One further word about the Maria we taught last night: Until she was 21 she did not realize there were other religions besides Catholicism. But she indicated that when she read the Joseph Smith tract it rang familiar. She is ready for the gospel.
Elder Richins, Elder Stewart, and I worked together today, the three of us spending the night at the apartment of Elder Richins. This evening we taught a first lesson to a man who is a poet and author, with something like nine works published. On first encounter he gave us one of his books, a romance called Lázaro, a story about the biblical Lazarus raised from the dead by Christ. This man, Antonio Justa, is intimately familiar with the Bible. He loves to talk and could have done exactly that all evening with little trouble at all, making it most difficult to get into the lesson. He did slow down though as we presented our message to him. He accepted the lesson but does not seem to be the type that would go on to baptism. His only hope is the Book of Mormon and what it might do for him.
