La Ligua semana 14‏

Hola de La Ligua, ¿cómo están todos? ¿Algo nuevo este semana? Well we had quite a wonderful week! After goi9ng last monday and putting a marriage date, we have been working to get the invitations ready, and the get everything organized so that it will be a day that Karen y Mauricio will never forget!!! 

We also have been working hard to get anyone else prepared for baptism before the end of the year. We are trying to help the mission achieve our goal that we have for the year, and we wanna end this year great! And in the midst of that, we have about 7 people who are preparing for baptism at this time, and we hope that everyone one of them can get it! So we have been visiting them lots this week! 

 Also, we climbed to the top of the last hill here that I hadnt climbed yet! We were looking for a less active hermano who has a son who is still not a member, and in search we found another guy who is really great! The next time we go up there we will definitely go by him again. 

Something I have learned in this month is that many people do not understand how it is that we get the gift of the holy ghost. So We gladly help them to understand that it is necessary to receive it by the laying on of hands from someone who has received the authority or permission to act in Gods name (through the priesthood). However, Acts 8 very clearly shows us how it is that we receive the holy ghost, that not only because we are baptized means that we have received it. 

I am so grateful for the gospel that truly teaches me the simplicity of the teachings of Christ. I am so grateful for all that he has done for me, and made it possible that I can be guided by this Holy Ghost in all that I do! I know that it has helped me MANY times when life got hard, but I am so grateful for the blessing it is to me!!! And I hope that as Christmas gets closer that we may all think a little more in Christ and look for his influences in our lives! The spirit will testify to you, I know it will if you are looking for it!!!  Ilove you all, and I hope that you may find a way to share Christ love with someone nearby you!!! Try and be an extra special friend this year, and forget your own personal desires; I promise you will not regret it!!! 

Les Quiero Mucho!!! 

ps Also, funny thought. While eating an ice cream this week, a little girl was looking at me, and REALLY wanted an ice cream! and her mom said "Look, you gotta eat all your find if you wanna have big muscles like him." jajajaja woo hoo!!
