Elder Wagner Arequipa, Peru : Week 88

(Baptism of this little sweet heart!)

this week was another great week for the books! i love when we work hard the Lord blesses us, but its usually after the trial of faith, like it says in Ether. i know thats true! if we keep our covenants, He always blesses us! this week we have had a ton of fun, teaching the families and helping them remember their covenants, by following the spirit.

Yesterday we got the chance to teach a member family that is progressing a ton! they are starting to attend church and come closer to the Lord. The lesson was kinda hard with them... the mom was being a bit stubborn and didn't feel like she could get better! she said she didn't know where to start or what to do... but we weren't alone, the Spirit was with us and whispered to us saying, "what am i missing?" and that was it! there was a talk, that the Authority challenged us to ask God in a humble prayer, "what am i missing?" or in other words "what can i do better"? we told her that as the spirit prompted us along the way and she opened up! She needed to ask "what I'm i missing or could do better"... she came to understand that that was exatly what she needed to do and she promised to do it! ASK

i know that if we follow the spirit, it will give us the answer to our prayers, we will always know what to say, do, and where to go! He is always there to help and guide us! Do your work and stay worthy of his presence! it was a cool experience to see how she brightened up and how it clicked in her head what to do! now its up to her too do her part! like it says in 2 Nephi, "cheer up your hearts and remember that ye are free to act for yourselves." we are free to act and thats enough reason to cheer up and choose the right always!
