hey all you wonderful people! i hope that all of you had an awesome week this week! heres a little peek into what i did these past couple of days.
there was a really cool experience that elder irigoyen and i had with the power of the book of mormon!! so we are meeting with this girl named berta, and she has been struggling with trying to see if this is what she wants to do or not. she has been in a predicament with whether or not she should change her whole life or just stay in the catholic church. we have met with her maybe four times before, and she rejected the baptismal date numerous times. we were on the berge of just leaving her, but then we had the idea to talk about mosiah 2 with her, which talks about the meaning of life. we read like half the chapter with her, and at the end of like verse 35, she said,"you know what sucks right now? i actually felt something with this chapter in the book of mormon. all the other times that you guys passed by, i didnt really feel anything, but for some reason, i connect with this chapter." we were trying to talk to her about going to church, but she kept bringing up a whole bunch of doubts and "quehaceres" to do. the spirit was really really strong and she definitely knew what she had to do, but satan wasnt letting her choose! she ended up saying no to the church invitation, but then we put a baptismal date with her, and now we are going to work with her more often! literally so exciting!! i had a really awesome revelation, thanks to my awesome mission president this past week. you know, sometimes people are going to be put with a problem, and then they are going to go to god and ask for the guidance they want. sometimes, people wonder if they receive an answer, is it just their own thoughts or is it revelation from god. this is a very common and very good question! we as his children have the natural urge to look for the truth, and to see whether or not it is satan telling us whats what, or whether or not it is from god. the cool thing is, is that in mornoni 7: 16-18, it says that anything good is from god, and that anything bad is from the devil. so....if your answer brings you closer to christ, then its from god, and it doesnt matter if you thought of it yourself! god always works in many different ways to communicate with his children, so we should be constantly seeking out for these answers in order to draw closer to him! i love each and every single one of you! i hope that you guys have a sick week this week! EKW
