HOLA FAMILIA!
This week was good! Long and short
at the same time like all other weeks but it sounds like you’re really keeping
busy! This week we had four people in church! Guiliana came with her friend
Karen and she was all happy. We had a great lesson with her earlier in the week
and we helped her work up the confidence to ask her Dad if she can get
baptized. She’s 13 years old like Jade! So her Aunt said she would help her ask
her Dad for permission but he said no... hmm. So, if you could pray so Karen’s
Dad’s heart will be softened that’d be great. Then the Sanchez family came to
church! Their Daughters are members but the parents both have addictions that
they’re trying to overcome. They had a good week though and were able to come
to church and they left really happy! Then we had a miracle come to church!
Luis Gimenez is a convert and is a stud. He is a super member missionary! He
invited his friend Daniel from work and he came! After the
three hours he said he wanted to get baptized! haha The only thing is that he
lives in a different ward’s boundaries so well see what happens with him. We
also met two great families this week! We’re excited for the people we’re
teaching and I really hope that we can see them progress until baptism!
On Wednesday, we had a leadership
meeting and they talked about how we need to learn how to be our own agents and
to have the integrity to do whats right even when nobodies looking over our
shoulder.
In D&C 58:27-28 it says, "Verily I say, men should be
anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will,
and bring to pass much righteousness;
28 For the power is in them, wherein
they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in
nowise lose their reward."
We can always be more honest with ourselves and
other people. We must learn how to make good decisions. I’m so grateful for the
blessing it is to have the gospel in my life. To know where we lived before,
why we’re here, and where we’re going. It’s better than anything in this world
because sadly we cant bring anything to heaven, just us.
Oh and watch this
