Hola Familia!!!!!
This week we had a lot of surprises! Jose decided he was not interested in progressing in the gospel at the moment. Satan seemed to have gotten to him and he wasn't answering us. When we stopped by he had all of the stuff we had given him tapped up to the wall with a note. It was so very very sad. We went out and found him sitting on a corner and tried to talk to him but he wouldn't talk to us. We decided to leave him with his Book of Mormon because it really touched his life and he felt the spirit of the Book of Mormon change him. I know this is just a road block in his path and that his faith will prevail. Victor also made the decision he will not be getting baptized either. So you could say this week threw a lot at us. It is very difficult to hear things like this and sometimes confusing but I know that God has a greater plan. The gospel gives me great peace to know that heavenly father sees the bigger picture. He sees it all so he knows exactly what each of us needs. Even when we can't understand he is in charge and his plan is perfect. I know that their lives have been touched forever and in all honestly I think they will both be baptized sometime in the future. :) I am just so grateful to have been apart of their conversion process! Missionary work is not always easy but it is so worth it. It is amazing and really an opportunity of a life time.
We are working more with a part member family (kimberly's dad rigo) and it is going great!!! He has a lot of questions and trying to understand how the holy ghost communicates with him to answer his prayers and questions. We had two great lessons this week and we read a few scriptures and we had planned, about the priesthood but he got something completely different from it and there is nothing better than that! That is an answer to prayer him being taught by the holy ghost!
We had the chance to volunteer at the RTC Spring Classic race this Saturday. It was a gorgeous day outside and soo fun! We passed out water as they ran along and I got pretty good at holding it on the plan of my hand and then passing it off so it didn't splash everywhere! :)
We have several new investigators we are working with. Thanks to the blessings of the Lord! This week we were able to share the family proclamation to a mother who is looking to be a better example to her two young daughters. She loved it and agreed with everything. She expressed that she would like to grow the faith of their family and was able to promise herself blessings. I meet them my first transfer here and it has taken us a long time to reconnect but I know they are some of God's chosen people because they have a desire! It all starts with just that!!
I have been learning in the Book of Mormon about Moroni and the valiant man that he was. How he prepared his people for war. We have to prepare for war each day of our lives. We are in an all out battle against the adversary. We have the tools to build our fortifications so we can fight back and conquer. God will always prevail we just have to invite him to our side. Have him help us become stronger than we can be alone.
I love you all. Keep strong in this battle for righteousness. GOoD will prevail!!!!
