¡Hola!
First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! It was a great week being
able to celebrate Christmas with investigators and members even though I got
sick on the 24th!
Francisco didn't pass his interview because it turns out that he's not
married and may have drank coffee. Emanuel passed, but the mom probably won't
let him get baptized unless Francisco does too. We just have to keep working
with them and involve the family so they can get married. It was a little
frustrating, but we just need to have patience.
It seems like everything is going wrong for Leonardo Guatemala. He still
has economic problems and on Saturday he and his family got news that one of his
cousins is sick and close to death. The thing I admire about him though is that
amidst the trials and afflictions he's having, he maintains his faith. He really
trusts us and knows that we're his friends and we love him. His wife is willing
to listen to us now and both of them desire to learn and live the Gospel. He
knows the Book of Mormon is true and asked us what scripture he could read
concerning his cousin. In order to comfort him we told him to read 3 Nephi 17
about when Christ healed the righteous that were spared after His
resurrection.
On Saturday we had a training meeting for our zone with the Assistants.
They taught and showed us how we can better our teaching and the new way is way
better than the way everyone used to teach.
The most spiritual experience of this week was when we were able to visit
Katherin and her family where they live in Nueva Granada with our Branch
President, President Osman. We watched the video the Touch of the Master's Hand
which shows how the Atonement applied to our lives can change us, clean us, and
allow us to reach our divine potential. I love that video because none of us are perfect, but with the touch of the Master's hand He allows us to become more
than we could without Him. I testify that that is true because I've seen it in
my own life and in the lives of others. As we are touched by the love of the
Savior and His Atonement our hearts change!
¡Levántate! ¡Podemos hacerlo ahora!
Love,
Elder San Diego
