Hey my friends and family!!!! How are you!? well I hope :) well this week has been a beautiful one. I finally was able to SEE my converts get baptized and it was soooo awesome :) aww man. Well I think i want to make this letter a little shorter this week, sooooo... Maria e Inti Morales Maldonado got baptized this Saturday. It was beautiful to see how they felt and to hear their testimonies. They are so ready to work and give themselves to the Lord. Edwin, the other son, was going to get baptized this Saturday, but due to some difficulties, he's going to get baptized next Saturday if all goes well :) He's super excited! Yey!!!! and As we have found, the area where they live is soooo white and ready to harvest. No joke, like every neighbor is so readY to hear about the Gospel and they want to change their lives. It's a marvelous change from before :D People are coming outta da cuts, y'all!!!
Update on our investigator who got possessed... well, she still is and we are still forbidden to go over there without a priesthood holder... so that's a bummer. a BIG one. But we know that that family is ready to hear the Gospel. They have been telling their member friends that they want to!!! Sooo we just have to find a time when the bishop and his counselors can actually go over and find this girl. Apparently, the family has locked her up somewhere.... creepy right?!
But we are just finding people all over the place!! yesterday, we did division with some sweet JAS (YSA) and it was awesome!!! We were totally yelled at by this drunk couple. ha ha ha and then we walked away and experience lots of rejection, but that's a part of the mission, there's always going to be people against the Word of the Lord just like there is opposition in all things :( its sad, but its how it is. We just have to use our agency to choose the right :) and in the midst of all the rejection, we found some super amazing people who are like "yes yes yes I want to know more!!" ahhh it's awesome :)
This Gospel is true y'all!!! I'm soooo happy to have the knowledge that I have. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us sooooo much. We have His Church here on earth!!! I know that I definitely wasn't super sucked into the world before, but now I see just how sad it is when people are so lost in the things of the world. I know that drinking, drugs, and various partners is not a happy life. Not because people have told me and that I have learned that at church, but because I have seen it. I have learned for myself and not just blindly followed anyone. I have taken the time to really ponder about life, why we're here, where we're going, and what exactly our purpose is. I know that we have a God in heaven who loves us so much that we cant comprehend. I know that because He loves us so much that He sent us His son Jesus Christ. and I KNOW that there is no way that we can alleviate ourselves from the horrible feelings of sin unless we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. It has been the best feeling in the world seeing and helping people change their lives and see what is really important in life. There is another life after this one. This time here on the earth is our "4 minutes" to show the Lord who we are and that we will follow Him. I promise to all of you that there is a greater happiness out there and it is being a part of the Church of Jesus Christ. Not just any church, but HIS church. He organized His church when He came to the earth and it (the members) fell into apostasy, but our loving Heavenly Father has restored it again on this earth through a prophet. Sometimes that stuff sounds crazy, but its not. I invite you to take some time to think, ponder, about these things and pray and ask God, in a short, simple prayer, if He's there and if He's listening. Ask Him if The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is His church. I promise, He WILL answer you.
People can criticize, but
I know what
I know, and
I know it because I
asked God. That is my invitation for you all this week. :)
Well, know that I love you all and I hope you are having a great week. If things go wrong, just remember that there is a purpose for everything :) I know this Church is true. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. :)
