Querida Familia y amigos,
It has been a long week. We decided to focus our efforts on "finding" this week and we were out all day long some days just talking to people in the street. Within five minutes our first day of really making the effort to talk to 80 people in a day, we talked to Cuauhtemoc (Aztec name) and had a lesson with him in the street. He told us that he had been to a lot of churches looking for the truth. He said that a lot of people say that whatever is said about God is good but that he had to believe that since the ideas were often contradictory that some of them had to be right and others wrong. He was also disappointed because he felt like everyone interpreted the Bible in a different way. We committed him to read the restoration pamphlet that we had and to pray about the message. The Spirit was very strong and we have a lesson with him tomorrow.
Then yesterday after talking to a few people who did not speak Spanish we talked to our first Spanish-speaker, Francisco, who is from Obregon, Sonora, Mexico. He said that seven years ago the missionaries in Mexico taught his sister and that he had a friend who was a member who always talked to him about the gospel. He said he had never read The Book of Mormon before so we had a lesson with him right there at the bus stop and left him with a copy of The Book of Mormon to read. His bus came by twice in the time that we were talking but he didn't even flinch to try to get on because the Spirit was so strongly present. He asked why Jesus was baptized at 29/30 and alsmost all churches baptize younger than that. It was a fair question and I can say that no one had every really asked me that but I am so thankful for the Spirit that guided us to scriptures in the Book of Mormon to answer his question. I love being a missionary. I know the message is true. Jesus Christ is our Savior. I love you all!
Con amor,
Hermana Kinghorn
