Week 51
Heyy! I hope you are all amazing!!
Another crazy and fast week in the mission down!
We had so many spirit filled lessons this week but let me share my favorite.
It was with members. They have been in the church for 30 years now and they shared their conversion stories.
The story of brother Díaz stuck out to me. At the time he was living in Florida. He was at work one day and they were in a work meeting. Someone asked "who is God" and it got brother Díaz thinking. Later on in the week he went and talked to his colleague who asked this question. Tis colleague was gifted a Book of Mormon from one of his friends who was a member and he decided to regift it to brother Díaz. He read the whole book through in 3 days and gained a testimony that this book was true and that this church was true. He then moved back to his home in Venezuela and never got in contact with the missionaries but continued reading the Book of Mormon. S few years later he moved again and was in his house thinking and wondering about how he could worship God more and become closer to Him. Well, the missionaries knocked on his door while he was in his house thinking. He gladly welcomed them in and they read from the Book of Mormon wherer they are baptising in the Waters of Mormon. They invited him to church and he went and was baptized a few weeks later.
God places certain people in our lives in the exact timing that He wants. His timing is perfect.
Our friend Jenny!!!!!
She has a baptism date for November 4th. She came to church again, even though she has to sacrifice so much to get to there. We are going to try and bump up her baptism date to the 28th of October. Everyone please keep her in your prayers.
All of our lessons have been spirit filled and its incredible. There is no better feeling than the spirit. I invite you all to invite the spirit into your daily lives. He will change it for the better.
There was a cute old man walking down the road at 3 in the afternoon when the sun is at its peak. He was holding a closed umbrella in his hand. As we passed him my comp said "use your umbrella" and as he passed he made the cutest look at us and he opened his umbrella and continued his walk. It was as if he had never though to use the umbrella when it sunny, it's like he brought the umbrella just in case it was going to rain.
It made me think of Christ. Sometimes we only pull him out during the dark and cloudy moments of our life's. The times when we need Him the most. The umbrella man reminded me that we should pull out Christ even during the brightest and happiest times of our life's. He is not just an umbrella that's available to use to make it through the rain. He's also available to use during the sunniest hours. He is always here for us and He wants to experience it all with us.
Alma 29:10
"and behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me."
He is full of grace and I have truly witnessed that He answers our prayers.
I learned that if we pray for help to overcome our trials, He will not take them from us, but He will truly walk through them with us and make us stronger on the way.
He is full of grace. GOD IS SO GOOD!!!
I love you all, keep enjoying the fall leaves for me and send me pictures or am email of your halloween costumes! Have a great week and remember to put God first because he always puts you first <3
