Elder Rodriguez and I worked very hard to find new people to teach this week. We found a young man. He is 19 years old. He just got back from serving his military service time here in Colombia. I learned something new today. I guess everyone who was born in Colombia has to serve time in either the military, or the police force. It's required as a citizen living here. He started his service at the age of 17! We shared the Book of Mormon with him and that caught his attention right away. He told us, "Por Fin!" (Finally!) He's been looking for religion since he got back from his service, and he loves to read in the Book of Mormon. I'm hoping that one day he'll go on a mission.
We also had a very cool experience this Thursday with one of our investigators. His name is Andres Campos. He is 30 years old. He's been investigating that church for about 2 months now. Something super cool is that he goes to institute classes here. He loves to learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He read the Book of Mormon and told us that he knows it's true, but that he doesn't want to make the decision to get baptized because he wants to know everything before he makes the decision. My brain immediately thought of Alma 32. We gave him that chapter as some studying to do that night. This week we were able to meet up with Andres. He had read the chapter and told us that verse 21 answered his question. This verse tells us that faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things. After sharing the story in this chapter of continually growing his "seed" (testimony) he made the decision right then and there to get baptized. We have a date set for him the 14th of July. I'm so excited for him!
The Book of Mormon can answer so many of the questions that you have, I know it`s true!
Love you all
Elder Horton
