¡Hola! This week has been a great
week with its ups and downs like always. The first thing I want to mention is
our visit we had with Octavio. I don’t know if I mentioned or not but he came
to church this week. it was amazing cause we had called before hand and he said
he had to wait for a tech to come to his house to fix his wiring then he
could come to church so we though he wouldn’t make it when to our surprise as
the first talk begins there comes in Octavio. He had such a light he was so
happy in the Chapel and actually there was a member in our ward that was there
when he was baptized. so they got together he met with the bishop and the whole
ward was so strong in supporting him it was amazing. He came out of the Chapel
just beaming that day. Then we had a day set up to visit him in the night and
all day was just terrible we were being rejected all day long just walking in
the street talking and knocking doors and just overall hard. That is untell we
had our appointment with Octavio when we had that it all changed. It was a
super spiritual lesson he was so much happier then the last time we talked more
about the family and how what he is doing in the gospel will bless them. he is
so ready to get active in the church again. it’s going to be step by step but
he is so willing to take the steps which is the most important. After we left
the lesson with Octavio me and my comp both looked at each other and we knew
all the walking and rejects all day was all worth it to have that lesson with Octavio.
Also this week as it was mother’s
day we had the chance to do Skype and When me and my comp finished we were
walking down the street when suddenly a man called out to us and we went over
to talk to him and he asked us if we could come to his house we of course said
yes and set to come by an hour We went by and started talking he told us a bit
about his life and how he felt atoned by god and that he had been forgotten. We
testified that god had not forgotten him and that he was watching over him. We
then asked why it is that he stopped us on the street and asked us to come
over. He said something when he saw us just said talk to them even if he didn’t
know what it was but he kind of just did it. He also talked about how he has felt
and emptiness in him that he tries to fill with parties and drinking but it
never seems to fill. In That moment we felt the impression to give him a book
of Mormon. we gave him one and told him that it would fill his emptiness if he
reads it and applies what it says. the sprit was so strong in the room it even
touched him he recognized it as a peace he had never felt before in his life.
Truly the spirit told him to talk to us knowing that in that moment his heart
was open.
It’s amazing how the best things
come on the hardest days when the days get hard the blessings come I know it’s
true I know god knows each and every one of us and is preparing a way for us to
come back to his presence if we will just walk the path he tells us to.
I hope you all have a great week and
follow the guidance of the spirit
