September 5, 2011

I don't know if we are getting transferred, but I was told that the two of us will go to the meeting but without our suitcases soooo idk....
ooooh hey tell betsi that i got her box :P and it was wonderful

Alright, so we`ve been teaching this guy named Plinio. he's married to a lady that is less active and recently was returning to the church but for 4 yrs. He,s known about the church and received the lessons and everything. Then me and my comp came along.

Plinio recently suffered an accident and his car rolled three times... a week earlier a person from the LDS church gave him a piece of paper that read "God has something big planned for you." He was amazed by this so he allowed us (me n my comp) to teach him. He accepted everything and wanted to be baptized but not now.... he was putting it off and wouldn't set a day.

Then yesterday, Sunday the 4th of 2011, I went up to the front and bore my testimony of when I was about 10 years old and I was walking down the store isle, and out of nowhere, I felt like I need to cover my sister up (alisa who was like 2 yrs old) and right as I did a stack of chairs fell on top of me.

(mom I don't know if u remember this or not but anyway), as I was telling this story, it touched Plinio, so deeply that he started crying. The spirit filled his soul and he heard a voice tell him, "I kept you alive, so this young man can save your soul." After sacrament got over, he came up and asked me to show him the Baptismal Font. When I showed him he asked when we do baptisms. I said "Any time and day that you want." He started to cry again and said that he wanted me to baptize him now....

We embraced and he was baptized then n there.

The holy ghost really is there and god does answer our prayers, and we just have to show our faith and work for what we want.

But I will never forget that day. ;P

Love, Greg (Elder Ludwig)
