In this last week, we started teaching Miguel Angel. He is a 27 year old man in a wheelchair who works making both acoustic and electric guitars. He has has meningitus, and tuberculosis (or at least I think that´s what he told me, but I´m not sure because the names of the diseases were in Spanish), and is now in a wheelchair and suffering from a bit of memory loss. When we found him, he told us than every night he prays so that he can pass on from this life and wonders why God wants him to keep on living. We taught him the plan of Salvation, and the purpose that God has for him in his life. At the end of the lesson we asked him to pray. In his prayer, rather that asking to pass away like he usually always did, he asked for more time in his life to fix the mistakes that he has made and put his life in order. He came to church yesterday, and gave us the news that he will be going to La Paz for 2 months for physical therapy and other medical stuff. It's awesome that he will get the medical help that he needs, but my companion and I are pretty bummed that we won´t get to keep teaching him. We are going to give his info to the missionaries in La Paz and they are going to keep teaching him and hopefully baptize him.
We´ve got some other great people that we are teaching, but I´ll let you know about them next week.
Until Next Time,
Elder Casdorph
