Woo hoo!!! I am staying in Progreso for another change with Elder Patterson!! We are super pumped that we have more time to work together and see the work in our area progress! We have found a lot of people who are really prepared for our message and we are way excited for them to keep progressing in the gospel.
One of our investigators names is Carlos. Carlos is about 45 years old and the first time we talked to him he told us that he has a horrible drug addiction. He has been in his addiction for over 20 years. So we explained a little about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how it can help him leave his addiction behind and start a new life. So we have been visiting him for about 3 and a half weeks now and he has come to church every Sunday since we first met him. So yesterday as we were talking with him he mentioned something that just blew my mind! He said, "Even the thought of doing drugs again just brings a sick feeling to my stomach. I am never going to go back to that life." It is so awesome how the Gospel and Jesus Christ change people. Carlos had an addiction that most people would have to go to rehab to get rid of, but just in a few weeks he was able to leave it and know that a spiritual high is so much better than any other kind of high. I know this gospel is true and that it really does change people. It has changed me. I know that through Jesus Christ we can be forgiven of our sins and that he is the only way we will be able to obtain eternal life.
I love you guys hope all of you have a fantastic week!
