Guess What...That's What
Just another week of teaching and finding new people to teach. I really wish we could commit some people to baptism! I swear we always get so close and then there is just one little thing in the way or they don´t want to make that kind of commitment. Sometimes our investigators just don´t understand how important the decision is. And although I try my hardest to help them realize, sometimes it just doesn´t sink in. Don´t worry though. I´ll be reporting a baptismal date here soon. Our investigator Vicente is doing great. He has a lot of ideas but we are helping him see THE TRUTH. He really likes what we are teaching and he said he just needs to pray to know it is true. He said that himself and we didn´t have to ask him so thats always a plus! He also said something that strengthened my testimony of the power of the Spirit. At the end of a lesson last week, I told him the next time we would be bringing a member. I then explained its nice to have members present because sometimes they are more experienced with different situations and they also speak the language better. Then he said "The language doesn´t matter. Its what I can see in your eyes and feel in my heart when you are here in my house that matters." I thought that was really neat! It gave me a testimony that the language barrier really isn´t anything at all. I may not speak perfectly yet, but that doesn´t matter because the Spirit can teach a million times better than I ever could. The weather is starting to cool down here in Barcelona and I´m extremely grateful! Its been pretty cloudy and there has been a light raing here and there. I love that kind of weather. I can´t believe fall is starting! I remember last fall I was starting my mission papers and now here I am. Time flies. Sorry I don´t have much to report but it was just one of those weeks. I want each of you to know that I pray for you everyday and I´m always appreciative of your support and love. You mean the world to me. Talk to you next week! Love, Elder Langston
