I turned 6 months today! I am officially a fourth done with my mission. How sad is that? It has been flying by. I can't believe it. It seems like every email I am finishing another month. But I am really glad to be here.
We had a super awesome lesson a few nights ago. So, context: we had contacted a street a few days earlier. A family had just pulled up and were getting out of their car. I gave them a card and explained that families can be together forever. They said we could come by a few days later. So we did. The guy, Oscar, said he believes in a superior being but not necessarily God, and especially not a Christian view of God. But his wife, Itzil, is a Catholic, so basically she's never read the bible, and doesn't really know what she believes in. We taught that God is our loving Father in Heaven, and a little bit about the Plan of Salvation, how our message helps families in this life and in the life to come.
They explained that they had a falling-out with the Catholic church because they weren't married by the church, only civilly, so they couldn't baptize their baby girl. We explained about Baptism and that little children are alive in Christ and don't need to be baptized. We extended the invitation to them, and she said "Yes, if I receive a confirmation that your church is true", and he said "Same, but I want to know more." I can't believe the complete change he made. I am super excited to keep teaching the Trejo Family. It is just one of the many tender mercies I have seen this week.
The church is true. I am doing well. We are going to play soccer in an hour, then we are going to go eat with an investigating family, then more appointments. I am really happy. Life is good. I really hope that you all have a great, safe week.
Love,
Grant
P.S. Oh and I did get a hair-cut. Thanks Elder Jimenez and Elder Asencio.
With Giovanni, 17, preparing for his mission. We went to visit families with him. He is cool.
