How are you all?! I love you all so much!
So, we had another great week. I basically have been adopted by
Paola and her family. It is so great! Whenever they have family parties
the missionaries always are invited too! It was Paola´s (the hija)
birthday yesterday and we of course were invited to their family once
(it is dinner here but later and more rico.) We ate completos and a really
delicious cake. After we answered some questions for Edgardo about the
Book of Mormon (his questions were in the middle of Mosiah where there
are like twenty different groups of people doing different things. No
wonder he was confused. Turns out he really did understand it all
because he read the book of Mosiah like three times!) And, we looked at
pictures of their family for like and hour... I know we are bad
missionaries but it was so fun! It was so fun to watch Edgardo´s face
light up as he was talking about one of his girls or some memory with
his (basically) wife. Paola could have shown us pictures all night. They
have a beautiful family that can be eternal! I want that for them so
bad! They are so sweet! They continue to progress and experience
miracles for their progression. I love finding myself part of this
adorable family. Thank you for your prayers those are good ... keep praying
for them because I know Satan really does not want all of them to
progress and they all need to keep progressing together.
Erica accepted a fecha for her baptism! She is so sweet! It was a
pretty cool week all about sacerdocio! (Priesthood.) We taught so many lessons and
learned so much about Sacerdocio! One of the things I love that God does
most is when I am teaching other people I learn more than they do
sometimes. I find that really beautiful! It is always the opposite of
what you think. You would think that when I was teaching about priesthood,
I would not learn anything new because I am the teacher... That is why
God said His logic confounds the wise! Erika and another investigator we
have (Rosa), were confused about why it is important to specifically
get baptized in our church. It was pretty beautiful to learn about the
priesthood. It is a beautiful gift we have. I read a lot about it. I find
it interesting because the attributes we need for the priesthood are the
same as the attributes we need for charity (D and C 20 and Moroni 7) Also
Alma 13 is super cool! We are super blessed because our covenants with
God are for forever! I always thought about that with covenants for
family but I never thought about it for covenants like baptism. It is a
huge blessing to have a covenant with God that will last forever!
(Because I made that covenant through the priesthood of God.) Of course I am
most grateful that that same priesthood works for our family! It is another
example of something that will last forever because it was sealed with
the priesthood of God. It is interesting how things like power in the
family, the power in the priesthood, the power in the Book of Mormon and
the power in the Atonement all connect. Probably because when it all
comes down to it they are pretty much the same, LOVE!!! It is really
powerful! How beautiful is it that the men (people) in our church are blessed
with that very power straight from God. And how we use that power that
is basically love to help make the things that we LOVE last forever! (my
relationship with God and my relationship with you guys.)
We got a new companion de apartamento! That was exciting because
she is a gringa! I forgot how much I do love English. No, but it is nice
to let my head rest at night and talk a little in English. I am loving
Spanish more and more. I have not quite learned how to use them yet but I
really like the commands. :-)
Anyway life is great! I love you all!
