Week 13 "I was on the News"

Elijah had a good week.  He was a little discouraged because all the investigators that he and his companion have had, all need to get married.  It is really expensive to get married in Costa Rica and many people just don't have the money to do it.  He said many of them were ready to get baptized if only they had money to get married.  We will be praying for all of them.

He had a really cool experience.  He said:

     "I had one cool experience, I closed my eyes and said a prayer and asked Heavenly Father to send me where he wanted us to go.  I felt go three more streets and then turn left and contact this little street, so we did.  We got to the last house without anything and I knocked on the door and a 45 year old man came out.  He said Elders how are you doing????  We said good and asked him what his name was.  I then got the strongest impression that someone was waiting for him across the veil.  He said my name is Alfredo!  We asked how do you know the missionaries?  He said my Dad was a member that went to church and the temple and everything, but he passed away 9 years ago, but I'm not a member.  And then he asked when we could come by and teach him!"

He also told me that he was on the news.  He said:

     "We were contacting in the park and one of the News Men came up to me and started talking to me!  I was all Soy un missionary de La Iglesias de Jesus Cristo de Los Santos de Las Ultimas Dias (I am a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints)!!!  And then he asked me if I like Costa Rica and stuff like that and at the end he said Pura Vida Champion and I said Pura Vida!"
