From Cambree King
Teaching in Honduras
... Gustavo.
So everyone here kept mentioning to us that we needed to teach him the law of
chastity. I guess they kind of have judged him but anyways... the story goes.
We went on Monday
to teach him and as we walked in, we both decided that the law of chastity wasn’t
it. We needed to teach him the word of wisdom.
We taught
what we could, and he began to tell us that he drinks coffee. He doesn’t just
drink it... he lives off of it!! Haha! He drinks a good ten glasses of coffee
each day. That is definitely hard to hear when his baptism date was for Saturday.
Well... we didn’t give up.
The next
day, he committed to only drink three glasses of coffee. Of which he did and
the next day, he went down to two. That was Wednesday and on Thursday... he drank three.
On Friday, we bought some organic coffee that Mormons can drink and we took it
to him - from Friday on, he said that there would be no more coffee in
his house and he was done. It was literally something incredible... leaving coffee
in less than a week.
And so he got baptized this Saturday and I cannot explain to you the
light that has come into his life. When he left the water, he had the biggest
grin on his face and every person there could see the difference he has made in
his life. The bishop took a good ten minutes to talk about the change he has
seen in him and was literally left shocked. I have prayed that the Lord would
bless us with people that have a true desire to come unto Him. Gustavo has pure
intention to come unto the Savior and I am so grateful that I was blessed to be
here and be part of his coming unto Christ.
