Hey there family! I love you all!
1. Guillermo!! I have a great story for you all! This week,
we had a day that started off really hard. No one was in there house, and all
of our plans fell. I was really disheartened, and I told my companion that I
was a little upset. I said nothing else can go wrong, and in that moment I dropped
my agenda, on accident. I was really upset, and fuming, but my companion in
that same time looked back to see what was wrong, and saw a door. He went right
away to knock, and within 2 seconds, we saw a 14 year old boy, with a huge
smile! He told us that he wanted to listen, so we went in his house and had a
great lesson 1. he asked questions like, "but how can I know that he was a
prophet?" he also said, "this is so new, but if the church of Christ
fell after the death of the apostles, of course this was needed!" haha we
can basically say that he is a great investigator! He left his church early
yesterday to come with us! He read in 3 Nephi 11, and said that he could
imagine it. We talked a little about it, and showed him the picture in the book
of Mormon for this story, and he said "that is same picture that was in my
mind." haha he is prepared!!
2. I love this work. I was reading in the scriptures this
week, and noticed that a lot of times it says that this is a great and marvelous
work, something that is the truth!! I know that! This week I saw miracles every
day! We have been trying to find people with our contacts that are ready to
listen, and I think that we have found at least 2 or 3 every day. So many people
here are ready to listen to the gospel!
3. I had one of my investigators give her testimony
yesterday, and she did it with power!! I was so happy!! Haha she talked about
prophets, and how she listened to conference and received an answer to her
prayers and questions! She is one of those people that were prepared for us to
teach!!
4. I am convinced that the lord wants us to be happy. So...
be happy! I am glad that I have this opportunity to serve in Paraguay! This
week I realized something. I love my area! When I think about my mission in the
future months, I think about time here in coronel Oviedo! I feel like Ammon
with the king. I would live here for all of my life, if you all were here! Haha
but I have fallen in love with the people in Paraguay! I love this opportunity
to serve among the chosen people of god here in Paraguay!!
5. I am sad to hear about this missionary from victor. Pray
for his family. He doesn’t need help, he is with god. I am glad that we have
this knowledge that we can be families forever! We never know what will happen
tomorrow, so live today like you were going to see god tomorrow!! I love you
all! Be safe, and go and show someone your love!!
Elder Chelson, given um heaven!!
