Hey everyone! I dont have a lot to share this week but I do want to share an experience that I had that was really special. We have an investigator named Mario and his story is pretty amazing. Mario is from a part of Mexico called Sinaloa. He has had a pretty difficult life. One day when we were at church, we left the chapel to lock up and Mario was outside sitting. From that moment we met him and we started to teach him. The amazing thing about Mario is that he doesnt have a home and sadly he lives in the street. He doesnt have a watch, nothing. But, he allows arrives on time and keeps his committments. Mario had some problems that he had to fix and President came to interview him and he is going to be baptized the 4th of May! I want to share an experience that we had with him. We decided to teach him the lesson of the Restoration. My companion and I have put a goal to only use the Book of Mormon in our lessons and we taught it. We were in the room where the bautismal font is and we had it open when we were teaching. We taught and after I recited the first vision of Joseph Smith, we could feel the spirit very strong. It was as if a giant barrier of peace came over us. I asked Mario if he could feel the spirit and we all realized that we could. He said that he felt peace and as if everything was ok in the world. It was a small experience but for me it meant everything for me. I love when we are in a lesson and we are able to help others feel the spirit. I think that is so important. Mario is truly an answer to our prayers. It is interesting how God mends the lives of his children. I know he loves us and that this is his work.
