this was a crazy week! i literally cannot believe how fast time flies while you are on a mission!! really only one thing happened this week that i actually can remember! we talked to a lot of people about the gospel and it was a lot of fun! we also played a lot of ghetto ball with these kids in our apartment complex! my comp and i met a guy on the street named ray. we were walking down the street and this hardcore killer. i mean hardcore, i would never talk to him by choice. he waves us over and asks us a question. he says. if there is only one God how come there are so many churches? so we go straight into the restoration and we are talking about prayer and we ask him if he prays, then he tells us that he feels so bad for always making promises to God and not being able to keep them. and he asks us if we could help him with stuff like that and we told him this is exactly why we are out here!! we tell him that through baptism all your guilt can be washed away and we can help make and keep those promises and he tells us taht he was already baptized. my comp straight up tells him. if what we are saying is true than your baptism didnt count! he then comited to baptism!! just by talking to him on the street!! its amazing how powerfull the spirit can be! we were feeling it so strongly during our chat with ray! i hope you all have a good week! love you guys! elder horrocks
