HIGHLIGHTS:
our investigator, fernanda, is getting baptized this sunday!! she´s already received all of the lessons, and is super excited for the day to finally come! she has a strong testimony of the book of mormon, and has been able to make connections to her personal life from what she reads. she says, "i try to put myself in the place of the person it´s talking about, and it makes it all the more real to me..." how awesome is that! she´s a really sweet, humble person, and i know she´s going to be a great addition to the branch
we have been focusing on miracles lately, and we`ve seen MANY this week! on wednesday every single one of our plans (and back-up plans) failed, and we were left a little confused as to what to do. we stopped for a moment on a street corner and thought about it, when all of a sudden it occurred to us to visit an investigador, silvia, who has had a baptisnal date before, but has been unable to meet with us because of her work schedule. we went to her house without calling or anything, and there she was! she`d asked her boss to be able to go home early because she was super tired, but was super happy to receive us all the same! we reassured her that all was well, and that she could still prepare to be baptized in the coming weeks, and she accepted! it was clearly a miracle that came after MUCH perseverance through trial, and through listening to the spirit. i`m so glad the lord loves us enough to try us and help us grow and depend more on him.
this week we were able to focus a lot on temples and the miracle of eternal families through faith and obedience (see moroni 7:26-29) i love the temple and the blessing to be able to be in the heavens with my family forever and ever. i love this gospel!
read (for the second time!) an excellent talk by elder uchtdorf called ¨the merciful obtain mercy" that i want to share with everyone, and i hope that you will all please read it! i learned about the need to forgive, and that the only way to truly achieve it is through the pure love of christ!
sorry i don`t have time for more! love you lots!
