Hey
family.
All is well down here in Ecuador and my new companion is great! We work
really well together and I'm doing great with my health...I feel fine.
No
worries about the packge, and I don't know if you'll be able to if not don't
worry but I would love a small package of protein powder if you can to stick
in. :)
Alright
well now I'll talk about my week a little bit. It was great and we worked hard this
week and spent lot of time visiting the other missionaries and doing small
divisions with them to get to know who they are working with and in what ways we
could help them to work better. It was interesting and I had the opportunity to go
with my old companion Elder Quintero from Colombia and work in his area. And it
was so wonderful. We put 2 new baptism dates and helped a guy get ready for his baptism that
will be this next Saturday. It's awesome to be able to work with the other
missionaries and be able to see people that literally just get put in our path
when we look for them. And it talks a bunch about that in D&C 123: 8-17.
In
our own area we have a kid that we found named D and he is soooo awesome! He
imediately accepted the challenge to be baptized and has come to church twice
now! It is so cool to find people that just have faith. They listen to what we
say with real intent and they follow the impressions that the Spirit gives them.
A friend went up to D the first Sunday afrter he went to church and told
him not to go back with us again because our church was false and that he wouldn't
be following God if he goes. D responded that he felt good inside and that
he knew it was the right thing to keep going back. It was so awesome to hear
him explain to us that he felt good and knew what he had felt came from God.
The world needs more people like D!!
This
week I have been studying a lot about change and how we can keep a change for
ever. It all depends on our ability to have a broken heart and a contrite
spirit which means to be meek humble and repent daily, doing those things you
will be receptive to the Spirit and that Spirit will stay with you and guide
you to keep the change that you've had. :)
Love
you all so much wish you the best in all that you do!
