Hello everyone!
This week was good and the area is dangerous. Nothing has happened us, and I don't think anything will. Prayers are always appreciated. Also prayers of health, I'm worried I'm going to have a cough and a cold soon. We also spend a ton of quetzales every day. Its because our area is so big that we don't walk anywhere. It's very little that we walk. We take taxis, buses, tuctuc. All of which you have to pay for. It's also the area of hills and mountains. But the views are wonderful!
I'm in another small district of only four missionaries so that's fun. The work is good. We are here working super hard. There is lots of potential here. My companion is good also. We are still working on the obedience, but little by little.
Today I want to testify of the power of questions but even more important of answers and of asking with a sincere heart and real intent. The times that I've had my questions answered it has been because they have been tugging at my heart strings and hoping with every part of my being that I would receive an answer. It's because I have received a ton of answers this week. Really, believe me, he listens, he cares, and he loves!
We had a cool experience with two of our investigators this week. It's that they have desire to be baptized but the husband doesn't feel worthy to attend church because of some of his past mistakes. And, they have to have attended church in order to be baptized. So in this lesson I felt like a tape recorder on replay. Telling him that as long as we keep trying and repent sincerely that its like that that we can receive forgiveness. There, is also the problem of his work, which is that he works on sunday which is why he hasn't been able to attend church. We originally had plans that he was going to attend church three weeks continuously but then he it turns out he got called into work. 2 of the weeks that he was going to attend. So we were all sitting there not knowing what to do and my companion decided that we were going to pray and plan to the best of our ability and that after we were going to read the Book of Mormon. And we received the answer from the Book of Mormon. The conclusion was (exactly what I had said earlier but its ok) that if we do every single little thing in our power that its like that that we are going to see blessings and miracles. So that's what we are going to do! I'll keep you guys updated. :)
I testify of the Book of Mormon and the power that it has. If you need an answer pray and look in the Book of Mormon with faith that you will receive your answer. As a missionary I promise that you will receive the answer that you need. Maybe not the answer that you want, but the answer that is best for you.
Mucho Mucho Mucho Amor,

This computer is sucky. I'll use a different one next week. 🤗☺
