Hey
mother,
Hey
family whats up? so this week was a great week we were able to get a full week
of work in and saw some miracles. The other day i was talking with my comp and
we decided to go work in an area that we havent worked in for about 3 months
and the other morning before going out to work i was just reading the
scriptures and a contact of a guy that i had in my first change here back in
september that i contacted and called him and never answered then i never
visited him again. I thought of him and dug back like three planners ago and
found his number. We went and found him taught him and he accepted to be
baptized. One thing i have learned on my mission fam is the courage of the
invitation. I find that when the spirit isnt there much or they arent
understanding a ton i just give them the invitation to be baptized in a bold
and loving way. This lession with him didnt start off good at all cause he kept
getting up and going to another room, but then we got into joseph smith and the
spirit entered, as my comp started talking about the book of mormon i felt he
was talking just a little to much and he started to lose focus for a sec then i
just randomly jumped in and said,,, luis will you be baptized into the true
church of jesus christ. He paused then said... yes i will. I asked him why, he
said he grew up catholic and his parents baptized him when he was like 2 months
old but that he would feel a whole lot better if it was his choice in the
church that he feels is true... The spirit was there. Leaving the lession i just
thanked my heavenly father for giving me the spirit to remember that guy like 5
months ago, so yeah that was the miracle for the week.. I have just been
focusing lately on the miracles. Even the tough days... like every missionary
has, there are miracles to be found. If it was a good contact, or feeling the
spirit in a lession or whatever... there are miracles. And thats the best thing
about the mission is that we can see miracles everyday. Gods hand is in this
work. i have seen way to many things to never be able to deny that, its here.
His spirit guides this work. Yesterday i taught the principles of the gospel
class and it was on jesus christ. It was great they informed me that i was
teaching 30 seconds before the class started and just handed me the book and
said good luck. I went in there with a prayer in my heart and it went great. I
started talking about jesus in gethsemani. I remembered the talk from elder
holland a little while ago that talked about how jesus walked the path uterlly
alone so we dont have to. He got into where there was a moment when even god
had to turn his back to him for a moment, just so he could know what it was
like to be uterlly alone. He walked that path so we dont have to. How awesome.
Well family keep prayin for us here we have people to baptize have a
great week.
