Hey everyone!!!
This week was really good, I got
to give a talk in Sacrament meeting, that was fun! We also saw some
miracles- We have an investigator named Silvana who has been an
investigator for over a year. Her boyfriend has problems with drugs, and
she has been trying to help him so that they can get married and
baptized. But He does not want to change. So she finally said that she
was done, and that she was going to move out. The only problem was
that she didn´t have a good enough job to pay for an apartment. SO, we
fasted with her that she would be able to find a job and move. We
fasted on Wednesday, and on Thursday a job that she had applied for over
3 months ago called her and offered her a job! It was so cool, and
she now has a testimony of fasting! She is such a STRONG convert
already, it´s incredible. It´s interesting to see how converted she´s
become, compared to other people I´ve taught, because we teach the same
things to everyone, but ONLY those that truly humble themselves, keep
their committments are those that experience that mighty change of
heart, and become santified and purified. It´s true for us too, even
if we´ve grown up in the church!
We also found a
new investigator named Gonzalo, the husband of a less active lady who
is also an RM. They are looking for the gospel, and told us that they
want to have a refuge for their daughters in a world of confusion. We´re
SUPER excited! I´ll keep you posted!
This
week, I was studying Alma 22 about king lamoni´s dad, and Aaron, Ammon´s
brother. When The king prayed and repented of his sins, with true
intent, the spirit changed him 100%. When he woke up from his coma, he
got up and imediatley started to minister to his people, and the whole
house was converted to the Lord. I always thought that Aaron was such a
stud for converting all those people, but I realized that is wasn´t
Aaron, it was the king! He shared that gospel with his household. When
we become CONVERTED to the gospel, we naturally want to Share it. That´s
how we do missionary work, help one or two become converted so that
they can go and convert MORE. So, a really good indicador that you
are converted or not is your desire to share the gospel. If you don´t
have that desire, GET IT!!!!
I love you so much, Have a great week!!
