El AMOR puro de Cristo 

Queonda! Last night while we were contacting some potentials and had a
lesson in the street with this couple. The girl was really interested
and accepted to read the Book of Mormon but the guy was a little
hesitant and said he'd never prayed before... He would get a chance
real soon. So we leave and come back to the parking lot about 20
minutes later and we see a car that is falling into this giant hole in
the ground, with one of the back wheels barely on. It's the kid we had
the lesson with. We come over to help him and his phone had died and
he had gotten rejected by his girlfriend. So we told him it was his
chance to pray hahahah but he laughed and said he'd take it. Then we
called a recent convert that happened to live in that same apartment
complex (he goes to the gym a lot) when he saw the car he laughed and
asked if we thought he was Hercules. and he basically priesthood power
lifted up the car and saved this kids life. He even told us he'd pray
tonight! It was a small miracle of the night!

More miracles: we have a family on date for baptism!!!!!! they choose
March 16 and they are the cutest humans ever. We have another couple
that is progressing so well and should be baptized in March as well.
So keep them in your prayers!

I wanted to share one of my favorite quotes for our modern day prophet
really quick:
“We cannot truly love God if we do not love our fellow travelers on
this mortal journey. … We are all spirit children of our Heavenly
Father and, as such, are brothers and sisters. As we keep this truth
in mind, loving all of God’s children will become easier. …

“Every day of our lives we are given opportunities to show love and
kindness to those around us. …

“Love is expressed in many recognizable ways: a smile, a wave, a kind
comment, a compliment. Other expressions may be more subtle, such as
showing interest in another’s activities, teaching a principle with
kindness and patience, visiting one who is ill or homebound. These
words and actions and many others can communicate love.”

If I have learned anything out here is how much our father in heaven
and savior love us. And the best way to show our love is to love our
brothers and sisters here. I have seen so many miracles just from a
small act of kindness given to someone struggling. Gracias for all the
love that I get out here and for all you do for me and for the Lord. I
love you all with all my heart!
