This week was as amazing as the
rest! My comp had the diarrhea. I had the stuffy nose. And we also helped move
a huge fridge down two story's with just rope and manpower! Mexico is NUTZ!!! Love
this place so much!
Guillermo and his family is finally
progressing. On New Year's Day he stopped drinking completely. He's been almost
two weeks clean. (This was all his own accord.) We had a really good lesson on
the restoration. He had read 4 CHAPTERS OF THE BOM! He had a bunch of questions
and was super receptive to everything. It's
amazing what being sober will do for a person. He did ask if it's ever okay to kill
someone (he has a lot of anger for someone) we of course said no. He and all
his kids then came to church the next day and I think they enjoyed it a lot.
It's awesome to see all the progress in them. Love this work.
Del olmo family. This family was a miracle
that we even found them. Family of 6. They have about 10 years in the church!
But they've been totally inactive for 3-4 years now. They told us they 100%
agree that the church is true and that the BOM is the word of God. So why don't
they attend the church??? It because some members and the bishop was very rude
to them and they stopped feeling welcomed! Stupid! But in our talking with them,
we just kind of listened and let them tell their story, near the end were like
"oh shoot! We need go to church again?!" We didn't even say much to
them. It's awesome what having the spirit can do to people and help them realize
their own answers if they're open to it. They also said they need to get their
brother baptized cause they need to get sealed in the temple. They hopefully
will actually come to church with a little bit more working with them and the
ward .
In my Spanish reading of the BOM
I've gotten all the way to 2nephi 2. I know 4 months and already that far! I'm
killing it. hahaha but in 2 Nephi 2 it talks a lot about how we have 2 choices.
1) the good 2) the bad. The two choices are always there in our lives. It
explains how we will also experience both sides. (Go read - Lehi does a better job
at explaining it) My take aways from it though are that no matter the
choices and the things we experience in our life we always have the CHOICE to
choose Christ and try to become better through him. Becoming like Christ and
being Christ like is just that! It's a choice. I'm thankfully for my pains and
my afflictions cause it's given me the opportunity to come unto Christ and
choose him. I invite you all to choose Christ in your life. To chose to live
like him and chose to be like him. And if you screw up just look to him to help
you repent.
Love y'all. Bye!
