Hey There World!
Hope
that you are all doing well and that you had a wonderful Father`s Day!
It is weird to think that for the last Father´s Day I was in the MTC,
and now here I am a year later with 4 sectors and 7 companions. Shout
out to my Dad and my Grandpa`s for being the very best of all the Dad`s
and Grandpa`s! Also shout out to my cousin Lynette who returned home
from her mission in Norway this last week! Congratulations Lynette! I
love you!
This
week in Cerro Morreno we have worked harder than ever. We have seen
many miracles in the form of progressing investigators and a Recent
Convert who was slipping into inactivity being friend-shipped and finding
his place once again in the ward. He is becoming
really excited about the gospel again. We have him connected to many
Young Single Adults that are helping him to leave behind his bad habits
and move on through the process of repentance. It is a beautiful thing to
watch, the Atonement in action.
We also have two investigators named Vanessa and Andrea. They are progressing very well, and Vanessa this last week asked us what she needed to do to be baptized, she still needs to get married, but she is progressing towards her baptism, and her daughter Andrea is also very excited. She says that she no longer feels like she is the only young adult that has these standards like Chastity and not drinking. We have many people as well that are reaching out to this family and helping them to progress as they are. It is true, working with members not only helps us to teach, but it helps the investigator progress faster, and it gives the members this fire for the Obra Misional!
Missionary
work is something that gives everyone energy and allows people to
connect to the gospel in an interactive way. That is one of the reasons
that God has blessed us with a church. So that we can find a support
system in our beliefs. A friend when one is needed. And a hand to lift
us up when we fall. If you are struggling with your testimony. If you
are wondering if you really KNOW that it is true. Then go do missionary
work, go bear your testimony to someone. Maybe just your Mom, but go do
it! A testimony is something that if you do not share it, it will not
grow. If you do not show what you believe it may change from a belief,
faith, to something passive. A shallowly rooted plant that can be
changed, burned, corrupted, or strangled by whatever passes by. Share
your testimony. Help others feel the love of Christ. So this is your
homework for the week. Share your testimony. Share it with the world.
Maybe share a video about Jesus and a short comment about why you liked
it. Share. Jesus has his arms open to all of the world, but sometimes we
need to help others to open their eyes to see the arms extended and
waiting. SHARE YOUR LIGHT.
To
end I just wanted to say that there were Transfers this week. I am
staying here in Antofagasta in Cerro Moreno, but Hna Jimenez has left
me! I instead have another companion, named Hna Samaniego. She is from
Asunciòn, Paraguay, and has 7 months in the mission. I met her about 3
hours ago, and she is very sweet. I can`t wait to get to know her more
and see the work progress here in Antofagasta!
Love you all, remember to share you light, share the happiness that the gospel brings. I love you! Have a great week!
