From Cambree King
Teaching in Honduras
On Sunday, the elders in our district had a baptism and we
really didn’t have any reason to go but they kept calling us and telling us to
come. So, as it was starting, we headed to the church. A mototaxi offered us a
ride and took us right up to the door of the church because it was pouring. But
about a block before the church on the corner was an hermana that sells ojuelas
(fried tortilla things) that I have seen several times. As I looked at her on
the corner, I felt an undeniable feeling that we had to invite her. The baptism
was waiting on us and it was pouring rain and I about didn’t go back. But I
knew I couldn’t walk in without inviting her. The Elders came out to let us in
and I just said, “You have to wait. Give me a minute,” and they kind of freaked
out. But we went down and invited the hermana to come to the baptismal service.
She didn’t even hesitate and came with us. I don’t know what difference it made
in her life, but I know that she felt the Spirit and I am so grateful that I
listened to the Spirit in that moment. Sometimes, we don’t understand why the Spirit
tells us to do certain things, but the Lord has a higher manner of thinking in
all ways.
On Tuesday, we went to contact a block close to our house. A
week ago, we promised the Lord that we would be there at that time and that we
would knock every door of the block. Of course we found some very interesting
people, but the Lord blessed us with Mario and his two boys. Mario has heard of
the church quite a bit in his life but i think that now is just his time. He
has had a bit of alcohol in his life but he has decided that now is the time to
leave it. In college, he was studying to be a sacerdote in the catholic church
but got with the wrong group of friends and he said that it has changed his
life. We invited him to commit to pray to know if he needed to listen to our
message. The second time we went back he said that every single one of them had
prayed about our message and that the answer was a clear yes that they needed
to open the door to us. He claims it is a miracle that he even let us in the
first time, but he has so much potential.
