HEY HEY HEY!!!!
things are going wonderfully here in beautiful ka´aguy rory!!!
this last week we were able to see the wedding and baptism of Roberto and Mirta. I would send you a bunch of pictures but unfortunately we are on the computers today that you can't connect anything to them. one day though you will see it. the spirit was there and it was amazing. we were kinda nervous to start because not that many members had arrived but when the baptism and the wedding came along there were not a ton of members but the right members were there. Roberto is a security guard who works nights and comes to church right after work which is incredible!!! he has a lot of faith and wants to follow the Lord. it is so amazing how through the spirit and the book of mormon all can come to know that God's true church has been restored to the earth again. Mirna is going to have their first child in about 5 months or so. its going to be such a blessing to have your children be born into the gospel. i know because i have seen the fruits of it. we are also planning for two more baptisms this week. and another wedding!!! Petrona and emilio are going to get married and he is going to get baptized, and then tomorrow we are going to get the permission from a parent of a miguel martinez who wants to be baptized as well. so many miracles happening every day and truly the lord is preparing his sheep to hear and recognize his voice. what a blessing it is that i have to be a missionary to declare this gospel and invite my brothers and sisters to come unto the savior!!!!
this last week we had an amazing lesson last monday night. we contacted a man on the street and he asked us for the book of mormon. we asked him if he would read it and he said of course so we gave it to him and set up a visit. we got there monday night and it was the most simple yet amazing lesson in the world. the spirit wasn't super strong or powerful but you could tell that he was there testifying to this man the truth of the restored gospel of christ. after explaining the book of mormon and the restoration to him we asked him what he was feeling. he said that he was feeling this different warmth inside of him and that something inside of him was just telling him that he needs to read the book of mormon because it will help him come to know the true church of christ. WOW!!!! his prayer was even more amazing. sadly we are not sure if he lives here in asuncion or in ciudad del este but either way he's gonna get baptized.
another miracle, we were walking down the street searching to find a family prepared to receive the gospel. we contacted some kids and a man pulled by and said. hey are you guys mormons. with a huge smile - we said yes we are. we are the missionaries. he told us how he wanted all of the pamphlets and books that we could give him. we gave him a book of mormon and invited him to read it to know if it was true. he told us that he worked in park city for four months and has alot of friends who are members. he doesn't live in our area, but the lord has prepared him and si o si he is going to be baptized.
just some short thoughts and fun stories. things are going wonderfully this is the lords work i have no doubt of that. this is his church and the book of mormon is true. testifying of its truthfulness just brings something inside of you that you cannot describe. on weds we are meeting Elder Jorge Zaballos of the area presidency it is going to be incredible!!! i can't wait. its going to be a spiritual and revelation waterfall!!!
love you all hope all of the start ups of school stuff goes well!!!
always in my thoughts and prayers
