Hey yall! Hope everyone had a good week. This week was great! This Pday we went to Palo Duro canyon which was a blast. We also had Zone Conference this week so seeing President and Sister Child again was super good.
So we made huge huge improvements with our friend Melvyn. He's super awesome. We had a lesson where he almost dropped us, because he felt that he "wouldn't make a very good mormon" because he sometimes has coffee and some alcohol. We testified of the blessings and happiness and healing that he would have from the restored gospel. We also read the verse in 2 Nephi that talks about how ALL are welcome in Christ. It's so amazing how Christ denies no one who comes to him. We then were really bold and asked him if he was going to give all that up for some cups of coffee and some alcohol. He thought about it, then said he would pray and we could come back the next day.
We went back the next day, and he tells us that he knows he needs to be baptized! So we he's on date for January 7th, and he is SO EXCITED. His whole countenance has changed. He is so much happier, he came to church and he goes to members houses, and it seems like his whole life is turning around. He also read 21 chapters of The Book of Mormon in one night. Keep praying for Mel!
We're also working with a man named Joe and a woman named Viviana. They're both great people, but we're hoping we can get them to turn a corner here soon. Other than that we're working hard to find some new people here. It's difficult but nothings impossible. Love yall! Have a great week!
Love, Elder Ryan
