This was a good week. Honestly it went by super duper fast and I'm exhausted but it was good. Things were starting to get a little stressful because we set our goals for the area and the zone and we hadn't really seen much success.
But this week my companion and I knelt down and said a prayer. I would rather not state all that was said but we are willing to give all we have for success in bringing our brethren unto the waters of baptism (ALMA 26: 22 & 27).
22 Yea, he that repenteth and exerciseth faith, and bringeth forth good works, and prayeth continually without ceasing—unto such it is given to know the mysteries of God; yea, unto such it shall be given to reveal things which never have been revealed; yea, and it shall be given unto such to bring thousands of souls to repentance, even as it has been given unto us to bring these our brethren to repentance.
27 Now when our hearts were depressed, and we were about to turn back, behold, the Lord comforted us, and said: Go amongst thy brethren, the Lamanites, and bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success
So after the prayer we got up and got to work. I would like to share one of the experiences that Elder Solis and I had during this week of miracles.
On Friday we were headed out to a visit. We had planned that we were sure was gonna fall through but we went anyways because we figured well why not lol. So as we were walking to the visit we saw two people standing outside of the house and they looked lost. In that moment I felt the strongest urge that we needed to go and talk to them. So we walked up and I asked them what their names were and the son said his name was Bladimir and his mom's name is Blanca.
I have to take a step back here now because I have to explain something. We had torn apart our carpeta de area to look for good old investigators to teach and so we had a few set apart from the others that we had been looking for. One of these families was Hermana Blanca and her kids. Bueno pues (Well then) when they said their names it hit me. We had finally found them after three weeks.
So I asked them if they had talked to missionaries beforew and she started telling us a story of how yeah before they listened but mainly just the kids and she hadn't been interested because she didnt know what God had really done for her. But she said she had been having so many troubles they had to leave Tuxtla. They finally came back because they just didn't know what to do next.
Then she starts telling us that In the night before the son Bladimir had a dream were he was walking in Monte Real (a colonia in our area) and he felt like he had to go because in the dream he heard a voice saying this is the place.
So in the morning he talks to his mom and says they need to go to this place and they went. They had only been there for like 30 minutes up until we found her and her son. She then accepted us to come over the next day. We came with the bishop and she ended up telling us all the problems that she has been having and that she knows now that we have been sent in each others' paths for a reason because God is reaching out to her and her family through us.
She and her family are very open to the gospel especially because the step dad is a member but very inactive for a veryyy long time. We have now received through them three different families to teach that are all open to the gospel.
This is the work of the Lord. It truly is a marvelous work and a wonder. We will be lead to those of God's children who He is preparing and He truly is prepáring people to accept His word because He is our literal father in heaven and He loves us. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
