BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!‏ July 13, 2015

Thanks so much for the BIRTHDAY WISHES!!! :D The first thing that I would like to mention is that I can now buy PISTOLS and have a concealed weapons permit. :) Ha ha, just kidding, that isn´t why my birthday was awesome but I shall tell you why. SOOOO this week was awesome. We were looking super hard for people to teach right? My companion and I were white washed in a rich area and had been praying hard for a family to teach. Well, this week we were working and just decided that we were going to go over to the colony, Puerta de Hierro, which we never do because it is an area of privadas, and we can´t enter and search. If they leave we can catch them in the street. This is not very efficient but we went over there and found one guy in the street. We were like well... I guess we will contact him so, we contacted him. We talked about the gospel and asked him questions. He then told us that his son died on June 8th. We just tried to show as much empathy as we could and told him that we have a message for him. Well, we went and taught about eternal families and he was super happy. Then HE WENT TO CHURCH!!! MIRACLE!!! And LOVED IT!!! It was all about eternal families and temples. To make a long story short, he is going to get baptized. And well, his wife is super nice but very Catholic but when she learned about the Book of Mormon and how it tells us what happens after death, she was very interested. Well, l I feel that she will also accept the GOSPEL :) and well, their two daughters might. We still don´t know them but I am just so happy to feel like an instrument in the hands of the Lord. That is ALL I WANT!!! And it is just so true what the prophet Thomas S Monson says. The best feeling in the world is to feel a prompting, act on it, and find out that it was for somebody else´s good. :) He also shared with us that he never goes out to walk and he always takes a taxi but this day he decided to walk and we found him. We call those Diosidencias. That is God and Coincidence put together. :) Anyways my birthday was great! And thanks EVERYBODY for your birthday wishes! :D I feel like an old fart b all is well in Zion. :) HARRAH FOR ISRAEL!!! Please pray for the family De La CRUZ! :) Love you guys! The church is true! :) Elder Slade
