This week I was able to learn many things that will help me in the future and it was an interesting week to think and work! As funny as it is ha, Daniela and Otavio were not home like the whole week!!My companion is doing great and he is super excited about the work. We have been working harder and harder and we found some people this week that have some potential! We invited all of them to read the Book of Mormon and be baptized when they received answers to their prayers. We were able to teach this man named Heverson and we actually saw him a couple of times through out the week. He came to church on Sunday and afterwards he told us that he liked it but he simply could not accept the fact that we use water instead of wine in the sacrament. He told us that we are going against everything that Christ said in the Bible. As he talked to us after church and as we tried to explain to him what he could do to know if it is true, he hardened his heart and did not want to hear it. Elder Gardner and I were sad that he did that, but happy that we defended the truth and testified of what we know! I pondered a lot about that and I have asked the Lord why people do this. He is responding to me line upon line and I know that He will answer my prayers!! We found a small catholic family and we invited the dad to read the Book of Mormon! I hope that he will read it. I was also able to learn more about humility and charishing the truths that God has revealed.With Kelly and Lucas we were able to talk to them about Marriage and we challenged them to do everything they can to get married in the beginning of July! Lets see if they will. We were also able to talk to the dad of those two kids who arent baptized and we challenged him to think of a date where his kids could be baptized. But mainly I was able to appreciate the truths that we have in the true church of Jesus Christ and the commandments we obey. The Lord showed me many times through out the week how I can be a better person and how the Lord always gives commandments to his people. He doesnt stop. May we all follow the Lord and his will!!
It is so crazy how there are only 5 weeks left in my mission.... Its weird how time goes by so quickly and I havent registered that I will be going home haha which I think is a good thing. As for my big toe it is still the same and not that great ha but today I am going to a doctors appointment and lets see how that goes. I love everything you shared with me mom! We talked about that as well in Sunday School and our testimonies and our preperation for the second coming is so important! I love you so much
