Last
Monday we had another dentist appointment to fix my comps teeth.
Leading up to it we had been joking what would happen if I just pulled
out the restoration pamphlet and began teaching. he was like
noooooooooo.... I want her concentrating on my mouth. well...... guess
what happened. we were standing there talking, she had her tools in his
mouth, grinding away, and I was watching intently. As we were talking our
church came up. She mentioned that she didnt know anything about what
we believe..... Sorry elder Choque. In that moment I taught her all
about prophets and the need for modern day revelation. It. Was.
Awesome! She totally got it and was really interested. we left pretty
stoked. We had another visit last friday, where we left her with a restoration pamphlet.
Just thinking about it right now it
amazes me how much sense the gospel makes. I mean I get that to accept
it you have to receive a testimony (most likely based upon feeling the
spirit), but honestly; If you have any question about anything, Its
answer can be found in the gospel.... sometimes it just takes a bit of
searching of the scriptures. Really thats where testimonies start. The
scriptures. Reading. Praying. going to church. If you dont have a testimony of the gospel, try living it. Doing everything you can to
follow every little commandment. Christ teaches us to test his
commandments. to try him (as milicie (last book in the old testament I
have no clue how to spell that in english) tells us about tithing). put
your fate in gods hands and he will manifest himself to you. Thats the
only way.
Talking about the scriptures we had an AMAZING
LESSON with Maria, all the viajitos (small old men), and a friend that
was in varela for las fiestas (theres a huge 3 day public party in
varela right now). We had gone in there with the plan of teaching the
plan of salvation, but everything changed in there. She pulled out the
book of mormon and we all read the last two paragraphs of the
introduction. After doing that, and explaining a bit about that marvelous book, I realized that I had just so happened to bring the dvd
player and the flash drive with the book of mormon story video (the one
with the Jamaican dude in London bearing his testimony). We never bring
that thing with us, but Had done so to show a video to a meno activo
that we ended up not being able to visit. Tender mercies. The video was
perfect, the spirit was super strong, and we both felt super good
afterwards. haha and Maria promised us that she would read the book of
mormon to Ramon (one of the Viajitos) to teach him to stop drinking. We
hadnt even taught the word of wisdom yet! that made us pretty stoked.
Okay Im out of time. I hope yall have a great week.
