Mobster to Mormon


It was so great to talk to you guys yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for hurrying home to be able to skype with me:)  You all look great :) 

I feel like I pretty much covered all the basics of the week yesterday. So, there aren´t really a ton of stories to tell.

The music show for the rama turned out really good. We had a couple of investigators come and they had a really great time :) They needed a few more people to perform and a guy in our rama brought this cool violin with a lion head... so, I obviously couldn´t pass up the opportunity the play it! haha, my camera died! So I didn´t get a picture of it :/  I just played a little fiddle song that was like 30 seconds long, no mas, and since then, everyone that we have visited has pulled out their phone to show us their recording. haha! So maybe you will get to see it on Facebook.

Julio is a CHAMP. He stopped smoking and drinking, is cruising right along living the gospel and being a missionary while he´s at it! Yesterday he brought a friend to church with him :) 

This last week we had a charla with Julio about Alma the Younger and his experiencia with repentance. I LOVE that in the Book of Mormon there are so many examples of the love God and Jesus Christ have for us. Alma the Younger was among the VILEST of sinners and received forgiveness. The Atonement is something that I don´t think we will ever really understand exactly, but I know that people can change because of it. I know that it´s possible to be better people. I know that it´s possible to be happier people- through Jesus Christ. It´s been so cool to see Julio change his life and become happy!

It´s such a blessing that we don´t have to be the same people for the rest of our lives. We don´t have to keep making the same mistakes. I´m so grateful for that!  

Pray for Julio!

Mucho amor!
