So we did not have transfers! I am SO happy! this means that sister Warburton and I will celebrate thanksgiving, thirteen months, christmas, and new years together! and we celebrated one year the past transfer. SO many things to celebrate. We are planning on having root beer floats with Axel and Rox for thanksgiving since its hard to find good pie here.... Oh hey mom could you still send me those récipes? there are a few members who keep asking me for them. Thanks!
Well our recent converts came to church and stayed for all of it! Angelica came and it was the first time she had come since I had gotten here. Axel and Rox came and it was SO good to see them! they're doing good. We explained to them that there is only one church and that they can't pray to the saints of the catholic church, it was hard especially for Axel because it was his whole childhood and he told us that he felt really confused about all of it, but they are praying to know if the book of mormon is true and as they continue to do that they will become stronger and stronger.
We are really excited for this transfer. We're hoping that Josue will get baptised. he had a pretty big accident on his motorcycle and his face is all scratched up and swollen and he was in a coma for an hour but we are hoping that things progress now. He's a really good friend of the Placencia family and they really want to help us out with him. So he's already got friends in the Ward :)
We haven't been able to get our investigators to church lately but we hoping on this sunday that it will all work out. That we'll at least get Jenny and Josue and hopefully Efren (he's a new investigator we met last week. he's promising we'll see what happens.) and maybe Ivon, (she's also new) and hopefully other future investigators, Maybe monolo will show up again.
Well thank you all for your prayers and support. I really appreciate it. I'm so grateful to know all of you, for all of your support and love that yo have shown me. I want you to know that I have a strong testimony of the Book of Mormon. O know that its the Word of GOd that its here for us to grow closer to Him, its here to be read, its here to be studied. Its not a pretty decoration for the book shelf or the table in the family room. We need to get to know it, we need to read it to understand what our Heavenly Father wants for us. There are a lot of things coming in the future and we need to be prepared, we need to prepare our children, maybe these things won't all happen in our lives but in the lives of our children or grandchildren it will and we need to do our part in strengthening them and helping them grow closer to Christ by setting the example
Well keep Reading and studying! keep praying and following the voice of the spirit. If you feel lost you can find rest in the words of the prophets both ancient and living. if you feel like your trials are to much remember the trials that christ had and then look at your trials as an honor because you get to walk side by side with Him. Then be humbled to know that you'll NEVER has to experience something like He did (unless of course you don't repent D & C 19:15-20) and that He's willing to help you out and to lighten the burden so that you can hardly feel it upon your backs (mosiah 24:14-15).
Anyways I love you all have an excellent week!
