Being Super Late and the Atonement

This week we had a very beautiful experience wiht one of our investigadors, Pati. Well it all starts out wiht a few different specific prayers. First off, our ride was late..like super late lol. haha so we both prayed like crazy that it would start late and that shed be able to experience it fully. Also we prayed that she would feel the importacne of it. We finally got therte..20 minutes late with the family and it hadnt started yet! About seriously 2 minutes after we arrived, they started the service. Im so grateful! The whole experience was beautiful. She was in awe. Then after we watched the three people be baptized, as we were waiting for them to change. We asked her how she feels and what she thinks about it all. And she replied to us that she feels like baptism is v ery important becasue Gos receives you when you are baptized. It was so beautiful adn amazing that she understood it. Then she explainded thta she needs to tlak wiht her family because she wants to follow through with the decision. She is so humble and has such a pure heart. She has truly great desires to follow Christ. Im so grateful fdor the opportunity i have to be able to get to know her and be able to see her progress. She went from someone who wanted to adn tried killing herself and hearing voices to the most happiest person i know who feels like she has so much light in her life nopw and wants to follow God will 100%. Shes amazing.

Im so grateful for missionary work and that we get eh great opportunity to be in the front row seats to the greatest work of all times, the application of the atonement in peoples lives. So beautiful. Im so grateful for my Savior that made it all possible. I love this gospel! I love you all!

This Week Has Been Amazing!

We´ve seen so many miracles! Something that was really interesting that happened this week was during a lesson that we had with a new investigador. As we were teaching him we ended up realizing that he was attached with the missionaries in general than in God really. We were really affected by this so we felt like we needed to explain about how he needs to put his trust and faiht in God. Hes been an investigador that other missionaries have taught for years. Later on in the lesson, he basically denied Christ and didnt have love for Him or God. I really felt the Spirit bear a strong witness to me how wrong he was for thinking so.. and felt the need to testify to Hijm by the Spirit of what I know. The Spirit strengthened me as I testified and acted on my faith. Its interesting how much opposition helps us to grow. My testimony kept growiing stronger as i testified of Christs reality and how He is our Savior and how God is our Father and of His gospel. I know that a trestimony is definitely found in the bearing of it. My testimoy even grew more that day.

I havbe always had a testimony of Chirst and God but i know that my testimony grew so much that day becasue of how much opposition there was. I often think about all the expereinces that people have had where right before having an extreme manifestation of God,  there reached great opposition. Opposition is necessary and a very important part of our life and eternal progress. I felt it even more that day...and every day. Its through oppostion that people grow. Its during those tiems of peacew that we need to prepare us even more for when those great opportunities to grow come our way. :) We need to be at all times growinig and preparing in some way. Its the purpose of this life. God wants us to become like Him and get to know Him even more but if we dont go through those times of peace and opposition, we cannto succeed. We should be thankful fro every opportunity. I am so gratefl for the opostiona nd the peace that we receive daily. I testify that it helps us to grow if we always put our confidence in God and His mercy and as we use the great gift of the atonement. :) I know that if we always act of our faith or even desires to belive for those starting out that we will receive continual manifestatiosn of God and His reality and power. I know that as we act on promptings of the Spirit that we will continually be able to have peace adn that every oportunity will be for our eternal benefit and joy. I know that Jesus is the Christ. I knwo that God is our Heavenly Father. I testify of their reality and love for each one of us adn that it is true, pure and eternal. I testify that they are loving and perfect beigns with a great purpose to help us receive eteranl life and return to our heavenly home. I know that They will prepare us if we continue or start acting on Their wise and perfect counsels.

I love all of you!
