Elder Cole Noel- Peru Lima Central Mission: August 20, 2016

HOLA! Once again my loce is unconditional for all of you! Thank you so much for your love and prayers. Your prayers are being answerd in magnifecent ways!!

This past saturday we had a BAPTISM! Hermana Carmen Chafloque was baptized and confirmed into the only true and living church on the face of the earth! On sunday we were picking up investigators and we arrived like 5 minutes late to the first meeting. Carmen beat us there! She is so awesome and its a true blessing to be able to see how much the Holy Spirit lights us up!!!

This week we also met a man named Dante. Dante is 77 years old and really looking for the truth. We found him in the "Rich part" of our sector and he fits the part! WE explained to him the Restoration and he was just eating it up! We pulled out the Book of Mormon and his first reaction was a gasp. He told us that the Book is a jewel and offered to buy it from us. We told him its free and gave it to him! He was so interested! We returned a day later and he had already read 20 chapters and studying it with the footnotes! SO AWESOME!

We tell our Zone leaders all the time that they need to be like seal team 6. Because our our assignment we have to do alot of administrative things and so the time we get in our sector we need to take advantage of! Get in, Preach until we are blue in the face and get out! God is truly blessing this sector!!

If all goes well we will be having 2 more baptisms this friday. So pray with all your might that it will happen!!!!

"Jesus Christ is the Way. He is Light and Life, Bread and Water, the Beginning andthe End, the Resurrection and the Life,
the Savior of the world, theTruth, and the Way.
There is only one way to happiness and fulfillment. He is the Way. Everyother way, any other way, whatever other way, is foolishness.
He offers a well of living water. Either we drink and never thirst more, or wedon’t and foolishly remain thirsty still.
He is the Bread of Life. Either we eat and hunger no more, or we don’t andfoolishly remain weak and hungry still.
He is the Light of the World. Either we follow Him and see clearly, or wedon’t and foolishly remain blind and in darkness still.
He is the Resurrection and the Life. He said, “The words that I speak untoyou, they are spirit, and they are life.”8 Either we learn of Him and have lifemore abundantly,9 or we don’t and foolishly remain dead still.
He is the Savior of the world. Either we accept the blessings of HisAtonement and are made clean and pure, worthy to have His Spirit, or wedon’t and foolishly remain alone and filthy still.
He is the Way."
