Mission Week 63, Sogamoso Week 16, "He Showed Us His Faith..."

I had one powerful lesson this week!

David Vega is one of our investigators that we have been teaching for a while now. He's 23 years old and a super cool guy. He's been coming to church and attending institute class. He's loved every second of it. This Saturday we had the make or break it lesson. We tried to focus the lesson on the gospel of Jesus Christ or BAPTISM. The one thing that touched David a lot is the gift of the Holy Ghost. He told us that here in the church that he has found more answers to his questions than an any other church he's attended. He wants to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost to be able to keep growing his knowledge and finding more answers to his questions. He has showed his faith as he is searching the scriptures diligently and praying or ACTING to find his answers. He has felt the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon as the Word of God and he wants to keep growing his faith.  We set the baptismal date for the 23rd of March and he accepted to be baptized on that date! He told us after the lesson that when we first knocked on his door he thought we were Jehovah Witnesses and he wasn't going to open the door, but he felt something tell him to open the door. He was looking for a lot of answers in his life during this time and he told us that he was so glad that he opened his door that day. That just went to show me the none of our efforts go wasted. There are people everywhere that need the light that the Gospel brings. Please go share it with someone!

Love you all!
