Elder Jesse. Aug 11 2014

Padiuxi Thanks for getting that package out. I am already learning more

Spanish and zapoteco. It's crazy because it's old Spanish and the

spellings weren't canonized yet. It uses Latin in random places so

it's good that I know Latin too. I learned that the zapoteco people were

very similar to the degrading society of the Nephites. Human

sacrifices and everything. Crazy. Anyways. On a happier note. I got to

baptize a convert from Camden yesterday. Woo!  I didn't know he was

going to ask me to do it and he called on Thursday while we were

planning so that was sweet. Um the man from last week did not keep the

appointment so sad for him but while we were on the way to his house I

ran into people from Camden that were stopping by for only five

minutes in Bridgeton. Little things that mean a lot.

We taught a man named Rome. (Jerome) and taught him the restoration one

day and explained that everything rested on the Book of Mormon. He was

atheist but studied the bible a lot. The next time we taught about the

Book of Mormon and how Christ can command the molecules. The next time

we really laid out the plan of salvation from beginning to end. We

explained that God was like us once. And that we were intelligences.

And he eventually came to the conclusion that he would be full bred

Mormon or else he would take  the world with atheism. I like that.

I feel like people need to understand how white and black it is. Other

side note, I bought brown shoes for six dollars. And I sewed part of my

pants. Elder minnich sewed another part or should I say he darned

them? I learned what darning means ; to mend by sewing. Haha I got to

see my boy two more times because we had zone conference and then the

baptism. His Spanish is improving. I don't know what else I should

say. But I know this is where we should be in this church and that if

you don't know or have forgotten why, It's because you do not pray to

know if it is true. Also you  do not sincerely seek to humble yourself and

repent according to the answer that you receive. Read 2 nephi 32. And

then you might feel a bit humbled and want to ask again. And you will

receive an answer.
