He was reading an english book and we went crazy cuz we're two gringos in the dusty old streets of Colombia. We talked for a while and we told him about our english classes in the church. We told him the time of our sacrament meeting too but thought nothing of it cuz he explained that he was catholic. But Sunday rolled around and the dude was there at church. I sat next to him and walked him through everything. He wanted to know a ton more and was shocked that our church is not full of herotics and crazy irreverent worshiping.

I got to work gutting trash out and dust. I found a moldy pillow case and wiped out the inside because we didn't own rags. Colombia!!!! Humility- God knows how much effort we are putting into showing him that we care. I was advised to give up my favorite sin and I would be blessed.
