Week 62

(I love this place!!!) 

(Grass an elder bought!! Pretty sick huh? Love the feeling of grass!) 

( the city lights)

This week was pretty dang soild! as a companionship we taught with the spirit and we saw the people changing. We walked rigorously all day, fighting too help the people in the fight of life, sitting and sharing the testimonies of two kids with nineteen years of age. But for what? We Don't get money for this, we don't get cool cars or gifts; we do it so that we can see the people change and enter the way of God. We do it because we have found the happiness and we cant bare the fact that others don't have it here too! We love this Gospel, and would do anything for it because we KNOW its true.  But We   aren't the ones that change the people, we are just the messengers, the Spirit of God is the one that Changes them, that shows them the light and that helps them feel in their hearts. we are just here to bring the spirit to them, and thats what we have worked hard to do! the people felt it this week, they have changed and have come to know that it is the truth!  We are teaching about 15 people, some are progressing faster then others, but all are worth the effort!   We had a bunch of people that were planned to come to church that told us, "ya for sure we will be there" but the sad thing was that no one showed up!!  this really hurt us.. What were we doing wrong???  we got really down on ourselves... we were spiritually drained and hurt; we were being tried... and tried hard... but when we went to our room before lunch,we laid   down and thought and refelcted on what had happened at church. As I did this the  overwhelming feeling of sadness took over me!   I looked to my right and saw the picture of Christ with his hand reached out at me and it came to my mind to read the scripture D&C 122:5-9 thats says,  "know thou, my son, that all these things shall give thee experience, and shall be for thy good." and that "The Son of Man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater than he?"

 9 Therefore, hold on thy way, and the priesthood shall remain with thee; for their bounds are set, they cannot pass. Thy days are known, and thy years shall not be numbered less; therefore, fear not what man can do, for God shall be with you forever and ever."  In that moment, i was filled with the spirit of peace and calmness, that helped me so much! we got up not knowing what was going to happen next but i felt good! the Lord comforted me in my time of need. 

So the day was not all sadness, we did have two people come to church that we didn't expect... To our surprise one of the people that came to church with out our teachings in the week was named emerson.  He invited us to come to his house, when we arrived he asked us, "so i have been thinking and how do i do the baptism thing?" AHHHHHH the Lord blessed us in that moment with more peace and happiness that we couldn't believe what was happening!! we were so happy!! he will be baptized this Saturday! we are visiting him everyday at 6 am and he is so amazing! 

I testify that the Lord blesses us in HIS time, we just have to have faith and keep going hard because all of it is for our experience! this is the true church and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ!!  i love this Gospel! i love my Savior! and i love all of you!
