2.26.18 Back to the CCM

2.26.18

Hey fam, 

yeah..... you read it. I got to go back to the CCM to see Neil L Anderson. I also saw a familiar face from the good ole Knolls ward! His talk was centered on the atonement and Jesus Christ and it was sooooo great. The CCM really is a special place. when we got in it was a special place. It literally was a breath of fresh air. there were no holes in the sidewalk, there was no trash or dogs in the streets, and there is just a different feeling there. I sure miss it somedays.

We had a special conference before the listening to Elder Anderson and it motivated me to talk to more people. Right after the conference we hopped in a taxi and I just started talking to the driver named Jesus. I asked him if he had a family and the next thing you know we had taught the whole Plan of Salvation to this taxi driver. at the end of the trip, we got his info and passed it to the elder in Tlalnepantla. so sick!  It reminded me of a scripture in D&C that says and your whole labor shall be in Zion, with all your soul, from henceforth, yea you shall ever open your mouth in my cause, not fearing what man can do, for I am with you. amen.

Also we live above a catholic family who is super awesome. They've always been good friends with the missionaries but never really have wanted to learn more about the gospel. The dad was in an accident and bruised his ribs and he asked me to give him a blessing. He had been to the doctors and they said he would have to take it easy for 3 weeks before he could be active again. I was super nervous because they usually don't want anything to do with the church but I went and gave him a blessing. The next day he went to work and he said he hasn't felt a ton of pain. THAT was awesome and Im praying it will open them up a little and allows us to talk to them about the experience.

The last thing we had this ward activity about the Tree of life. We called and talked to all of our investigators to go and whatta know  they were a no-show. It was all good because 3 less active families that we visited came! We showed up and the Bishop said,"Okay elder broadhead take it away" (in spanish of course) and i started smiling and he's like "no seriously this is your activity."  but we weren't invited in any of the planning buttt with a quick prayer I just winged it. it ended up being a super activity and the less actives came to church the next Sunday so that was pretty awesome!  This week was sweet, we have 3 baptisms scheduled this month..... lets hope they'll they come to church and keep reading!!!

Have a great week. Love you all Elder Bhead
