Buenas Tardes Everyone!!!
This week has been a great week. We had the great priviledge to Hear from a General Authority! Elder Teixiera. He spoke about how we can have spiritual power and increase our new investigators. He gave us some great tools and we have already seen great miracles from it. Well on top of that President Deere asked me to do a personal interview with Elder Teixiera. Wow that man is amazing. He gave me some great advice and I am excited to continue to follow and sustain our leaders. They are truly men and women called of God. It has been my great pleasure to hear from two of our General Authorities here in Spain. Many missionaries are lucky to hear from one. Life here is going good. We continue to work hard. The Lord continues to bless us and I am grateful for His hand in this work.
For the next two months as a mission we will be reading the Book of Mormon. Our goal is to finish by the 31st of march. As we read we are focusing on our purpose as missionaries, the doctrine of Christ or the gospel of Christ which are all the same. It is amazing to read the Book of Mormon from this few. I have started to find patterns in the Book of Mormon that I haven´t found before. I am noticeing more and more how and when and why Nephi teaches his brothers. It is so interesting to watch as they repent little by little but never truly have that big change of heart. It all comes down to choice. Are you going to chose to do it your way of the Lord´s way? It is has been a great lesson that is taught over and over through the example of this family. I know that as we chose the Lord´s way we can come closer to Him and He can lead us through the most furtile parts of the land as we travel through the wilderness.
This week in the work we have seen some great miracles in finding. Hermana Nelson is going crazy with the contacting. I am truly learning so very many things from her. Anyway, We found this family on Thursday. we went by on Sunday and they had two more people at their house. we ate delicious equadorean tamales and share the restored gospel. They are excited to read the Book of Mormon and we are excited to try out our new tamale recipe. Also we had the great priviledge to testify to a budhist woman from Russia about the love of our Heavenly Father. I never knew the spirit could be so strong on a noisey city bus. I love the work here. Yes it is work. We sweat, and run and practice until it is perfect. We do our best to give our all to a Father in Heaven and His children. I love this work and I know I will never be the same. I know that Christ lives. He loves us and He truly is there to wipe away the tears. Have confidence in Him and He will see you through. I love you all!!!!
