We saw some cool miracles this week. There's a less active kid, Diego, who hasn't been coming to church for the last 7 years or so because he decided to take a trip through proverbial Babylon. We always went by to invite him to activities and stuff, and he was always very polite, but never really wanted to participate. Anyway, we were near his house the other day and heard blaring loud music, so we knew he was home. We went by to invite him to church and he let us come in and share something with him. We read Alma 36 and asked him if he wanted to make that kind of change. He said that he had been thinking about it a lot lately. He said that he had been changing a lot decided that he was at the point of deciding whether or not he was going to come back or just turn away forever. We challenged him to give it a lot of thought and prayer and to come to church on Sunday. He said he would. He talked about how in spite of everything, he knows the church is true and that Heavenly Father loves him because of so many times when he has felt the Holy Ghost warn him of danger or protect him from something even when he knew that he didn't deserve that help. I think it was the first time (if not, one of very few) that I cried in a lesson. He came to church yesterday, and we called him in the afternoon to thank him for coming and he said: "Creo que nos vamos a seguir viendo..." which basically means: "I think you'll keep seeing me there..." I am so amazed at the miracles that are happening all around us everyday.
Anyway, that's kindof the big news for this week. I just keep looking for the good. Thanks for all your support and help.
