This week was an inspiration to me! We´ve been working with a family so that they could receive an answer to know if the Book of Mormon is true. The two kids believed in the Book of Mormon, but for the mother, who waited 10 years to be baptized in the Adventist church, she didn´t accept it so readily. We went back this week to share scriptures and explain what we knew while bearing testimony. She said that she couldn´t accept it and that she needed time and us to go away for a bit. She said she wasn´t sure if she was ready. In that moment my companion opened to Alma 7:15. He asked her to read. After she ended she thought and exclaimed that she knew this to be true because she had already read "that book" 10 times from front to back. She thought she was reading the Bible...we replied with happy faces that she just said that she believed in the book of Mormon now!!The Spirit entered the room with a great force. She saw what had just happened and in a humble voice she responded that she now knew this book was true. We burned with the spirit afterwards and she agreed to be baptized this Sunday (yesterday) with her two daughters!
I have seen the rewards for being completely obedient. John 15:4-5
Two nights ago we were walking home and we took a path which we usually don´t take. We found a man who´d fallen straight on his forehead on the sidewalk and was bleeding pretty bad. He was drunk and could barely walk, but we helped him to sit on the curb and got help from others passing by since it was already close to the time we needed to be home. They took care of him, but it was nice to be used as an instrument in the Lord´s hands for the well being of his children.
I love you all,
Elder Padilla
