Well in the office its all good, the missionaries that are
here are super funny!! I like being an assistant because i get to do
interchanges with other missionaries!! this week we had a zone conference
in Milagro. And after the zone conference we did a division with the zone
leaders, It was a very fun experience 1 cause ive never worked in Milagro so it
was something i had never seen before and 2 we had a very spiritual experience
in a lesson. It a lady named Carla. She has been an investigator
for a while and we had planned to teach the plan of salvation. We came in to
the visit and started teaching and stuff and it was alright. she wasn't that
open to our message. I could tell cause she was hardly paying attention. she
kept playing with her hair and stuff. it was like ya she doesn't care to much
about this, but i waited until the spirit told me what to say. I dont think the
other 2 elders i was with caught on cause they just kept teaching and doing what dad
calls kicking a dead horse haha. but one of the elders started teaching about
life on the earth and our purpose. and while he talking about it he committed
her to go to church which was awesome! cause that is what triggered it!! she
got a big fat smile on her face and i was oh there it is!! So we talked about
attending church!! (by the way here in Ecuador there are a lot of people
that believe in Christ to a certain extent. They believe in a Christ that
doesn't require us to act) So that being said i knew that she was really
showing her faith by going to church. I asked her how she felt in the church
and we talked about why she felt that way. She said that she feels that
she is learning principles and teachings that will help her and the life of her
baby girl. And to me that sounded a lot like you mom!! We helped her
realize for herself that those types of feeling come from God. And why would
God send such strong feelings to a person if he didn't want them to follow
them!! She realized that the church was true that day. and the best part is
that we didn't tell her. She felt it. I am just an instrument in the
hands of God!! The holy Ghost is my boss not my tool!! God controls every
lesson that we teach. if we pray for it and want to serve instead of being
served!!
I know this church is true because the Holy Ghost has done
what he does best, confirmed!! I definitely feel the love of Christ in this
church. I feel it when i pray and when i read the scriptures. especially the
Book of Mormon. I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore
this holy church so that it could perfect us. (dont know if that is a word or
not but its true) Truly this is preparing us for the second coming of our
redeemer. So we can be clean in the presence of our Eternal Father. Love
you guys thanks for all of you prayers i really do feel them and i am very
grateful for them!
