The song in princess diaries, miracles
happen once in a while when you believe,(haha kell) is way incorrect.
They happen all the time! Every day infact. Carlos was baptized Saturday!!
It was such a special and rewarding experience. I have been working
with him since I got here, and to see him finally enter the waters of
baptism was incredible. He was so happy and his wife, Olga. She bore her
testimony and explained how she had been waiting for 30 years for this
day. And I thought waiting 3-4 months felt long! haha. Anyways the Lord
is working so many miracles. And they are right in front of our faces.
Jess your story you wrote is incredible. I think I
read it five times this week. This life is full of difficulties and
tests. The trick is relying on the Lord and coming out of trials
refined, not damaged-like you said! The command the Lord has for us to
¨¨be ye therefore perfect,¨¨ is only possible through our own personal
suffering and learning here on the earth. In our past District meeting
we were talking about the example of Jesus Christ, and how he was sent
to earth, he suffered, died, and was resurrected. We also, were sent
here on missions, suffer our own trials, give up our old selves and give
ourselves to the Lord, and come out a changed, disciple of Christ. I´m
thankful for this life and for the things the Lord allows us to learn
through trials out of his love.
This week was fun, we started teaching a couple,
Karina and Tosheo and Karina is from Brazil! I love her accent. She
also speaks English, and Japanese! I was explaining about the Book of Mormon and I couldn´t remember a word and Karina said, you can say it in
English! ha I froze because I forgot how to speak English too. haha She
told me I could teach in English. But then I said my companion wont
have an idea what we were saying. haha So we stuck with spanish. But
that was kind of fun! It´s hard for her to understand the language of
the scriptures in Spanish, so we are going to see if we can get one in
portugeuse.
Hope y'all have a great week! remember to recognize,
and record and thank the Lord for all the miracles you see each day,
they are all around us!
Love y'all lots!
