I guess I can tell you more about where I'm
at.... Here close to the capitol, San Salvador, it's a lot more Americanized and there
are a lot of people that work in call centers and talk in English. The
ward teaches a weekly English class and we invite a lot of people to go
there.
So this is one of the oldest wards in the country so there are
good members and there are a ton of less actives. We are working with
the member directory and are finding lots of people that got baptized
but never went back to church. That just shows the importance of the
members and friend shipping.
Elder Gaitan is great. We don't have a lot of common, but we always
get along and I am teaching him English. We sing English hymns as we
walk around.
Cool story. We are teaching this young man of 20
years and he was liking the message but wasn't getting his answer. We
testified and invited him to ask of God again and pay attention to how
he feels. I did it too, that night. I felt, without fail, the spirit
testify more about the love of Christ and how he called Joseph Smith be a
prophet. That day we went and taught him with the bishop (the bishop is
awesome by the way) and he described what he felt and it was exactly , exactly, what I felt the night before. That was the ticket for him and we are planning his baptism this Saturday! I love the gift of the holy ghost! It is so powerful and essential.
Pray for mission opportunities.
Love Elder Flake!
We are playing Basketball for pday today.
