Haha I don’t have much time today, thanks to this video of
porter dancing like crazy!!! I think it is so great! Thanks porter!!
1. I had a little bit of an incedent with my teeth this
week! Oh yeah... what luck!! I was awake for about 72 hours... because I couldn’t
sleep! I almost pulled out some wicked sleeping pills and... The special pain killer’s
bishop gave me, but I figured I had better not! I prayed a lot, and I found
that pray works! I got two blessings of health, and in one it was sad that the
lord would give me a solution. The next day I went to the dentist and got work
done. Now, I must tell you about the second tongue I have! While this dentist
was working on me, the suction slipped to under my tongue, it got stuck! The dentist
tried pulling it off, and it pulled up a ton of my under tongue, so now it is
impossible to talk!! Haha but I am suffering with patience! ;) I believe that
this dentist was an answer to my prayers and a gift from god! I know that he is
watching over me as one of his servants!
2. I am loving the work here in obrero! We had 6 people in
the church this week, and almost all are progressing towards baptisms! One of them
is named marcilina, and I have to share with you some of her phrases! "I
am not going to miss church all of my life" “I know that joseph smith was
a prophet, because god loves Me." what do you think sister, do you want to
be baptized? "It is all I want." it is crazy awesome!! I love her!! Haha
she is the blackest paraguayo ever! I mean she is like a crazy southern black
lady, or at least I think she is!!
3. I had a great experience yesterday, and it is thanks to
you all! When I was in the mtc I printed your letters, and I was reading some of
them, when I found great advice about what I need to do as a missionary! One of
them, from dad, said that I should sit and read the the people, and show them
that I love the book of Mormon! So we did that yesterday with one of our
investigators who is struggling to find an answer! We read 2 Nephi 4, and I shared
my testimony about how the lord loves us all! He said that he believed that Nephi
wrote that for us, because god knew we would struggle! It was so good!! I loved
it! We felt the spirit strongly! I also read letters from porter about reading
and praying, and from Em and Hannah about praying! I know that you guys know
this all, and I am grateful for your help!
4. I love when I am sitting in the lessons, and we can see
someone connecting all of our teachings! Yesterday we asked a very catholic man
the question, can god talk to men today? right after teaching the first vision,
and his eyes light up! He felt the spirit, and he promised he would pray! I
know that this I s the lords work!!!
5. I was reading in Jesus the Christ today, which I will
finish tonight!! It has a phrase that I am going to share to finish!! "The
gospel of Jesus Christ is the embodiment of liberty. It is the truth that shall
make free every man and every nation who will accept and obey its
precepts"
I give my witness that this is the church of god, and that I
am working in his work! I know that I am blessed and protected and that he is
preparing his children for me!
