The weather
this last week has been "cold" and a little different. It was between
55-60 F during the day and everyone was walking around in fur coats and beanies
meanwhile my companion and I were enjoying the spring like weather! It´s also
been a little more cloudy than normal, but there has been sunshine in our
souls. Out of nowhere, the blessings began to come this last week. We have
about 15 referrals from members and lots of other people that we are trying to
contact as well.
Flor is a
single mom who used to go to the Christian church and was really involved there
until some things happened and she starting to separated herself from there.
She has a friend who is a member and she shared the gospel with Flor and we
went to see her. We taught her about the Restoration and she has lots of
questions and doubts, but she likes it. She went to church yesterday and loved
it and has a baptismal date for 9 February.
Enrique is a
self-referral from Mormon.org and is interested. He´s 43 and has had several
bad experiences with other churches that have led him to investigate our
church. He sent his information back in July but the missionaries never checked
the referrals page that we use. He is reading the Book of Mormon and is willing
to be baptized when he receives his answer from God that the Book is blue and
the Church is True.
Pascual and
his wife Paola, daughters Paulina and Daniela are a family that contacted us
when we went to look for someone who ended up not being home. Pascual was sick
with early stages of kidney failure and wanted something in English to read so
his wife talked to me on the street. We made an appointment and brought English
pamphlets and the Liahona. They all went to church yesterday and dressed like
members! Everyone thought that it was a family visiting. They´re pretty cool
and are progressing well.

I found a
quote this week that I like--
"Live
each day as if you were going to live eternally, for you surely shall." President Gordon B. Hinckley

All too often
we think that we should live like we are going to die tomorrow, but what would
the difference be if we thought about how all of the choices that we make here
will all be of eternal consequence. Repent not at your deathbed, but as
President Uchtdorf said in conference- that we need to make the daily decisions
so that when we are dying we don´t have regrets. Live the Gospel of Jesus
Christ through His Church, and all will be well. Click here to read: Of Regrets and Resolutions ~ Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf Conference Oct. 2012
Have a
FANTASTIC week!
