Fun fact! Here they burn fireworks for the new year and for christmas. But yesterday was even crazier than Christmas. I was sleeping peacefully in my bed and at 12:00 on the dot I was woken up by all the fireworks. It was definitely a struggle to get back to sleep. But eventually I slept.
This week was a week absolutely full of miracles. Really, I testify that this is the Lord's work, he is directing and leading and preparing and constantly working to save his beloved children. I can't even begin to talk about all the miracles we saw this week. But one that really stuck out to me I will share.
So we met an investigator whose name is Rudy. The first lesson we had went terribly. He was asking us questions trying to better us (now if we think about it, a man with 40+ years trying to better two young adults who have twenty years of age really says something, good or bad, just think about it), had no faith and really just wanted to argue. He also told us he was reading the Book of Mormon looking for mistakes. But the second lesson was the miracle. At the end of the first lesson my lovely companion invited him to pray and ask if the Book of Mormon was true and we read Moroni 10:3-5 with him. We came to the second lesson nervous and if I'm being honest, i arrived dreading how it was going to go. But the second I walked into the house everything was different. The spirit was present and he actually asked us to share a message with him. The spirit was so strong I was able to invite him to be baptized. I didn't have words to speak because the spirit was so strong. I also asked him if the Book of Mormon was true and he said yes! So we are going to keep working with him and see how it goes.
I invite all of you to read again, the talk titled The Book of Mormon- A Book From God by Elder Tad R. Callister. The church is true and the book is blue!
No, but really every day I am here working and being lead by the Spirit. I´ve been in Guatemala 6 months and it still feels like a dream. I am so blessed to be able to serve my Father in Heaven. I know the church is true, and I know that without a restoration we wouldn't have the fullness of the gospel. I know that our Father in Heaven loves us and always listens to our prayers. I know that Jesus Christ, our brother atoned for our sins. He died so that we can be made clean. The goal of life is to walk by faith so that we can return and live with our Heavenly Father after we have completed our life on earth. I know that my Father in Heaven has a plan for me and for each one of my brothers and sisters here on earth. I hope all is well, and don't forget to make and set goals in the new year!
Con mucho amor,
