Well this week my new companion got here and his name is Elder Espana or Elder Spain in English. I love introducing him to all of our investigators and members here because I get to tell them that my companion is Elder Spain from Mexico. Ha ha!! He's a dang good dude and has a lot of desire to work hard. He's a convert too, just like my other companion. He has only been in the church for two years, so he still doesn't know a lot, but we are both learning a lot being together!!
Anyways, we had a really tough situation this week that I can't really talk about much because there are just certain things we can't write about here. But we are working super, super, super, super hard with a family so that they can get baptized and we're doing all we can to help them. So yesterday they were telling us the problem that they are facing as a family, and as I was listening it was very tough. I almost started crying, but at the same time, I was pleasing with my Heavenly Father to allow me to help them. Two things came into my head. The first was that they needed to have a family council starting and ending with prayer and the second was that they needed to fast and we would fast with them. It was an amazing experience because out of nowhere, the spirit hit me with these two things. It was such a small impression that I had, but so dang powerful as well.
I know that as we listen to the still small voice, we will be guided and directed by the spirit. I love being a missionary and I hope with ALL my heart that we can find a way to help this amazing family. I love each and every one of you and I'm so grateful for you all!! Have an amazing week everyone.
ELDER BLAKE
