Hey familia.
Today was fun. We hung out with the missionaries in Belen today which was a blast. I don't have a lot of recollection of the events that have passed this week but I do remember a little faith building story about our friend Juan Pablo.
So he's a recent convert that my comp baptized down in Colombia and we've been teaching him over the phone for the past long little while. He has had a coffee addiction his entire life so we have been helping him get over that. A couple of weeks ago he was drinking like 15 cups a day, so we worked with him and got it down to zero for like a week then he went back to like 2/day. So a big improvement nonetheless.
Long story short this week he ended up in the hospital and his doctor told him that coffee was killing him and that if he had kept up the 15 cups/day things wouldnt be so good ☠️. So now he has stopped drinking coffee completely. (maybe out of fear for his life) but out of it a great lesson was learned. Prophets really do speak to God. There is a reason for all the commandments and great blessings that come with each of them.
Sometimes it is hard to see why God would command some things but the nice thing is that we will be blessed for keeping them exactly. There is no easier way to live than by keeping the commandments.
Anyway, I love you all and hope you have a blessed week.
You're always in my prayers.
With love,
Elder Bailey
