Good morning yall!
This week has been absolute bonkers with exchanges and zone
conference and other meetings so it wasn't really until yesterday that I got to
work with Elder O in my area.
This week was great though and I love working with so many
different missionaries.
So Elder Challis and I are biking 30 minutes up and down
these hills to get to a lesson we have. It's 96 degrees but feels like 105, and
it's 94% humidity. I don't remember if I have ever sweat such a large amount
sweat in such a short amount of time.
On the way, the GPS took us through this random apartment
complex which makes absolutely no sense. But we ended up biking through it
anyway and passed by a lady unloading stuff from her car. We started helping
her and she was like "my goodness, how did I deserve these 2 angels
today!! God is good!". Turns out she just moved here and is looking for a
church. Perfect, we can help with that.
Then we make it to our lesson and our man Milton is an
absolute legend. We gets us both some Gatorades and bananas and tells us
profusely that we better drink it all cause we have more people to talk and
bike to than just him today. He's a legend. This is the first lesson. He starts
telling us we are his sons and that his door is always open. Day or night.
After talking with him he opens up and tells us "I've done enough wrong in
my life. I know I need to turn to the Lord, I know I need to do it now, but I
don't know how." We discuss with him the gospel of Jesus Christ and invite
him to be baptized the beginning of next month. He said "Absolutely"
and it was like you could see the Spirit touch him. He got so emotional and
happy. Please keep Milton in your prayers!
Have a blessed week!
