Now excuse the title, I did not ride the horse, that would be disobedient. But my favorite bolito in Leon robbed one of the thousands of stray horses here and rode it through the streets so happy, whipping it trying to get it to run, but it wouldn't. But he was yelling victory cheers and looking like the most accomplished man this side of the Mississippi.
About my new comp, Elder Rush, he is a stud. We have been motivating each other to get better and work harder and we are seeing a ton of miracles and getting stuff done!! He is from Utah and played football and rugby, he is short and strong and fast, a true muscle hamster. We get along famously.
One of the families we are teaching and will be baptizing shortly had a son that got sick and what not, so the mom asked us to visit her and bless her son in the hospital. We went and the lady that shared the room with them had a little 5 month baby that was also sick so we gave the baby a blessing too. Upon finishing the blessing we realized the mom was crying and we found out that 2 days later she was packing her bag and dressing the baby because he had a miraculous recovery and was being discharged, she told us that and that this week she was going to come to church with us. After the blessings we left to go get food for our investigator, we entered the hospital with food when the cutest old Grandma called us over and found out we were from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She told us that she has been a faithful member for 45 years (she is like 90 years old) and now she is sick and needs a blessing and she wants it now!! So in the lobby of the emergency room in Leon we gave that little Grandma a blessing. Afterward she thanked us and told us we were angels sent to her by God. It was such a sweet experience.
All three of those people have been discharged from the hospital as of today!! Yay for the power of God and healing!!
And Friday night we got a call from a long time investigator that he wanted to be baptized Saturday, so we baptized Freddy!!! He is a super humble man and has a strong testimony of the church and we are very pumped for him and his decision to make such a sacred covenant!!
We told him we would have to go to the other side of Leon to be baptized and he said he didn't care, he'd go to heaven or hell to be baptized!! So coool!!
Due to the work and heat, I don't think I have sweat more in my life than in Leon. I am seriously so hot!! Not even football daily doubles touches the amount of heat here!! Luckily the water is clean here and I am PARASITE FREE (for now). So normal bodily functions for the time being!!
Love you all very much we are seeing the hand of the Lord in our labors every day, this has been definitely a top 5 week of the mission!!
Love Elder Morrison
