Hello
all. You will have to excuse if I don´t get a lot typed today. My
fingers are freezing and I will try and type as fast as I can. This
week a cold front moved into our area and it has been pretty cold.
Don´t get me wrong I have gladly accepted the cold and I am very happy
for it to be more cold. But the cold does have its downs. We have
really been trying to find new people to teach this last week. Its been
a little tough this far seeing that everyone just locks themselves
inside their house and doesn´t want to talk but it has been fine besides
that.
As
far as investigators that have been progressing we have Kevin and
Perla. It has been a little difficult with them as far as their mom
goes but other than that we have been progressing just fine. We have
been teaching them and they have been coming to every church activity
that we put on. Its really cool to see that they aren´t really scared
of the church and what is there. We didn´t get them to come to church
this last week because their dad had to work and couldn´t bring them.
Other than that they have been coming along great. It was kinda funny
because we taught them yesterday the word of wisdom and their mom had a
bunch of people over drinking and smoking. It was cool because they
would look at us and say that the people weren´t following a commandment
of God. It was a really cool spiritual moment for me in seeing that
the spirit had already testified to them that they knew it was wrong to
smoke and drink. Its also been a great spiritual builder for the dad as
well. Him being a part of the spiritual conversion of his kids. At
first it was kinda hard because he would ramble and just go on and on
about spiritual stuff that the kids didn´t need to know.
I
just finished the BOM for the 3rd time in Spanish and it is truly
awesome. I can´t believe that I didn´t love that book since birth. It
is more than just a book that can teach us good things. It is a
spiritual journey. We make a promise when we begin to read it. We make
a promise within ourselves to apply its teachings. We feel the spirit
testify of the truth of the words in every sentence and every time that
the prophets teach us. It has been a great friend to me in times when
there was little hope as well as a sword in combating evil and
proclaiming the truth. I accompany the testimony of the prophet Joseph
Smith, that a man can bring himself closer to God through the Book of
Mormon then any other book that exists.
I
also had a HUGE spiritual confirmation that really the spirit is there
to help us. We were teaching at a family home evening with one of the
families that are in our ward. As we sat there and shared our thoughts I
was thinking about some of the goals I can put to make me a better
missionary to help me become more like Christ. As I began reviewing
these goals the spirit touched my heart. The more I thought about the
things that I wanted to accomplish to make me a more consecrated
missionary, I felt a burning in my heart that I can´t describe. It came
strong strong and strong every time. I know that it was God telling me
the things that I need to do to make me a instrument in his hands. I
know that they Holy Ghost helps us know what to do when we study things
out in our mind.
THE
LORD GIVES US THE DRIVE TO BE BETTER. SET THE GOALS! PÙT FORTH THE
EFFORT! WE WILL FIND MORE HAPPINESS AND JOY THEN WE EVER THOUGHT
POSSIBLE. I love you all and hope you have the spirit always in your
lives.
