Diamond Investigator Mode

So I basically have a man crush on our investigator N. We taught him the Plan of Salvation last Friday and he just ate it up. We committed him to be baptized on March 29th. He is absolutely incredible! He straight up has been searching for the truth for years. The whole time he kept asking really really good questions. He understood everything we said and that it "makes complete sense." He is blind and hasn't even read the book of Mormon yet and he knows its true! At the end of the Lesson I asked if he would pray to know specifically if what we told him was true and if he should be baptized. He prayed and asked out loud in front of us and then was quiet for about 5 minutes. I swear even the most vilest of sinner could have felt the spirit in that room, it was just working in him like I have never seen. He finally looked at us and I asked how he felt, he told us that he "felt really good." We are now meeting with him twice a week and he has come to church every time since we found him. He is already trying to share the gospel with his brothers, and his doctors. This guy came prepared for sure, I could probably show him the baptismal font and he would just dive in! Nelson is so freaking awesome!

Oh in other good news my bike broke! There was a really nice bike given to me by another Elder who is apparently freaking rich because he paid $350 for the bike he gave me. I decided that I would use mine until it broke because there is no point in just letting it sit. So I broke it on a dirt road, I was going way too fast and the forks snapped off. It was all dirt so I didn't get hurt too bad, just a couple scrapes! My helmet cracked though, that was cool! So now my bike issues are over! Seriously the Lord is just spoiling me, any stress that I have he fixes it so that I can focus and get to work. I received an email from the last missionary who was here just completely apologizing for leaving the area as bad as he did. I basically told him that I wasn't angry and that he has probably suffered enough with guilt and doesn't need me to chastise him. He wass pretty appreciative of that. I also felt really good knowing that I forgave someone. Lets hope God was serious when he said that Mercy will be shown to the merciful. That's what Im hoping anyways hahaha

I'm super excited for this next week because we are hopefully teaching a family of 7! That will be like a total sick lesson to teach!  Love you guys, I will let yall know how it goes!
