It’s been a great week! Things are pretty warm but we're
doing ok! Lots of exciting things this week! Things are going really well with
Vivi (Juan's sister) and she was able to come to church this week! She fit just
right in and it was great! We're still working with the less active Garcia
family (I played 26 games of tic tac toe in church with their 7 year old to
help her be reverent...whew!) and the Morales family. Roberto is preparing to
be baptized this week but his wife back in Mexico has some mixed feelings about
it! Please keep them in your prayers!
We also have continued to visit Siomara (she lives way out
in the country) and she brought a friend to church this Sunday. Her mom passed
a way this week and it reminded me a lot of the situation when Alma (from
Mercedes) had the passing of her mom and how helpless they felt because
communication was limited and the distance was so far!
This week I finished el Libro de Mormon in Spanish! I have
such a strong testimony that it is true! It helps me feel my Saviors love and I
am so grateful for it! It has honestly been a miracle to see how far I've come
with Spanish and I owe a large portion of my progress to reading from the Book
of Mormon! This time as I finished up a few verses at the end really stood out
to me!
5 And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth
of all things.
6 And whatsoever thing is good is just and true; wherefore,
nothing that is good denieth the Christ, but acknowledgeth that he is.
7 And ye may know that he is, by the power of the Holy
Ghost; wherefore I would exhort you that ye deny not the power of God; for he
worketh by power, according to the faith of the children of men, the same today
and tomorrow, and forever.
I love in verse 7 how it tells us by the Holy Ghost we can
know that Christ is! That is such a powerful witness and such a key to our
relationship with our Savior and with others. If we constantly renew that
testimony we will earn charity from our Heavenly Father and we will grow closer
to all we come in contact with! Yo se que el libro de Mormon es verdadero y
estoy tan agredecido por esta oportunidad de compartirlo con la gente del
valle!
les amo!
Con amor!
