Exchanges

Wow, super awesome week this week. This week I got to go on exchanges with one of my favorite elders in the entire mission, Elder Alonzo from Paraguay. The dude has a real excitement about missionary work that gets me pumped haha. On our exchanges, we had quite the experience. We contacted a house and a lady named Maria let us in. We started talking and she started to tell us about all of the problems and really just the terrible life that she has had. Shes had a life full of drugs, alcohol, and bad choices. She's been in and out of jail her whole adult life. We decided to share from Mosiah 2:41 (one of my fav scriptures), when she read about the blessed and happy state of those who keep the commandments, we saw a change, for maybe the first time in her entire life she was feeling the spirit, and a desire to make something out of her life. We asked her if she wanted to change her life, and promised her the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints will change her life if she has the desire. She accepted to be baptized on the 17th of August, it's going to take a lot but really with God nothing is impossible. Kinda sad shes in another area and I won't be able to keep visiting her, but she's awesome!

Other than that, we had a pretty normal week in the best work that there is! My bike broke like 6 times but other than that, all is well!! Hahah

Love,

Elder Henderson
