Heeey Fam!
This week was really really solid! Definitely did not want to miss the opportunity to write home about a couple of the things that happened!
First off, we had an awesome ward activity this last weekend! We went to this park and played a ton of water games! We found a really cool guy at the activity who came with his niece named David! We asked him if he wanted to come to church and listen to the lessons and he said yes to both! He came to church and really had a great time! Then we had an amazing lesson with him the other day! It's crazy how the spirit can direct you exactly what to do during the lessons! I was on an exchange for this lesson with another missionary and we both felt really strongly like we needed to have a lot of pauses throughout the lesson! He had really really good questions and after answering his questions, there were long pauses. It wasn't awkward at all! In fact, we could see that during the pauses he was really processing everything in his head and by knods of approval, we could tell that the spirit was really testifying to him that our message was true! It was a cool thing to see the spirit really testify to him during those moments! I really hope David can keep progressing because he is really prepared spiritually!
Another great thing that happened this week was that our friend Jerónimo got baptized! The service was awesome! Everything went over really smooth despite a few little complications. The best part of the whole baptism though was Jeronimo's testimony! It was so awesome because he shared in his testimony how the gospel had really touched his heart and changed him. He hadn't really shared all those things with us yet! It was a really really powerful testimony! I also felt the spirit super super strong after it all was over and we were singing the Spirit of God! I felt so good during the song and so grateful for my mission and all the opportunities I have had to help people see the truthfulness of the gospel in their lives!
Today we went to the temple again! What an experience! So we went through the session and at the end I was just sitting there thinking in the temple a little bit! I went to the temple a little bit preoccupied about some things but I grabbed some scriptures. I just opened them up and on the very first chapter and on the very first verse I found exactly what I needed! It only got better as I kept reading too! The Lord lead me exactly to the words I needed to read today and I am so grateful for the spirit I felt there in the temple!
Go to the temple this week my friends and have an awesome day!
