Great things are happening in the vineyard of the Lord. This past week we were able to teach the friend of a member, Joseph. He is 82 years old and although his parents are from Lebanon and Damascus he was born in Columbia and so Spanish is his preferred language. He has already read the entire Gospel Principles manual but is still very excited to learn more. Our first lesson was a very sweet experience. Before we even started teaching he asked, "So when can I get baptized?" As we shared the experience of the First Vision, he leaned forward in his chair listening very intently. Afterwards, he fed us some hummus, good stuff. He is very excited for his baptism on the 7th of April and hopes that his wife will consent to come. Joseph has been of testimony that even those who come in the 11th hour will receive the same as those of us who have been around for awhile. The gospel is true and if we learn it, live it, and love it we will be happy. I hope y'all have a great week!
Love, Elder Cooley
