This week there wasnt anything too crazy! We had interchanges on wednesday and I was with a Chilean Elder, Elder Araya. We had a good time and I think we both learned lots! jaja He has been in the mission a change longer than me, but I learned he has lots of hidden secrets. For example:He playes guitar WELL! While with a familia, he picked it up and played a hymn and lest just say I really wish I knew how to play! He made it look so easy! jaja Oh well. It was a really good way to bring the spirit there with an hermana who is pretty sick. She was very pleased with our visit and I felt good about the spirit we felt there. I love the power of music! jaja
We also ate in the restaurant of a member this week! He is in the other ward that meets in our building, but when members want to help but they cant be home to cook, they send us there! My first time there, but it was good! Meat and potatoes! jaja
Also, with Natalia, Carlos and Nicolas, we have been sharing lots with them and they are excited for their baptism! They came to church for their second time and they really like it! I love to see them and their excitement! And Nicolas even shared his testimony in the meeting! Awesome!
We also went to a baptism saturday morning and it was VERY spiritual. The other two elderes had it planned and the guy that was baptized has really been trying to change his life. And right after he was baptized, he shared his conversion story and it was POWERFUL!!! I cried. Also, Hma Smith, she had taught him when she was in her other area, and she was able to come to the baptism as well, and it was just, wow. I LOVE how this gospel can help people SO MUCH!!!
Lastly, sunday we were able to have lunch with the same hma we ate with last sunday! Although, her son is less active and her granddaughter isnt a member. So we shared with them again, but instead of getting overly excited, we just helped him to remember his old memories of the church and he loved it! and his daughter WANTS to come to church! So we invited them and they said they would come next week! YES!!!
We also talked with an hermana who needs to get her boy baptized and she knows it, but she said its been hard. So we are going to help, so that his older brother can also start preparing for the mission and he can baptize him. Thats the plan!
And from my studies this week, I was reading alma 32-33 this morning and it was GREAT!! You just gotta read it! For all of you who are saying "I have read Alma 32 before, talks about fe, I know..." read it together with 33. Then you will know. jaja
Well I love you all!! Nos vemos!!!
Elder Marvin =D
