Firstly we have been seeing some MAJOR progress in the family of Ivis and Josue, as I think I explained before they have been making some huges changes within their family. This week we were able to teach about the Law of Tithing, which before Josue had commented to his wife that their savings would be too tight if they payed tithing, as we taught and read the promised blessings that we can receive from Malachias, when we challenged Josue to pay his tithing he said "I`ll pay, because I need more peace in my home, and more blessings". It is so awesome to see people understanding that in return for our faith to God, he is obligated to bless us (DC 82:10).
We had a baptism this Saturday and it was crazy because the pila water was running BLACK and last minute we had to change church buildings, and that was a huge mess because changing buildings meant we had to find transportation for everyone that was to arrive and make sure that there are clean rooms available and in the end it turned out to be huge miracle, and so many people showed up! And Ivis and Josue showed up without anyone picking them up to drive them there we still dont know how they arrived they are so awesome!!! And then Sunday we found out that the pila water had started runnning clear again... All part of Satan`s failed to plan to prevent the baptisms but God wins!! Ya!!
Then Sunday we were passing by the house of Ivis and Josue, and we were surprised to see only Ivis there, and she then told us that she had said that she didn`t want to go (and she was kidding) and Josue just responded "eso es tu rollo" or in other words "you do your thing" and then Josue and two of the little girls had already left walking to church!!!!! You guys don`t understand every week I am amazed at the change that is going on with them they are so so awesome and they are selling hamburgers this week to pay for their wedding!!! AH!!
..and then not to mention that the sacrament talks were about how to gain a personal testimony, tithing, and fasting. Everything is so inspired. I love God.
A couple of different things that I realized this week.
Before when I would read the Book of Mormon, whenever I got to chapters that talked about the doctrine of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, I feel like I didn`t really understand what I was reading and would end up missing out on really beautiful points of doctrine. This week we taught to a women who feels really weighed down by a lot of sin and like she can never receive the forgiveness of God, we shared in Alma 7:14 that says " 14 Now I say unto you that ye must repent, and be bornagain; for the Spirit saith if ye are not born again ye cannotinherit the kingdom of heaven; therefore come and bebaptized unto repentance, that ye may be washed fromyour sins, that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, whotaketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to saveand to cleanse from all unrighteousness.". It is such a blessing to know that no matter what we have done or how unclean we may feel, Jesus Christ is powerful to clean and purify ALL INIQUITY.
I love you!!!! have a good week!!
