On Tuesday this week, we had a less active member come up to us in the street. His name is Javier, and he wants to be a preacher.
He asked us if we believe in miracles! Which of course we do!!! Then he pulled back his cheek to show us a very yellow tooth.... we were a tad confused! Then he began to tell us how he went to bed last night praying for money to meet his needs... and woke up with a "Golden Tooth"... and he was on his way to sell it. He said that he has tried talking to everyone in his path to tell them that God is a God of miracles... but no one would listen! even his own mom and kids weren't listening! They just thought he was crazy!

He said that he just wanted to share this with everyone, but know one believes!!!
But then, as I was writing that experience in my journal, I got lost in my own thoughts. I started wondering if we have something like this "golden tooth" that we want to share with everyone. Mine is the gospel!! And, like Javier, There are people who don't listen. people who don't believe, people who think we are crazy. But do i have the same desire to share this with everyone like Javier wants to share this miracle? The answer is YES. I love this gospel! We have a new person to teach now!!! That was a miracle! I love it here!
Also, the secretary of President called me this week and confirmed that they bought my flights to go home. ALREADY!!?!?!?! This cant be happening. September 25 I´ll be home.
I love the mission!!!!
I hope you have a great week and that God blesses all of you with opportunities to share your "golden tooth"!
