¡Hola! This week was a really good
week we had some great things happen. First off we visited with Hermano Amigo
and his wife this week. So in the first visit we had a really strong meeting
talking with him about the need to get an answer from god about these things we
then talked about how to recognize the spirit. We left after explaining that
and inviting them to read pray and really seek this answer. When we came back
we asked them and to our surprise the Hermana began to tell about her experience.
(She was the catholic never want to change type) how when she prayed she felt a
strong feeling that brought tears to her eyes. She said it was a very special
feeling and knew it was an answer from god and that she needs to be baptized. The
Hermano amigo also said that he felt a feeling that almost brought him to
tears. Which he claims is special cause he never cries never ever. (Using his
own words) and it took that big of an effect on them. They are both going
strong to their baptism. The hermano amigo still struggles with smoking after
that day together he promised to never smoke again so he could get baptized. I’m
so amazed at the power the spirit can have. All our talking. All of our trying
to convince him did do anything and was left in the dust by one true experience
with the spirit. Truly the spirit is the great teacher truly the spirit is the
one who brings the conversion. It was amazing to get to watch this process
happen.
Also on Sunday I had the privilege
to go back to my last ward to baptize Belen. She is the daughter of the Hermana Magarita who was baptized while I was with macedo (if you remember) Well after
the mom got baptized we kept working with Belen and she would always say that
someday she would get baptized. Well she got things in the right way to get baptized
and she requested that I do it. It was an honor to be able to do it. I still
remember finding magarita one day just sitting in the park and thinking well lets
go try talking to her. Now they are both baptized and on the way to being an
eternal family it’s amazing I love that family so much. one of the 2 times I
have been able to see a family progress from first contact to baptism it’s
amazing.
Also this week Just today we got to
go down to The Rio Clario which is a natural reserve place near our mission so
our zone rented out a big van and we went as a zone. it was so amazing it was
my first time going on a hike in about 19 months it was amazing how much I
missed being in nature and how rejuvenating it was to be back out in nature
again. The city is great and I have come to see the beauties in it but all that
a city has all that man can make is blown away by a few simple hours of nature.
it was amazing.
This week was great it was nice
cause honestly the last few week have been a bit hard but this week was better
just goes to show that after all hard times good things come I hope you can all
have a good week and remember
``the night is always darkest right
before the dawn``
