Week 2 in San Juan!

Hello family and friends! First of all I would like to thank you very much for all the birthday wishes! It blows my mind that this will be my 2 and last birthday in the mission field. Time goes by sooo fast! On that topic as well, I can't wait to celebrate # 21 with all of you guys!!! 

Anyways, today was a fun week! We were able to find some truly incredible people and have some great experiences! My favorite was probably one that was at the house of our new investigators. Here's the story.  We were walking trying to find a name listed on our ward directory when we walked past a house with a lady and her daughter in the front. We originally walked by but as we passed it I felt we needed to talk to her. We started a conversation and then her husband came out. Her husband, Chris, is a spiritually/ religiously minded person. They agreed to hear a message about Jesus Christ. We were able to share the first vision to them which led to a great discussion about God's love and continued revelation from him. At the end of our lesson they kept saying how good of a feeling they got from our message. They referred to as if being "refreshed" or "Revived". They were a great family and I felt so blessed to share with them! 

Funny story... We were invited to a lunch on Friday which we happily attended. As we showed up at the appropriate time we found a group of people which were listening to one of the members of our ward tell a story. A strange story about some magic juice he bought off of a taxi driver that ended up saving his mom when she was sick. (I probably wouldn't take weird juice) But apparently that saved his mom's life. I thought "this is a weird lunch" and then another "speaker" got up and started a total sales pitch about this magic juice. As he started talking I realized what was going on... we were at a seminar selling a magic juice called "Green Barley"... Ya, that was not the lunch we were expecting... but we did get fed so I can't complain haha 

Hope everyone has a great week! Love you all always!
love,
Elder Payne
