This was just another great week. I guess every week is a good one while on the mission but this one got me pumped up! Tamara, one of our investigadores, was baptized this past week. The water was colder than ice because the heater was broken but it was still amazing! Tamara is so excited because she has waited a few years now to be able to be baptized.
Last night we had a lesson with tamara and her family. Her step dad is planning to be baptized in the next month the only thing is that he and tamaras mom have to get married first. But they are excited. But in the lession last night, the mom shared with us that these past few weeks have been a blessing. She said that she cant believe that she has come back to the church and that her family is where they are. We talked about how God has a plan for all of us. We shared the story about how we found her and her family and it brought tears to her eyes to know that Heavenly Father loves her.
I dont know if I ever said how we found them but the Bishop said we should pass by and visit them. We passed by about 4 times but they were never home. One night we were on our way home with about 10 mins to spare and they came to our mind. So we passed by really fast and it was a miracle...we found them! And that is how it all started. It seems so simple but it is truely a mircle that Heavenly Father brought them to our mind in the precise moment when we needed to pass by. Miracles!!!!
Something from General Conference that really impacted me and I dont know if I said it last week but was this; Many of the Apostles said that they do not know exactly what we need personally but Heavenly Father does. I loved that because in life we want answers and when we want anwsers we go looking for them. The most beatiful blessing that we have as sons and daughters of our Father in Heaven is that He has all of the answers. We can take our questions or problems to Him.
I am so greatful to know that I can know God and Jesus Christ here on earth...we all can! What a maravelous concept. We do not have to wait until after we die to know God and Jesus Christ.
Thank you so much for all your prayers, faith, and diligence. Go with faith with the MIRA PUESTA UNICAMENTE EN LA GLORIA DE DIOS!
Love you all
