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.

Great week but hard week

Hey Hey Hey!
This week was so great but a little hard, but great. Haha. If that makes sense. Let me just start off by saying that when we are in a place at a specific moment, we are there for a reason. Teaching a lesson in the temple with Marita, an investigator that only has interest in learning English but my companion and I felt that it’s time to change the routine and teach lessons. We asked her to be baptized in the temple after we taught the Plan of Salvation, which was such a spiritual, experience because the Holy Ghost was so strong and so powerful during the lesson. She accepted the invitation to be baptized and I just know that she will receive an answer that this is the true church. We promised her blessings and I have never felt so guided by the spirit during a lesson ever in my entire mission until this moment. Heavenly Father works miracles when we actually listen to him and speak words through the Holy Ghost. Marita is 52 years old and has two kids, and a husband. They are very Catholic, but she just wants to feel the love, peace and blessings in her life because she has problems in her family and I just know The Gospel is what will help her and is what she needs. When we were walking around the temple in the gardens, I saw two members from Claypole and we invited them to accompany us in the lesson in the temple. It was so awesome. I just loved having the connection with my area anterior. 

Though Gods children are always prepared to listen to the gospel and follow the correct direction, doesn’t mean that they’re ready for baptism right now, everything is in the Lords time. Maria said that she doesn’t want to listen to us anymore and doesn’t want to have the lessons. I don’t know why, were going to visit her this week to find out exactly what happened. With this experience, I just felt so much love for Maria and just want her to feel the love I feel in the gospel. All we can do right now though, is pray that her heart will be softened and that we’ll be able to find out what her need is. 

Las Hermanas Son Bendecidas!
We have 4 members that want to wash our clothes for us. It’s great because we don’t ever have laundry to do and don’t have to wash our clothes by hand or my soap. Haha. The members in this ward are so awesome. 
One of the recent converts, Candela, she is 13 years old and wants to leave and walk around and visit people with us. She has so much animo and just loves the gospel. So she accompanied us on Saturday and practically was the missionary talking to everyone. I love it because she now wants to serve a mission because of us and helping her experience a little part of missionary work. 
Raining all day yesterday!

When it’s raining it’s so hard to talk to people and literally no one opens their doors but members do! Haha. So we clapped in front of a family’s house to take cover and they let us in. And to make us even happier, they made waffles for us. Woohoo! Haha. It’s the little things in the mission that makes missionaries so happy. 
I’m going to give you guys a challenge this week. Try to smile more, smile when you’re angry, smile when someone cuts in front of you when you’re driving. I know that if you do this you will feel the spirit so much more in your life. Entonces, Lo Hara? Will you do it?

I love you guys and have a good week!
