Stories:
The only stories this week come from Sunday. There is a recent convert family that we`re good friends with. They recently got sealed in the temple! So thats awesome. But it turns out this past Sunday, they presented their son and gave him a blessing in sacrament meeting. And they asked me to participate in the blessing! It was awesome! It was funny though because their son is like 6? I believe. haha So he just sat in a chair. But I felt so happy to be able to participate in that and that they had asked me to do that! So that was awesome and it made me super happy. And it surprised me cuz it was only the hermano, me, and another good family friend in the blessing. He hadnt asked anyone else! So i considered it a great honor :)
The other thing is that same family also invited us to pass by their house that night because it was the Hermana`s birthday that day. So we also felt honored to get invited to that, and so we passed by and gifted them one of those "The Family: A Proclamation to the World" cards in a little frame, with a note atras! haha. So that was awesome. Those are my stories. haha.
Investigator Updates:
Mauricio: We`re sì o sì going to have a baptism next week! Its a SUPER long story that ill have to share another day when I have more time. But Mauricio is going to get baptized next sunday! Woo hoo!! So we`re super excited about that!
Rodrigo: We`re hoping and praying ALOT to have TWO baptisms this next week! We`re working with Rodrigo and he has a baptismal date for this next sunday, but he is less seguro. So we`re going to be working hard with him this week to grow his faith in God so that he gets an answer that the things were sharing really are true, so that he`ll also be baptized on sunday!! Keep him in your prayers!
Varinia: Shes a really awesome investigator. Ive never had an investigator that feels the spirit so much! She feels the spirit really really strongly and is commited to baptism. She just has problems with time management so we gotta help her prioritize spiritual things and temporal things haha. If taht makes sense...
So were doing super good here in Lautaro! We`ve got some good people lined up and were super excited. Alma 26:27 has held to its promise, and after trudging through all the difficulties we`ve had recently, we`re starting to see the HUGE amount of blessings we`re receiving for our faith! We´re extremely happy and grateful for it. TRUST in the Lord! His word is true and faithful. I love how in Alma 42 it talks about how God would cease to be God if something he said didn´t come to pass. Because then he wouldnt be perfect. He would make a mistake. But its not like that! God IS God. He IS perfect. And his word is true and faithful. And he WILL bless us for our patience, faith, and faithfulness, because that`s what He has said! So he`ll keep to His word.
anyway. Thats all ive got time for. I love you and miss you all LOTS! Keep our investigators in your prayers! And me please :) haha. I love you and miss you all! Have an awesome week! Chau!
