We have two baptisms lined up for this week, Suhey and Jose. Suhey is a wonderful and tragic story. But through the gospel her life is turning around! She has had so many trials and continues having them, but she told us the most sincere testimony of the Book of Mormon. She said of how when things get a little too stressful, sad or depressed she says she just feels a comfort and strength from it!! I love the power of the Book of Mormon. It truly just brings in the spirit of Christ into our lives.
We have been teaching Jorge Luis, a young man of 22 years, and he is an alcoholic, we have been working with him and he was clean for a week. Then he got drunk one night and got tossed in jail. That was a bummer. He is probably one of my best friends. We met him when my old comp tried to pick a fight with him because he was bothering us. Now we are trying to get him to turn his life around.
Truthfully I have learned a profound sense of gratitude on my mission for my wonderful life. When I see Jorge Luis, and think of how blessed I have been, it just gives me the biggest desire to serve and help him so he has a normal life, not a life of addiction and sin and sadness. Luckily for the love of our Heavenly Father he has sent His Son, gave us His gospel, and has given us the Book of Mormon that teaches us of His Son and His Gospel.
Love you guys so much,
Stay Sweet, Love Elder Morrison
