This week was great! We taught family Bonatii with the Stake President!!! It was insane!!!! The Stake President is famous here for being crazy direct with people. It's great for us because he adores the missionaries but everyone else is afraid of him hahaha. We taught a lesson with him and honestly I haven't felt the spirit that strong in a long time. Vidal, the father of family Bonatti, has been addicted to smoking for over 30 years. He couldn't stop. We have been working with him so much and he was without smoking for 5 days when we had this lesson. President told how his dad was alcoholic and missionaries went to his house and promised in the name of Christ that he would never drink again, and he never did. He looked him in the eye and said by that same power and in the name of Jesus Christ I command you to never smoke again. We had Sunday lunch with them and he said that the smell of cigarettes turns his stomach - he wants nothing to do with them anymore. The church is true and the stake of Huacho is in good hands.
This Friday we are having their marriage, they aren't married yet, and baptism of family Bonatii. It will be soo amazing!!! I'm so excited! Please pray for them and that everything goes well. I love this mission! It's the best.
Hasta next week!!
Love,
Elder Nielsen
