Elder Chiñas! This will be our second transfer together in Douglas and our
fourth in total! Crazy!

Eugenio: So here is a good story. So on Tuesday we went with
a member to see Eugenio. It was great having that member because they connected
instantly. So we planned to teach him the Word of Wisdom. We talked about how
we do and don't do certain things SO THAT we can have the Spirit with us. He
understood everything really well and committed to live it. He said he wouldn't
have any issues with anything. Then, we go over on Saturday to teach another
lesson, the Law of Chastity, but as we come in he is trying to hide this little
cup of something. He confesses that it is a mixture of coffee and alcohol to
"calm his nerves and get rid of his depression." He was pretty tipsy,
not drunk, but tipsy. He was pretty funny during the lesson but it was sad that
he was doing that. We talked about repentance and we finished with a prayer.
Right as I said amen, he started his own prayer out loud and started repenting,
asking for forgiveness from God, and he asked for God to bless us. He said,
"prepare their mansions well, these angels." It was kind of nice. We
are trying to help him understand that is not really us, but the Holy Ghost
that is the real support. So it was kind of a funny but sweet experience. We
are super happy that he understands repentance and prayer.
JP: JP is a friend of a young man in the ward named Daniel.
Daniel is working on his papers to serve a mission! So we had a lesson with JP
and Daniel. We taught the Plan of Salvation. While we were teaching, Jp would
say things like, "Daniel and I talked about this," "Daniel told
me about this," and "Daniel taught me about this already." So
Daniel is super awesome and a super good missionary. JP understands a ton and
wants to be baptized and come to church!
Elizabeth and Tony: They are doing well! They really need to
come to church though. They are learning a ton and want to be baptized too! It
would be a great thing but they need to come to church first.
This week was super good and Douglas is getting better and
better!
I hope you all have a great week! Write letters please!
Love,
Elder Dallin Baker
