Sounds like the progression on the whole house thing has come a long way. (I still think that you should build the dance floor downstairs in Grandpa's little shop place at the end of the little sidewalk.) That's great that you are all feeling such great blessings from the Lord in los asuntos temporales. The truth is that he has promised us everyone of those blessing if we just keep the commandments. But too many times we think it really doesn't matter to God or that it is something we can do on our own. But if we let God take over even in the little things, we are then also giving him the permission to help us in the desperate moments of our lives when we cry out for his love.
Message to all McShinsky dancers. Make good use of your time!
That's a lot of Honey. Wow. Just to let Stan know, I finished your honey, and ever since, I've been buying honey trying to find more like yours. I still cant find it. Hasta ahora su miel esta ganando todo la miel de Paraguay. ¡Bien Hecho!
This week we found a new investigator. His name is Carlos. While we were teaching one of his friends, he happened to pass by. We invited him into the lesson and he quickly responded that he really wanted us to visit him more. We went to his house the next day and began teaching him and his mom. Very quickly we came to find out that he has more addictions then I knew one person could have. The next day we took him to church, and for me it is amazing how fast the gospel of Jesus Christ can help every one of us. From when he met with us on Sunday for the rest of the night he didn't smoke a single cigarette, joint of marijuana, or other drug, and promised us that he´s going to fix it all as soon as possible.
When he understood the concept of bautizmo, He immediately tried to convince us to do it that day. As well as all the other topics that we taught to him. The gospel of Christ is AMAZING! And now a question, I think I remember the Brother M knew a lot about how to help people get over addictions. If you could maybe ask him a little about ideas he has to help people get over their problems, that would be greatly appreciated. (So he knows, Carlos is addicted to about everything I can think of. From crack to prescription drugs, to alcohol, pornography, to breaking the law of chastity, to pretty much everythin' else as well.) (And he has connections to the Paraguayan mafia) (Your prayers in his behalf would be greatly appriciated!)
With Love,
Elder McShinsky
P.S. Birthdays in the mission are awesome! Eat cake with companion, Eat cake with member family, Eat cake at a surprise missionary birthday party, Eat cake with investigator family (And invite all of their friends over to eat cake as well, then while eating cake sharing the gospel.)
