This week was good. We had zone conference which is always amazing! We talked about becoming more holy. This means to endure and do the things of a disciple of Chirst and develop a personal relationship with God and submit ourselves to his will. He knows what is best for us and if we humbly come unto him, he will bring things to our attention that we can change in our lives.
I see examples of people doing this every day! I love the people here. They are so strong and full of faith and such great examples to me. I learn something from the people here every day.
We had a baptism of our good friend Abel this Saturday! He is so great! When we first started talking with him we asked if he believed in God and Jesus Christ he said he believed in "something". Three weeks later he told us he had been reading the Book of Mormon and coming to church and he wanted to be baptized. His parents weren't too keen on the idea of him being a member of this church but he told them it is something he wanted and they agreed to support him in his decision. His baptism was beautiful. He shared a simple but powerful testimony of the restored gospel (which in and of itself was a miracle because he is SUPER shy like superrrrr shy). Its been amazing to see him change his life. You can tell he is happier now. He is such an example to me of walking with faith. Not many people supported his decision but he knew it was the right thing to do and he trusted in his Savior to help him in his journey.
We also have another really good friend. She is a mom of 2 kids and she has been taking our English classes and inviting us over to talk about the gospel. She is so sweet. She started talking about her husband who is in the hospital right now. I thought that he just worked a lot but actually he was in a tragic accident. She said he can finally come home in a month. It's been really hard on her and her family. She says she has a lot of faith in her Savior and prays to him everyday for strength. She is amazing. She teaches me that we can get through anything when we rely on the Savior. He knows our circumstances and will carry us through the hard times because he loves us.
I've really seen here on the mish that everyone has their thing that they have to deal with or go through. It's a part of life. I also know that our trials can be a lot easier when we look to the lord and press forward in faith. Its easier said than done but we've got a while to practice jaja.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming please!! Have a great week! Hablamos pronto.
