Hey guys!!!
It`s been an awesome week! We found
another complete family!!! The Lord has really been doing His work, and
it`s so cool to be right in the middle of it! the Familia Garrido is a
family of 8 kids, and the mom is an ex jehova witness. We found them
tracting out in the boonies one day. We had a really cool charla with
them this past week about the plan of salvation, and they were on the
edge of their seat! They beleived every word we said, and the spirit was
so strong! It was really interesting, one of the little boys in the
family started telling all the answers to the questions we were asking
about the plan of salvation, like he already knew it! We asked him if
he had ever heard of this plan before, and he told us no, but that he
just knew it somehow. It may have seemed like such a tiny thing, but I
thought it was really sigificant. This plan is real, we were all there
in the Great Counsel in Heaven. When we talk about truth, the Spirit
makes connection with our spirit, and it`s something extremely familiar.
We pointed that out to this family, and they were just so amazed!! It
was a really spiritual charla, I love the mission! We`re excited for
them!
We are also really working with Andres
and Paula, the other complete family- the friends of the first counslor.
They are SO SO SO SO ready, and they don`t even know it! They haven`t
been reading the book of mormon, and we had a really powerful charla
with them reading Alma 32. We explained that they HAVE to read to get
their answer, something that they REALLY want. Paula told us that she`s
had a lot of contact throughout the years with missionaries, and has
never really had that desire to talk to them. But that when we were
invited to the Family night with the first counselor, She just felt this
big desire to know. Pray for them, Andres is the next mission president, or bishop! Uruguay needs him!!!
Anyway,
I love you all, I know that this church is true. We are in for some
really really hard times. The prophets have said over and over to be
prepared. They can`t say any more than what they`ve already said. Stay
close to the Lord, and serve. I love you all, have a good week!!
