It's been a pretty good week here in Zarahemla! Transfer calls are already in a few days; I cannot believe how fast this transfer has gone by. We'll see what happens, it will be my last transfer call! Other than that, we've seen some really cool miracles, and had a few new developments!
We found a super super cool young guy this week that we started teaching. His name is Piero, and he moved here from Peru a few months ago. He's super prepared! We taught him on Wednesday for the first time, and he was just hungry for more... He asked so many amazing questions, and was so willing to learn. He has a very humble character, he is honestly searching for the truth. It's hard to see him often since he works a lot, but he really loves the gospel already, and is committed to learn more! He's super cool!
Horacio is finally committed to be baptized! He should be baptized this week! Like he always says, he will do it "si estoy vivo todavia!" (If I'm still alive)! He's super awesome. We will have his interview tomorrow, and hopefully everything will be good! It's been so cool teaching him, although he's very old, it's cool to see how the Spirit helps him understand. It's been a miracle!
We had a district fast this week to raise our faith in getting people to come to church, and we saw some really cool miracles! Blady, a man who for months we've been trying to get to church, just showed up on his on will! It was amazing! He really loved it, he even gave the closing prayer in Elders Quorum and was very proud of himself. It's so nice that we have a great ward that helps them feel so welcome and loved! It makes such a big difference when they feel love from the members. I hope I am one of those members when I go home!
This Sunday I had the opportunity to give a talk in Sacrament meeting. I talked about how we can receive, recognize, and understand the Spirit. In the Book of Mormon, in 2 Nephi 32:5, we are taught, "For behold, again I say unto you that if ye will enter in by the way, and receive the Holy Ghost, it will show unto you all things what ye should do." What an amazing promise! If we do our part, the Holy Spirit WILL show us everything we need to do. Temporally, as well as spiritually. That is such an amazing blessing! We must constantly and actively work for the guidance of the Spirit, and if we do, we will be guided by the Lord. I know that that is true, I have seen the Spirit help me constantly as a missionary; I can't go a day without its help. It's an amazing gift that God has given us!
Again, everything is going well, It's STILL cold up here, around 9 degrees celcius! But hopefully it will get warmer sooner! I love you all so much, I hope you have a great week.
