Elder Jeffrey Hurst: Week 46: Laredo

What a good week!!! Lots of miracles happened this week! It went by super fast. On Friday we knocked the door of a less active. I had tried by him many times before but he never was there or his mom said he didn't want to talk to us. But we knocked just the right time. It turns out that like an hour before we knocked they had been robbed and pretty much all their stuff was taken. He told us he didn't want to talk about god at that moment. We told him that this is when he needed god most. He started to cry and told us to come back on Saturday. So we did and had an awesome lesson with him. He is 20 but was baptized at 13. He hadn't been to church in a long time. He took a little detour in his life and made some bad choices. But he has already started to change and repent. He has abandoned his old life and is willing to start over. He came to church on Sunday as well. It was awesome to see him catch up with friends he had known when he was going to church.

Our investagor Maricruz came to part of sacament meeting as well!! That was awesome. But she also went to her catholic church. We are going to focus a lot with her this week on the Book of Mormon. We are going to help her know that it is true.

Alan got the Priesthood!! It was a nice suprise!! I was super happy for him. I'm seeing him change. We just have to help him keep doing the little things and feel comftorable at church.

We also had a surprise meeting with President Maluenda. We had it with all the branch Leadership as well. He told us that we are super close to becoming a stake we just have to focus on priesthood. So we are going to do that!!!

It was an aweomse week. I wish i could write everything that happened!! But have an awesome week!!!
