Scripture

2 Nephi 31:20

Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.

Ten months!

10 months!
This week was a great week with a lot of walking and clapping our hands in front of houses and no one opening their door, but at the end of the week it all payed off. On Monday, we had our district activity and made tacos and had a water balloon fight which was really fun. But we ended our day so tired because were used to rest on Pday. On Tuesday, I completed 10 months, woohoo and how fast. It’s disgusting how fast time is going, I love the mission so much, I don’t want it to end. We taught a woman named Ana Maria, she’s from Colombia and lived in Atlanta for 10 years with her husband, they got married there and she speaks perfect English. It’s great. We taught her the restoration with the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon literally has so much power to help people know that this is the only true church on the earth. She was one of the miracles we had this week because was only one of the people that wanted to learn more and became an investigator! We passed by a lot of less active members this week that are a little cold with their testimonies. We’ve been focusing a lot in trying to strengthen the ward because they want to feel united and the love in their ward just don’t know how. That’s why every Wednesday we have family home evening in the church so that the members can invite their friends and all their family and enjoy the night together. This week a lot of people showed up to the FHE. It was great because we bought pizza for everyone and it was just so cute with all the families and just everyone together. On Thursday we taught a less active family, and we applied what our president wants us to do and be direct with the people. When were baptized and we have the covenant or promise with our Heavenly Father that we will obey every commandment and do all we can so that we can return to his presence. If we don’t attend church were not clean and were not going to return to his presence. The importance that we can do everything to be happy and be pure like him and his son Jesus Christ. So that’s what we taught this family, and they promised they’d come to church on Sunday. Only part of their family came to church but they are trying which is good. we’ve been talking to a lot of people every day and one of the street contacts we did was with two young woman. They’re friends and live together, we gave them a BOM and said that will visit them this Saturday and teach them more about this book. So we went to their house Saturday and taught them and perfectly just a few days before we showed up to their house they were listening to other churches and didn’t feel good with them. We taught them the Restoration and set a date for baptism! 28th of January. We’re praying that they meet their baptismal date. And on Sunday was the last miracle, one of our contacts during the week names Juan came to church because we invited him and he’s been passing his life with a lot of problems of health. He came to church and we set a date for him also to be baptized 28th of January also. I know that when we put all our heart and energy into something we want to complete with all our faith in the Lord, The Lord will always to his part and even more so that these people and all his children can return his presence. I love the gospel with all my heart and I know that life is sometimes complicated or we don’t feel clean or sad or worthy or that we need to have zero problems to do things concerning the gospel. But I want to testify that with the Lord by our side through times like these, moments in our lives can change and our perspective of our life will change to be something beautiful. I love you all and have a great week!
