Well, we had quite a good week here in Puerto! We found a family of 3 and we have been working really hard with them! I feel so strongly that the Lord has prepared this family to accept the gospel! It has also been hard because the family of three that we found quite a while ago that literally had the truth right in front of their face, but just couldn't accept it. And the Lord was literally answering their prayers through us as missionaries. But they hardened their hearts and they didn't pray to know the truth!
I have learned so much from the experiences I have had here in the mission. Like we say as missionaries, as members of the church we need to INVITE others to come unto Christ and as we do that, we will spread the Gospel to every part of the earth as the Lord promised in the scriptures. And I know that as we do that, we give the opportunity to ALL the children of God. But from there they have their agency to accept it or not!
I think I found my favoritest scripture ever! It's in 3 Nephi 5:13. It says, "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life." As members of the church, we are Disciples of Christ and it is our duty to help others and declare the Word of God - so that ALL may have everlasting life!!
I have such a strong testimony of the church. I KNOW with all of my heart that it is true and that when we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, we DO have happiness in our lives. I love all of you so much and I hope we can all strive a little more to help others so that WE ALL can have everlasting life!! Have an amazing week everyone!!
