Another week has come and gone here in San Benito. We are working hard and seeing miracles. I was able to learn a lot in our Conference with President Salerno, and feel the Spirit as we taught throughout the week. Our conference with President was different from all of the conferences I have been in. We went in Pday clothes and had "Boot Camp"! We did a obstacle race and related it to the problems, and obstacles we have as missionaries here in our zone. It was weird to see President in normal clothes haha!
We are starting to see a little progress in the marriage game. Jeanette and Julio are in Chile for the week, and hopefully Jeanettes divorce papers from her last marriage are there and we can start planning their wedding. Juan wants his girlfriend to start to listen to us and hopefully we can start teaching the whole family.
One of our members that give us lunch is letting us teach their grandson! His name is Franco and is ten years old. His mom is inactive and dad is a nonmember. Franco is a goalie for his soccer team, and loves it. He plays on team that is going to Buenos Aires in a few weeks for a tournament. The Book of Mormon stands out to him. Cool to see even a ten year old can see and feel the power that book has. If we get the permission of his parents he will be baptized in two weeks!:)
This week I gave a baptismal interview to one of the Sisters investigators. His name is Gonzalo. We had an amazing chat. He changed my look on the Atonement. For the better of course. I gained a testimony on why we have the Atonement. Of course I knew and understood before, but the Spirit I felt and love we felt together speaking of WHY Christ did it, Why we have to keep trying, Why its never over, Why no matter what happens before, or after baptism we can be cleansed from those sins. Do we have to be perfect? Never! Does Heavenly Father want us to? Yes, but does He know we wont? Of course and thats why He sent His son. They dont care what you have done, where you are in your repentence process, or if you arent sure if they exist. Go to them! Feel their love they have for you! Try! Change! Never give up! Its not worth it to let the adversary win for a short while, win they wont win the end.
I know this is Chirsts church. The Book of Mormon is powerful. Read it. Love it, and pray about its words and teachings. I know they are true and can bless YOUR LIFE. Whos life? Yours! So read it and I promise you that God your Heavenly Father will send His love!:) Les Quiero!:)
