Hola Familia!!!
I had a really neat and humbling experience this past week The mission is =hard and I have had some trying moments but I have never not wanted to leave the house and go to work but recently at times I have felt this way. And for some reason last week I was having crazy feelings like something was going to happen to Hay Bay and my mom on their road trip to Idaho (I am so g=lad you left a day later with the roads being how they were). To say the least I was feeling pretty down on Thursday.We had just finished planning for the week all the things we needed to do to help our investigators progress. I wanted to called our branch president
and ask for a blessing and right then our phone rang, it was him. He wasnt calling us to offer me a blessing he was calling to tell us that the brother of our convert Maxi (whose name is Lautaro) just called and wants=to listen to the discussions (he listened to us once before but has been avoiding us ever since). He said to call his wife and set up a time we could do it in their house. When I called her she said I am going to
let you in on a little secret he wants to be baptized!Tears just flowed from my eyes. My comp was just staring at me wondering why I was crying and I am sure the presidents wife was a little stunned too but I couldnt hold back the tears. They were tears of joy. In that moment the scripture in Alma 26:27 came to life for me Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto =you success.I know that this church is true. I know that Joseph Smith was a prophet an=d he restored the keys of the priesthood on this earth once again never, never to be taken from the earth again. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it will bring us comfort and guide us in our lives.I love you all. KEEP THE FAITH!!!
