Bo of course can tell this story better than I can, but while he was on his mission he and his companion converted Carlos. Carlos is a very special convert to Bo. He was so good to the missionaries and did all he could to help them out by giving them rides, feeding them, welcoming them into his home and he even got a ticket to fly from Recife to Sao Paulo with Bo and his group when they flew home, just so he could spend that little extra time with them. Bo and Carlos have kept in pretty good contact but sadly, we haven't heard from him for a couple months but... Bo got a call from him yesterday! It seems as though every phone call gets better! Carlos had great news yesterday! He told Bo that he went thru the temple last week and received his endownment and is also the secretary in the bishopric! He also said he is going to be turning his papers in for a mission soon! We are so excited for Carlos!
I love to see Bo so excited! He explained to me that it's things like this that made his mission worth it! I can't help but think of the scriptures D&C 18:15-16. Bo helped convert Carlos and because of that, Carlos will help someone else and it will continue that way. The Lord will always provide a way. I am so thankful for the gospel in my life and for all the missionaries who are being a servant to the Lord!
