Well, I have come to realize on
the mission that is very important to use the scriptures during lessons because
as missionaries we need to help those we teach, have faith in the Book of
Mormon. The Book of Mormon is important as it is the foundation of our
testimonies! I shared Mosiah 24: 9-16, with someone this past week and
this person began to cry. I really like these verse because, although the
circumstances did not change but the people changed and they Lord did comfort
them. It will make more sense when you read it.
I appreciate you sending me
Monica's letters. Tell them I say hello, and I miss them.
We have been sharing the
#BecauseHeLives card. It is so good. Have you seen the video? If you haven't
here is the link: ElVIVE.MORMON.ORG invite everyone you know
to watch it!!
It is because of Jesus Christ
that Life Eternal is possible. That we too can live again, with all our loved
ones. What a sweet message that is. Also, we are all preparing ourselves
for the spiritual General Conference this 4th and 5th. I am so excited!! But
how can we prepare more fully for General Conference? Well, arrive 30 mins
before it starts to be settled down and spiritually ready. Go to the church, if
possible, since at home there may be too many distractions. Did you know the
church has had General Conference every six months since the church was first
organized. I invite you to prepare yourselves for General Conference by asking
yourself a question that is important to you. (D&C 43:8) and be ready to act on what you
hear.
Pick two things that you have
learned or felt and be prepared to ACT!!!
This past week was full of the
Lord’s tender mercies. We found a wonderful sweet little family of three while
knocking doors. This is a young couple and they have a 28 day old baby. The
dad’s name is Daniel and his wife Maria. He let us in and we were able to teach
them. My companion and I are excited as we have a return appointment tonight to
talk about the Plan of Salvation.
Also, one of our investigator had
a break through this past Saturday. You see, he is a ‘Testigo de Jehova’ and it
was hard for him to leave his church. He said he wanted a bible that didn’t
have anything taken out and we gave him ours. He started to compare them and
realized the missing things. He is almost done reading the Book of Mormon and
said he is leaving his church. He is ready and wants to be baptized in the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day saints!!
The Lord’s tender mercies were
given and much appreciated. Thank you all for your prayers on my behalf.
Les Quiero Siempre,
Besitos y Grandes Abrazos!
