gabriel!!

​THIS WAS A GOOD WEEK!! I feel like its just getting better and better out here. Never been happier. My stake president told me that if i would work as hard as i can for the Lord, then he will never let me get tired. I really testify that that is true. The Lord supports us and keeps us primed and ready to do his will. 
  So the big news this week is Gabriel! Hes doing so good. Its been amazing to see his change week to week. He accepted to be baptized June 24th and is all in! He came to church and the ward welcomed him in so well. Hes from Nigeria and they are all korean but with the little english they knew they all said hi to him. We have the best members in our church!! Its was super cool because i had to translate for him during all three hours of church and i promise that it was not me translating. The Lord helped me out so so much. 
   The big moment of the week was with a man trying to quit drinking and was going off about how he needs to just gradually quit and had all these excuses. Well I was kinda sick of the half effort goals and stuff so we turned to alma 32 and read about faith and all the blessing he can be missing out on right now in his life. We talked about the priesthood and the blessing he could be to his children and his wife. We talked about the money he could save to support them better. We talked about his kids and how they look up to him and how he can be the big example. My comp looked a little unsure and might have been worried i was being to harsh but he broke down and his whole expression changed. He said he felt something new with us and decided to make some bigger goals to be baptized. Hes said hes determined to be that kind of father for his family and those around him. I know this church is true. It changes us into the best people we can be if we let it. It takes digging deep sometimes but its worth it. 
  Also Lay got the gift of the HolyGhost!! so proud of that guy!!
Love you all! Elder Hunsaker
