So, this week has been wonderful!!!!! As always! I am loving it here in Tampa. Next week is transfers and I am praying that I will be able to stay in Tampa right here, and with both my comps, because I love and adore them sososososososo much! Anyways, the week has been wonderful!
It has been a wonderful week and our investigator Jose is doing so amazing! He is such a golden investigator! I am loving working with him! It is a true joy! We found him while tracting two weeks ago wednesday, and he is just coming along so fast. He was so ready to find the truth. He has a baptismal date for the first week of May and I would love to be here for it! It will be my 3rd baptism. He is my favorite though. I feel such a new and mothering type of love for him....it is different than anything I have ever really known before. I just want to shelter him from the world....and when he prays in the lessons, I find myself opening my eyes to watch him because I think that it is so precious. He is from Chiapus, Mexico. he is 22 years old and he is planning on returning soon. I hope that he can take the gospel back with him and share it with his entire family.
We went to see him (he lives in the GHETTO) on sunday and his roommates were all super drunk. They came outside and were getting really close to us and telling us elaborate drunken stories in slurred spanish.....it was really interesting and entertaining. But he was so embarrassed about it, and it was really sweet to see him care so much about the way that people treat us, and the way that he appears to us. He says that he sees us as messengers from God, and that he has been waiting for this his whole life. He is like a little innocent baby. I don't even see how he has been around these types of things his entire life. I would really love to be here for his baptism. He is really a special little guy.
