Well, we had a great week! On the subject of listening to the Spirit, we had some great learning experiences this week. The other day we were walking down the street, when my new companion suddenly wanted to turn around and go knock some house that looked empty. I, reluctantly, agreed. When the lady answered the door, she didn't even give us a second to say who we were before inviting us inside. So we sat down with her, and she told us that she had just been praying that God guide her to the church that´s right for her. Interestingly, she´s been catholic, evangelical, and Jehovah´s witness, and visiting basically every other church that exists. But she never got baptized. Later, after teaching her the message of the restauracion, she told us that she wants to join the church. Just like that. And then we had a very similar experience about an hour later with a different door we knocked, except this man basically just invited us in to convince us that our church is evil. In the end he said in just the same way that he wants to join our church. But I don´t want you thinking that it´s always that easy. Those were our only two appointments that day. After getting doors slammed at just the sight of us, and having people tell us that we´re the devil´s servants, etc. etc, I can say that there´s a prominent contrast between when people are touched by the Spirit, and when they deny it. My companion is doing great. He´s been exhausted, understandably. I figure we´ll both be here for Christmas, which should be cool. I stopped playing tricks on him, because the doll started following me places. It might have just been my companion, but I threw it off the roof, just to be safe. It´s so hard to find time to write you this letter. It seems like I never have a free second anymore. But I will get it to you soon, along with the SD.
Much love,
Elder Alexander
I took my companion to the potato market last P-day. He literally whispered "this is so cool" about 15 times, under his breath. The last picture is of a hamburger from Cafe-cito, the best restaurant here. The shakes are the best in the world!
