Hola mis amigos!
This week has been crazy and beautiful. God is blessing his
missionaries! We have seen so many miracles and God putting us in the
right places at the right time. We have so many investigators that are
really ready to change and the Spanish group is growing! Our
investigator almost got deported and is in jail but he contacted us
and might be able to stay! A lot of people he works for are fighting
to keep him here. He emailed us so we got to reply. Rocio (our member)
took me seriously with the username "el cholo" cause she didn't think
it would show (it does). We're probably first missionaries to ever
email their investigator in jail as El Cholo. The people that read
them were probably expecting something other than scriptures.. Another
investigator came to church for the first time. We had to translate
but the spirit has its own language!
We have had a challenge as a zone of who can hand out the most Book of
Mormons in two weeks. I'm not competitive or anything..... But we are
killing everyone! It's been amazing to see that book placed in so many
people's hands and to be able to testify of its greatness. Even as a
missionary I sometimes forget how wonderful it is to know what we
know. No other religions know that God has a body of flesh and bones.
That there was pre-mortal life. That we will all be resurrected with
perfect immortal bodies. That there are living prophet today. Nobody
else knows that! I love seeing the surprise when they hear it for the
first time, cause it makes sense right? The Book of Mormon just shows
me how much God really does love us. Because of that book I know that
Jesus Christ is my savior.
I wanted to share my favorite scripture of all time.
Alma 7:11-12
11 And he shall go forth, suffering pains and afflictions and
temptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled
which saith he will take upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his
people.
12 And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of
death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their
infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to
the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his
people according to their infirmities.
I invite all of you to really think about why you know the Book of
Mormon is true. To write it down and pray for someone to give it to.
There are people living here without it. I love you all and I'm so
thankful for the prayers you are sending my way. We are feeling them.
This is us visiting the sea lions....
Sorry you can't actually see the sea lions. Just imagine them, they're
real cute.
