HOLA!
We got blessed with a miracle last week. We invited a
guy that we met in the street to come to a baptism service with us. We
threw that hook in the water and he bit! His name is Eduardo and he is 68
and he stopped smoking after doing it for 40 years. He has the raspiest
voice I have ever heard, Poor guy. Needless to say he can use the gospel
of Jesus Christ. He said that he felt good in the service and my
companion asked him if he wants to get baptized. ´´Why not? ´´ Is what
Eduardo said. haha Alright! He also came to church with us last week and
he is planning to go with us tomorrow. He can barely hear neither, while
teaching him I just yell at him. I feel good about it so I guess that the
spirit is there. He takes a while to understand things too so it has been
difficult to give him a baptism date, we are counting on for June. Vamos!
The mission is amazing. My testimony strengthens every
day that these things are true. Religion was created by men, but the
Gospel of Jesus Christ is Life. Costanera has tested my patience a
lot. It is full of Catholics who are just so stubborn. They are
stuck in Religion instead of accepting Life. I loved reading in Mormon
this morning. Mormon didn´t baptize a single person. His people
basically killed themselves. He preached repentance but they chose not to
accept it. But Mormon knew that he would be exalted. He knew that
he had done his work and he did everything that the Lord asked him. If we
just do our part, everything will turn out ok. We can´t change the agency
of others, but we can choose to use ours in a good way. We are greatly
rewarded for our obedience and service to God. We may not have been
having the best success lately but we are doing what God wants us to do, and I
know that God is taking care of us and He is happy with our efforts. I
know that God loves us and the He lives. The only way, the ONLY way to
find true happiness in this life is by living the gospel. I am happy!
I love you all tons. Keep working, keep fighting, read and
pray every day and may you all find happiness this week!
Love,
