Temple day!
I'm gonna talk about that later....
The funniest thing happened last week! We were in the metro train and I was in the first car.... I was just waiting for my stop and then the train stopped upruptly! I was right in front of the locked drivers door when the train stopped, I was the only one to fall over! Not only did I fall over but I busted the door open to the cockpit where the driver was. He looked back at me like what are you doing kid and everyone in the train was laughing at me! Hey! At least those people aren't going to forget who the missionaries are!
We've met a lot of new people recently! I love teaching new people soooo much! I just love teaching people the restauración! We especially had a really spiritual lesson on a companion exchange I got to do with Elder Mangum! We taught this guy who didn't believe in any churches and told us he absolutely did not think they were necesary. As we taught him about the restauración, he was staring us down paying super close attention. It was so hard to teach him at the same time because he had this puppy that was literally eating my hand off and it hurt so bad while I was sharing the first vision with him. I wanted to react to it but he was staring straight at me and so interested. The Lord helped me ignore the fact that my hand had been chewed off in that moment though. We really felt the spirit despite all that was being done by the dog to distract us. We were able to invite this man to be baptized and he accepted! It was a super super cool experience!
I think the temple gets better and better every time we go. I can't share too much but I can share that the way I felt today being in the temple was absolutely one of the most incredible things I've ever felt! I truly know that the temple is the house of the Lord! If there is anyone reading this, go to the temple this week. Maybe you have doubts, go to the temple. Maybe you haven't done everything in the temple yet, prepare to go to the temple! It will change your life.
There is something I want people to know about THE MORMONS... our message is not to convince you that the Book of Mormon is true because it makes sense that Jesus Christ went to America and that there were inspired men there. Our message is to not show you that there are good people who are mormons and for that reason this is a good thing. Our message is not even that this church is true because of any other factor. Our message is that God speaks to us. Our message is that if you read the Book of Mormon and come to church, BUT most of all if you have desires to follow God and if you pray to ask him if this message is true, he will reach out to you! The Lord will fill you with his love, He will answer you very clearly, and He will change your entire life as you follow this path! We are not here to tell you, but He will show and tell you this is true as you do your part. As missionaries of this church, we teach people how they can do their part. It's a glorious experience to watch the Lord change the lives of others as they follow these things, and it's amazing to watch him change your life as you do the same! I know this is true because THE LORD HAS TOLD ME SO MANY TIMES! What I have felt here is the most real feeling of love I know. I invite people everywhere to come experience this joy too!
Have a great week and go on a mission!
Love you guys
