How are you all!? I have a great family!! I love to see how happy you all are in your cute little family!
This week was a lot of work! We worked and contacted people in the street, and then we contacted some more. So, I am sorry I don`t have very many stories. This week was a good fight against satan. he is a bad little dude. There are so many people here who have just completely written God out of their story ... which I find so sad because He is the very creator of their stories. There is this terrible idea here that says that if you are smart enough, you don`t need God and the ones who do believe in God are just those poor people who do not have a strong enough conscious or mind. That is uaually a bad sign when a people and a country starts to feel that way. But I choose to continue believing.
We went to the M_`s house again this week! I love this family so so much! I think they are part of what dad meant when he said that there were good things waiting for me in my next sector even though I did not believe him. Now I am starting to believe him. The dad was not there but they are awesome and brought someone else to the house to have a lesson because they are GREAT missionaries. (hint hint to you guys, Missionaries LOVE it when they can do a FHE in your house with a non member!!!) J_M_ is this awesome kid who has more love in his heart than anyone else I know. He has a little brother who is starting to think about serving a mission. We went to their house to talk about how to learn more from the scriptures. It was a great lesson! The mom wanted to learn about eternal life, and so we went to the GEE (guide for the scriptures which is sooooo much better in Spanish!) We started reading about how to have eternal life. The Bible said it well. We read Christ's prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane, and we read about how Peter asked Christ where else he would go to have eternal life. We learned about repentance and faith. And then to close it all up we read the powerful words of Nephi 32! He summarized all of the Bible scriptures perfectly! It was a good kick in the pants to remind us that we need faith, repentance, baptism, the Holy Ghost, and to do it till the end. But then he testifies of our Savior who is mighty to save! Nephi is AWESOME!!! It was a perfect summary and a perfect example of how those two books support each other. We did not plan it because we did not know what they wanted to study but the two books support each other so well that you don`t really need prior planning. I love the Book of Mormon!! I have shoved it down so many throats this week, but I hope they read it! Because it is true! It is powerful! and it connects us to the One who is mighty to save!
Anyway, continuing with the M_ family, J_M_ started talking about how when he found out that his brother wanted to serve the mission he was super proud and excited. Then suddenly the entire family started to cry. They are so close all of them! It is so cute! They started talking about how long two years will be but how worth it it will be. It was so cool! I think it was the first family that I have felt the same kind of love that we have! It was pretty cool. By the end of the lesson I was in tears ... again too! I taught them about the emotional hang over joke. They liked that! They told us that after we left, the dad was way excited and said that we really could come over when he was over. He was on vacations this week though so that is why we could not be with them.
Other than that I had a relatively boring week. I have a great companion and it was definitely my turn to have a hard sector;). I got it! But I really am okay. Life is good! I have been having a lot of really cool experiences with faith these last couple of weeks! Taylor wrote me an AWESOME letter that answered a lot of my questions. I also read Mosiah 24:9-15 replacing the word burdens with doubts, task masters with fear, Amulon with satan, and Alma with my name. That is your homework this week. It is really really interesting!!! The Book of Mormon really is true! I love drinking deeply from the living water that comes from that book. It is my door for revelation. I love looking at logical people and saying take it!!! ... Read it! Try to prove this book wrong! Look for the errors, and while you do that, notice how close you feel to God! I do it with confidence because the power is real and it is real everytime I open it! Share it with someone this week! This world needs the Book of Mormon! Mom and dad you will be surrounded with people who need it! I hope that before you get home someone will have a Book of Mormon that did not before! Taylor, you live all around people who don`t have a Book of Mormon, and Sara, you can give it to your florist or something! I testify that God lives! I know that Christ is mighty to save me! I know that he is Mighty to save each one of us! I love his power and his grace! They are real! We just have to be better at accepting it.
I love you all so very much! Thank you for being my world! I really am a happy missionary testifying of eternal families!
