You could say that it wasa little bit of a rougher week, but hey, thats life sometimes! I know that we are working hard and I know that God will help us so that we do our part and we can see the fruits of our efforts. Maybe they are just different than what we think or want.
We visited my favorite family of the moment, Stephanie and Cristian. They are awesome! and we shared about the plan of salvation and invited them to pray aboutwhat we were sharing and was shocked to hear Stephanie say that she wasnt sure if she could do it. She said that she made some vows when she professed buddism. Im not sure what types of vows, but we bore testimony and really just tried to give our all so that they could feel the need. and in the end she told us that her husband the other day asked if they could pray together, and she said that they hadnt been able to do it yet, but they wanted to. SO we left them to do that. They are so awesome!!
Also, our ward just started doing weekly activities in the church, more than anything to have it opened and to help the members to invite their friends to get to know the church. The first one turned out great as well! So I was happy! and we hda a few investigators there that we will be working with here shortly!
Also in our interchanges this week I realized that God wants me to learn something from La Serena. With all the people I have been talking with lately, I seem to have met lots of people who believe in a greater spirit/light/power but not God. I met someone who believes in "old astronomy". It was crazy! I have never heard that! but I bore testimony and told him that his life has a purpose and that we would love to share more and he said he was up for it! So Ill have to ask the elderes how things go up with him. But it was crazy with all the buddist and different beliefs that I have heard lately! jaja God just proves to me that Satan works hard, and even though we all can see that God exists, Satan confuses us with where this greater sense comes from.
We also shared with a less active ldy that we have been shring with a lot lately, and we just shared faith and repentance with her and told her that it is so important that we continuously repent and strengthen our faith. And it hit her. They committed to come to church, and they did it! Just as simple as that! It was awesome!!!
and the missionary broadcast, who all saw it? if you havent, I invite you to do it this sunday afternoon!! It was SO GOOD!!! I love to see how many chnges are taking place to help this great work of our heavenly father adapting so that we may reach even more people and help more people feel the spirit and make these eternal promises!!! I love this work! and just as the broadcast said, I hope that everyone can invite someone into their house for a NDH or just to have a good time! Show them how this gospel makes you all so happy! Just invite them!
Lastly, we had a conference yesterday as the 3 northern zones and it was incredible! I felt the main theme between the broadcast and the conference, was true love. We must continue with this work of sharing the gospel because we love our brothers and sisters and we want them to feel the great happiness that this gospel gives us!!! SO I hope that everyone can think on that. How much do you relly love your friends and familia? Sharing the gospel is easy if we share something that we feel so strongly about! Dont let fear get in the way, stand for what you feel is true!!
Well I wrote a lot, jaja I love you all!!
