So you want to hear about that miracle?

My companion and I were walking along the side of the street, and someone named Julio passed by in his truck. He told us, "Hey Elders, come to my house, I need to talk to you guys." We already knew him, because he was a referral from the branch council. When they gave us the referral we went to go meet him, but he told us he was going to be out of town for 3 or 4 months working, so we weren´t going to be able to teach him. So we were a little surprised to see him because he would have had to get back early.

So anyway, we went to see him, and when we showed up at his house he told us that while he was out traveling he felt like he needed to change his life. He said "I felt like God was calling me, you know? like, "Come back!" and then I remembered you guys, and I want you to help me get closer to God. Who is Joseph Smith anyway?

So very amazed and a little confused about what was happening, my companion and I taught him about the restoration. As we taught him, he was so excited by how strong he felt the spirit, that he literally jumped up and down in his chair. Now we are pretty excited to plan a baptism for him, We are just going to wait a while because he has to go out of town to work again. But when he gets back, we´ll pick up where we left off.

This story is so great because it shows that God really is preparing people all the time. He is always working on softening the hearts of his children and He doesn´t forget about anybody.

I love you guys, keep being awesome.

I have also been thinking a lot about my weaknesses, I have so many and sometimes I feel like they get in the way of my calling. But if we trust in the Lord, ask with faith, and just do the best we can to overcome our weaknesses, they can become our strengths.


Ether 12: 27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.


I love you guys, sorry about the story, but you know how it is.

Keep being awesome.

We had a pretty cool miracle this week but I don´t have much time to write, so.....remind me next week.   

For now, I testify that Heavenly Father loves all of his children, and if we strive for it we can have an eternal familia. Lately, the Retalhuleu Mission has changed its focus a little bit. Now basically everything we do is focused on families so that more families can be sealed it the temple and have an eternal family. and it is super cool. I have seen a ton of families blessed by the gospel and in many forms.

Right now, my dream is that the families that I have a hand in teaching, can get sealed in the temple, and have an eternal family. I know it is possible, and I have faith that it will happen.
but I love you guys, keep being awesome.
