19 Nov 2012


Dear Family,                                                         19 Nov 2012

It’s been a great week.  Alvaro is doing well and progressing so quickly.  We're even thinking about moving his baptismal date to this Saturday.  He went to stake conference yesterday and loved it.  He said that the Jehovah’s Witnesses stopped by his house and told him that our church was deceiving but instead of getting confused and worried he bore his testimony and defended the church.  He is really great. 
Yesterday we had a really wonderful experience teaching Edelmira´s husband for the first time.  We taught the restoration and he was very attentive to every word we said.  When we repeated the 1st vision and explained how God had called a prophet again and restored his church we asked him how he felt about that.  He said, "It gives me hope knowing that there is a mediator between us and God, someone to tell us Gods will."  After inviting him to be baptized he said he wanted to read the Book of Mormon first and pray about it. Then he said, "I will tell you this.  I've been to a lot of churches my whole life.  But one time I heard some missionaries like you and when they shared their message I felt something different. It was like a burning sensation on my skin.  i never felt that anywhere else" 
The gospel is true.
