Week 65

This week we had a huge miracle with Erica and Heidi! We have been teaching Erica for a few weeks and we had a lesson with her and her daughter was there. And we invited her to sit and listen with us. She sat down and was so attentive to everything we were saying. And we felt the spirit so strongly testifying to her about the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon. She told us that she is in a religious search for the truth. She has tried a lot of religious practices, and has tried reading the bible, she just said she has a hard time reading it and she told us that it was an answer to her to have the book of mormon and she was so excited to read it! Then on Sunday she came to watch general conference and told us that on Saturday she watched a full session with Erica, her mom! That to me is such a miracle! I know that there are people that are waiting that are thirsty and need the truth of the Book of Mormon. They need the plain, simple, and power truths that it contains!

Especially after listening to general conference, I really felt how amazing the Book of Mormon is, and how much it has helped me in my life. I am so grateful for the strength I can receive thanks to reading the Book of Mormon. Both my companion and I felt very strongly that we are so grateful for the Book of Mormon. And we felt the best way for people to feel God’s love for them and understand it, is by reading the Book of Mormon. So when General conference ended on Sunday, we made a goal to find 5 people that night, and we only had 2 hours to do it, and we took with us 6 Books of Mormon with the goal to find 5 people that needed to read it. And when we left I really felt that we were walking with the Spirit. It felt so different. But we ended up finding 6 people and giving all 6 Books of Mormon to the people that God wanted. We felt so full of joy! Testifying to the people here in Chile about how their lives can change and how they can come to know their Savior by reading this book really has filled my heart. It helped me realize how important it is to me. I really do love the Book of Mormon. I love what I learn about my Savior and what I can do to become a better disciple. I am so excited and grateful to have every day here on this earth to learn, grow, trust, fall, and get back up again. I want to fill every day I have left here with the love, hope, and strength of Jesus Christ. He is the one that makes our life bright. I love my Savior!

 This week we had a zone conference and it was truly amazing. I realized that people want and need this Gospel. If they can understand what it means to be baptized, there won´t be a single person who wouldn´t want to be baptized. It just depends if they can truly understand the doctrine. Understand that when we are baptized, the door to return back to Godś presence opens. The only way to start to access Godś power is through baptism. If the people can understand that the first step to living with their families for the eternities is by being baptized, they wouldn't have to fear it.  This week we got to put this into practice. We taught our friend Absalon about the importance of baptism and how his eternal progression relies on being baptized by someone that has the authority of God. He was a little concerned at first because he said, If I were to be baptized again, that means that it would invalidate the baptism that I already have had and all that I have experienced up until ...

  This week was super eye opening. I learned so much about all aspects of life. First of all on Tuesday we left with Sister Trythall, the mission president’s wife. And it was so fun to see our area from a different perspective and to hear her testimony and feel her spirit. This week I felt super grateful for every little thing I’ve lived through. I’m super grateful for this time I have to be super focused in changing myself and helping others to change.  I also had some opportunities to have deep conversations this week with a few different people. The first one I had was with my companion. We talked about how sometimes we feel like we don’t feel the spirit as strongly or as drastic of a difference and the truth is that we are so connected spiritually that I realized it's normal. It's normal that people in the street feel the spirit strongly and they share the hard things they’ve gone through or what they’re going through right now after talking to them for 3 minutes. And that...

  My last week in Chile! The best week ever! This week I just soaked up everything! Every lesson, every street contact. especially Sunday. It was a super sweet and spiritual Sunday! I got to give my last testimony and wow it was hard for me, but I just felt so much love looking at all the people I love and have served with for so long. I am sad to leave but excited for the next part of my life!  Some highlights from this week! Ignacio got baptized and confirmed! The baptismal meeting was so spiritual and Ignacio shared his testimony at the end and he started crying! Afterward he said that the spirit was so strong during the whole entire baptismal service and it all exceeded his expectations! That is a lot coming from him because he is a very intelligent, calculated person, so the fact that the spirit was stronger and hit him harder than he thought was really special! Our friend Javiera saw us doing all the prep to get everything ready for Ignacios baptism and she asked us how ...
