Hola familia!!!
hope all is going great and smoothly up north. things are going well here down south. the heat is kicking up again which is nice. sad to say but after living here for the last little while i have gotten more used to the heat. i can say that my old thick Minnesotan blood is almost gone. everything is getting a bit more chilly everyday. its ok though.
this last week we saw a bunch of miracles. we were able to find a golden family that is a part member family who lives in the perfect spot. RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE CHURCH!!!! how perfect is that. it is arnaldo and blanca who just had their first kid about 5 days ago or so. he is a member as of 5 or so years. got baptized in ercanacion which is on the other side of the country closer to brasil and argentina. this week we really have been focusing on working with the spirit. to have him constantly with us and to be able to follow the impressions that we receive. a big thing that I'm personally trying to do is listen to the spirit more in the lessons so it is less teaching a lesson and more teaching the person. this week we were able to go on divisions with some other missionaries in our zone and we had two great spirit powered lessons. after we told them about the first vision i asked them how they felt in that moment. every time they said that they felt something different. there is a promise in 'preach my gospel' on how if we confide in the spirit and that we focus in seeing the spirit work in them we will be able to see the progress and the spirit will testify to them the truthfulness of Christ's gospel.
having that be our focus we are working more on how we are going to be helping people come to church on Sundays so that they can be baptized this month. we are working on this with the entire zone. some stress comes when things aren't turning out as they should but as long as you depend on the Lord and find what he wants you to learn it is all good. as my favorite quote "circumstances don't determine happiness". just gotta put on a smile and be happy and do what we gotta do. declare the true restored gospel of Jesus Christ. This week is going to be amazing i know that it will!!!
i know that this is Christ's true church on the earth and i am so blessed that i have this opportunity to be able to serve him everyday and to dedicate myself to this incredible work. i know that the book of mormon is true. i love you all and you are always in my thoughts and in my prayers!!!
