Hey there guys!!!!
This week was a pretty good one!!! I am so sorry that it is getting cold over there in Utah, it is getting really hot here!!!!! I am starting to sweat again, and I don't know if i like it. Haha. But I am still here in Valle Sagrado climbing the hills and preaching the word. I am working hard here with Elder Ushiñahua (Elder Ushi) finding new people to teach and helping people come unto Christ!!! I am really really glad to be here still working in Valle Sagrado but I will be honest, it is getting hard. I have already visited pretty much everywhere and now I have to go to the dark dusty corners of my area to find new people, But we are finding them!!!
This week something really cool happened. Last week one of out investigators, B. was baptized and this week her sister committed to baptism!!! It was a super suprise because she always said she was catholic and she really believed in her things and everything and she was a little hard. But on Thursday I was visiting with Elder Hunt working in his area and Elder Ushiñahua was working in my area with the Zone Leader Elder Mariscal. So we get back home and Elder Mariscal tells me he has a surprise for me but my comp is going to tell me. And so Elder Ushiñahua tells me that M. had committed to be baptized and she said that she knew that the church was true all along she just wanted to test it out and see how it was. For like two months she knew it was true and didn't say anything!!! I was dying. And the coolest thing is that she's gonna be baptized on December 13th!!! My Birthday!! Woo!!!! Two years in a row with baptisms on my birthday!!!! I am super excited!!!
It was a great blessing that she accepted baptism. And this week I received another great blessing. I FINISHED THE BOOK OF MORMON IN SPANISH AGAIN!!!! For the third time on my mission and the second time this year I finished El Libro de Mormon. I finished it Sunday morning before church and well it was awesome!!! I absolutely love reading the Book of Mormon. Every time I read I receive more and more testimony that Christ lives, Joseph Smith was a prophet, and that the Church is true. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. I try to help my investigators understand that the Book of Mormon is the keystone to our religion and without it we would be nothing. This week I gave a training to my district teaching how the Book of Mormon can be used to teach every principle of the gospel and how an investigator can come to a full knowledge of the gospel only if he reads the Book of Mormon. I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God and no one can tell me other wise. The spirit of the Lord has testified to me that is true and I know that nothing in this world can prove that that is wrong. I testify of the Book of Mormon and I testify of the Lord Jesus Christ, that they are real and true. I know that this church is true and living and it is thanks to the Book of Mormon that I know these things. I thank God for giving me this amazing testimony of His love for us and His plan that he has prepared for every one of his children. I know it is true.
Read the Book of Mormon. Read it, study it, ponder it, pray to know if it true. I know that you will receive an answer that is is true.
I love you guys so much and hope you have a great week in the cold!!! I hope to hear from you soon!!!!
Les amo!!!!!
Su hijo
