Haha, yeah it's pretty hot here in San Miguel, but it's bearable. The funny thing is that when the volcano erupted, all of the soot went the other way and none got on San Miguel.
When my brother got home from his mission, he gave me a talk about becoming a
consecrated missionary by Tad R. Callister. I recently read it along with a talk
from David A. Bednar about becoming a PMG missionary. Both have helped me a lot
with understanding what I need to do to become who the Lord needs me to be. In
Tad R. Callister's talk, it talked about sacrificing our all in our service as
missionaries. He said we need to sacrifice our pride, disobedience, romantic
passions and fear, and go the extra mile. He also quoted what Peter said to
Jesus: "Lord, behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Thee." I know that as I
continue to improve and become more like Christ that I will become His disciple
and He will bless me with success throughout my mission.
This week we've gotten more references and new investigators. I know that as we strive to be bold and talk with everyone and ask references from every member that the Lord will guide us to those who need and are ready to receive the Gospel.
In one of our lessons with an investigator this week, the Spirit was really strong. We were teaching our investigator Cornelia, who can't read or write, the Plan of Salvation and we told her about how we can only make it back to Heavenly Father through the Atonement and being clean and pure. Then we asked her what we can do to become clean and pure. There was a pause and then she said, "Baptism." I've never had an investigator who really understood that simple concept as she did. I know that the Spirit was there and that He touched her heart and brought baptism to her remembrance.
I love this work and I hope that I can bring many people to the truth. I can't wait for the visit from Quentin L. Cook this Thursday!
¡Levantate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
