A GUIDED WEEK

 ¡Hola! How is every one? It’s starting to get really hot down here and we a bracing up for a good long summer.

This week has been an interesting week first of for Margarita she has asked us to change her baptism date to the 14th of December so that her daughter can come to the baptism. We were fine with that anyways. It’s been amazing this week to see her and her daughter’s preparedness to receive the gospel. These last few days we have been teaching the commandments (things like word of wisdom day of rest tithing, ect.) and with each one we teach there comes a immediate acceptance. For example we went to teach the word of wisdom to them and we thought that Belen was going to have a problem because she smokes 1 cigarette everyday and told us a few weeks ago that cannot go without it. When we came to teach the word of wisdom we found out that she had 2 weeks before quit smoking and had no desires to go back. It was amazing truly the lord is preparing the way for them so that they might receive this gospel.
 
Then this week has been an amazing growth week for me. Truly it would be impossible to count all that I have learned and how much I have grown this week. Me and my comp have been having problems lately. It can be hard at times but what I have found is that truly we can find rest and peace in the lord. I know sometimes we can be lead to ask or wonder ´´lord how many more cheeks do I have to turn?´´ ´´ I have turned my cheek so many times just to get smacked again for how long?´´ I know I have asked that this week. Though the power of the spirit I have felt the lord extended my ability to turn the cheek one more time to keep your cool and not blow your top.
 
Many times we reach disagreements in our life’s we bump heads with the people around us. I have been bumping heads this week. But if we will just ask the lord will tell us which battles are worth fighting and which we should just let go. We need be humble enough to accept the lords counsel when he tells us to stand down and be brave enough to purse something when the lord tells us to.
When it comes time to fight a battle it must be done with the spirit because to do it any other way is to lose the battle. When the times comes even if the other person raises there voice never need we raise ours. If we feel they are attacking us personally we must never attack back. We must act as the savior did explain with love why we acted as we did why we think as we do.  If we follow the spirit the lord will bless us with peace a peace that defies logic. I know cause I felt it I know that it is real. If we will follow where the lord leads us he will make sure that everything will work out just right.
 
I hope you have a great week and that you all will seek the guiding hand of the lord this week.
