This week we preached like the prophets of old!
During each day of this week, our zone leaders sent us messages of things that we needed to complete. For example, on Friday our activity was to go to the freeways here, and get onto the buses that take people through out all of Bogota. We were told to preach the gospel to the people in this area. Elder Rodriguez and I decided to get into the buses and start preaching to these people. I was like what the heck are you talking about. Sure enough, he got out his Book of Mormon, put it in his hand, raised it high in the air and this man started preaching to like 30 people sitting down in this bus. The first couple of tries we didn't get a lot of people that wanted to listen. Continuing to each bus we finally got to a bus a people that wanted to listen to what we had to say. It was great, Elder Rodriguez got people interested and wanting to learn more, and even asking questions. He then turned to me and said, "Your turn". I was so scared, I don't think I've ever been more scared to talk in my life! I then thought about a scripture that I read in D&C 24:12. The scripture states that we are to in "all times, and in all places, he shall open his mouth and declare my gospel as with the voice of a trump, both day and night. And I will give unto him strength such is not known among men." After that I just opened my mouth and started talking. I was able to feel that promised strength from the Lord as I testified of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. We were able to hand out 2 Books of Mormon, a dozen pamphlets, and about 100 contacting cards in like 30 mins! We literally handed out everything we had! Next time we're going in prepared haha! The work of the Lord is real. I know that this is his kingdom on the earth in these last days.
Love you all!
Elder Horton
