The road sign at the entrance of our area says "El Viejo, Land of Jesus Christ". Obviously this place was chosen before the foundation of the world for some prime time reaping and harvesting. Our week coasted as we plowed through each and everyday looking for families and trying our best to testify of the Savior so the stubborn ones would accept going to church. Before we begin, Happy 23rd to my older but not eldest Sister, the late great Madison Campbell Withers (CAKE DAY!). Been there since Day 1! I'll see you on the escalator in SLC! Also, the Old man and woman Campbell are hitting 28 AÑOS married this coming 2nd of March. WOOHOO!
Monday night took us to the house of Jairo and Maritza, our future eternal family, for a little family home evening. We played our flour game and it was a ball! Be on the lookout for their baptism fotos in the next 2 weeks! (Just a few more bumps and dents to buffer out)
We jump forward in time to Friday due to only the amount of hard work put in Tuesday-Thursday! Our service project to animate a lady to get baptized failed in the morning on Friday and we went about with a member named Kevin separating wheats from tares. Our adventures took us to the house of Reynaldo, an eternal investigator who had quite the spiritual experience. After our lesson the week before about the Great Apostasy and having the humility to ask God if this was the truth, he turmoiled for a full week, time and time again on his knees, searching for that answer. Just like our dear friend Peter of old, Reynaldo received his answer, not from flesh or blood, but from a source from on high. The Spirit filled the room as he told us his experience. The water will be ready for this coming Saturday! God lives and answers humble prayers of faith.
Saturday, we were called to a Nica farm in Tonala as a zone to give a little service to the struggling branch. The activity was a blast and the familes out in the jungle loved the visit from us!
Enjoy. Love you amigos!
Elder Brayden Campbell
