his address so that we could go and teach him, but turns out he lied to us and gave us a fake address. Next thing we knew, though, he came up to us one day and said sorry for lying, and he gave us his real address. Turns out he doesn’t like giving his address to other people because he’s super poor. But, he was riding by us on his scooter, and he felt bad for lying, and he totally turned around to talk with us. We eventually taught him and his wife, and it went really well.

Today, we were riding on the bus, and this super super sad girl got on the bus with a ton of bags. We helped her with her bags and stuff, and she sat down next to us. My comp started to ask her questions, and we got to know her a little bit. Turns out her boyfriend took off and left her to fend for herself. So we told her what we do as missionaries, and we told her that God loves her and that he had put us in her path to help her. The only Book of Mormon I had on me was one that I was personally studying, but I felt like I should give it to her, so I did. I explained to her that it would give her the comfort and direction that she was looking for. It was a really spiritual experience. We wrote down her contactos, and we’re gonna send them to other missionaries so that she can receive the help that she needs.

Bueno, sorry, this was super quick, love you all, have a great week!
