This
week was the weeks of pastors... I dont know why this week more than
any other week of my mission. but we had a lot of amazing experiences.
We
were contacting on saturday and passed by a man just staring at his trees
in his backyard and decided to go talk to him. He said his son had
passed away and his wife is really sick and the family is waiting for
her time to pass away as well. So sad! We started talking and it came
out that hes been aventista his entire life. As we were teaching, the
spirit was so strong and our conversation led into the fundamentals of
the church that Jesus Christ himself had established. His brother walked
in and sat down. (a pastor), we continued to talked when two more
pastors came and sat down and listened to us. Eventually the
conversation led to the sabbath day and whether is was on Saturday or
Sunday. We were able to bear our testimonies a couple times and the
spirit was so strong. They were so set on the ancient laws that they
couldnt accept the fact that there is such a thing as a modern day
prophet and revelation. We ended up inviting them to just pray and ask
Heavenly Father. It breaks my heart when people cant do something as
easy as praying to know if our message is true. They can have it all,
just need a little faith.
We also taught a 16
year old girl that Heavenly Father not only hears our prayers, but He
answers them too. She was so amazed and so excited to pray and receive answers.
We visited pastor Jose again,
the pastor who was the millionaire, but then lost it all and had the
amazing story. We got there and he could hardly move because he had
pulled a muscle in his back and had been in a lot of pain for 3 days. We
talked a while and it came out that he has never let anyone of another
faith preach to him, let alone in his own home. He said that he feels
something when were in his house and he just wants to serve us. (he gave
us 7 eggs, avocado, bananas, rice and jello) cause he thinks were
poor... We had a really good discussion about the Book of Mormon and his
eyes have been opened that there is another Testament of Jesus
Christ. At the end, he asked me to say the prayer. As i was saying it, I
felt a very strong impression to ask for Jose´s back to be healed
through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and I knew it would be done. We
said our goodbyes and went to our next appointment. He called us 20
minutes after we left to tell us his back has been healed. I know
without a doubt Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers, however big
or small. Miracles exist and so does our Savior Jesus Christ. He will
take away all of our pains whether it be physical, spiritual, or
emotional. The atonement has more power than we can even begin to
comprehend.

Hermana Morales went home and we threw her a goodbye party. She gave me her watch (mine broke) and I gave her a headband I made |

Mom you would be so proud!! I shredded this chicken with my bare hands all by myself even though I was gagging at the sight of its little body form and tail. |
