Miracle number 1!! Belen she is so great! Honestly she is so willing to accept all that we are teaching her!!! This week we weren't able to catch her at home much and we were worried that she has kinda lost her fire but we were able to find her at home and teach the gospel of Chirst and it was a great lesson filled with the spirit she is still scared to be bauptized and so she doesn't have a set date but we are working a lot with her!!! Prayers are much needed and wanted in her name!!
Miracle number 2!! Last week I talked about a couple of people that we contacted on the street because I was scared that they would rob us... well they are AMAZING!!!!! Honestly!! They are all such good kids you can see that they aren't the normal teenagers that you find here in Argentina with drugs and alcohol in the corners of the street that are always playing soccer or rugby and going to the gym and all that jazz! This week we had an activity and that ALL came! 8 young men!! The ward was so happy and they loved it!!! They didn't come to church but we are going to keep working with them!!
Miracle number 3!! These same teenagers! We have been worried that their parents wouldn't like that we are talking with them because they are all from a different church and they are super active in there churches so we made it a goal this week to talk with there parents!! Well we talked with one of them!! And it was great!!! Honestly!! She was so excited that he is listening to us and that he wants to go to church and everything! She says that she just wants him to be happy and if he is happy here and she is chill with it!! She says that she has never seen him like this before because he has never wanted to go to church with her and never really liked any of that so we are excited!!!
Miracle number 4!! I don't know how I forgot to put this in my letter last week but we had a bauptism!!!! It was great she couldn't come to church so she isn't confirmed yet but it was great!! Her story is amazing!!! Like 8 months ago her youngest daughter started listening to the missionaries and she was bauptized! A month later her brother then another month later her sister and then also her other sister!! And now this week the mom!! She has bee hard to break!! All of the missionaries had worked a ton with her but nothing and one day without us even saying anything she said hermanas I want to be bauptized I know that this is all true!! And this week her son bauptized her!! It was great!!! She was crying so hard!! And could feel so much the spirit!! It was honestly amazing!!!
Miracle number 5!! In Dec. we were teaching a family! La familia Cala and they were great!! Super open but they didn't progress all that much so we dropped them.. but we went back this week and taught lesson 1 and she finally understood why the church wasn't on the earth and why Joseph Smith needed to bring it back! It was great!! And they came to church with us!! With her daughter!! And it was great!! Her daughter is really shy and so she wasn't all that sure about going but she went and one of the converts of the elders was so great because she sat with her and they became friends!! It was amazing and she is so excited!!! And the convert went and visited her house yesterday and everything!! It was great!! We are so excited and grateful for the help of the members!!
Miracle number 6!! La familia Flores!! Long story short they are investigators that have been waiting 2 years to be bauptized but can't do it yet because they have to get divorced from the other spouses and then get married. But here in Argentina it takes like 4 years for a divorce to go though and so they are just waiting and waiting!! And it is hard on them because they just want it so bad!! But this Sunday during the sacrament meeting the mom said that this week she had been praying so much so that she could get her answer and know if she was doing the right thing and this week during church she honestly felt that she just needs to wait a little bit more because honestly this is the true church and that her family in doing the right thing!! We are excited because they are all so much stronger now that there mom is strong!! It was amazing!! She was crying and honestly you could see that even though she isn't a member she is honestly converted to live the gospel!!
Well as you can see these are only a few of the miracles that we have seen but this week has been great!! Honestly full of miracles from the Lord and we could see so much his hand in our work!!
I just want to share my testimony with you all!! I KNOW that this is the Church of Jesus Christ, the only that is here on earth and the only way that we can truly return to live with God is though this Gospel!! I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God!! I know that Thomas a Monson is the living Prophet of God! I know that the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God!! I know that I have an eternal family! And I am so blessed to have them!! I know that God is always willing to forgiven anyone of his children if they honestly repent and go to Him! I am so grateful that I am a missionary because it is the best thing ever!! I love serving the Lord 24/7!!
Thank you all for the support that you give me and all of the prayers!! I feel them everyday!!! LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
