There can be miracles, If we believe

So this has been a really cool week. Thursday was a really cool day, I think Im going to tell yall a bit about it.

So  (backing up a bit) on Tuesday my comp had an intercambio (changes?) with another oro (yep 2 oros (people with less than 3 months in Uruguay) working together in the area). In a lesson with our investigator Nicolas, they invited him to try moroni's promise and pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true. Well in the charla on Thursday, we asked him if he received an answer. Yes he did! and now knows for a fact that the church is true. If all goes well, he will be baptised next Sunday. the only thing is is that a year ago he got baptised, but stopped coming to church (he never really had a testimony before) and never got confirmed. So we'll just see what needs to happen:D Im excited!

 Right after that, we headed over to Gloria's house to see if we could have a charla with her. Upon arriving, we found her looking down with her eyes closed. Upon clapping, she looked up, smiled, and invited us in. After a bit, she told us that she had been a bit down in the dumps and prayed that we or Darwin (the member who now is one of her best friends) would pass by. When she opened her eyes, we were standing there. On top of that, she told us that she finally feels like she is opening up to the gospel and understanding a lot more. She ended up coming to church with Darwin yesterday!!!!!:D

Haha, actually Darwin technically still is a less active member (he's still on and off and is trying to give up smoking), so she made a pact with him, that if he didn't smoke Saturday, she would go to church on Sunday, and that if he would keep not smoking, she would keep coming to church. I hope that she eventually gets a strong testimony of the gospel and goes for the right reasons, but for now....  this is good progress for her:)

So A ton more happened this week (for example, the entire hill next to our house going up in flames (everyone is okay, but it was just a crazy day)), but Im out of time. I LOVE YOU ALL SOOO MUCH!!!!:D

Love,

Elder Eliason  

the rest of the sacred story

Well in the charla on Thursday, we asked him if he received an answer. Yes he did. After he finished praying and reading the other night, he got in his bed to sleep a bit, and had a dream. In this dream, he saw My comp (Elder Neilsen) and me in the form of Angels coming towards him and heard a voice that said "Elder Eliason and Elder Neilsen are the Angels I have sent to bring you the gospel." He has gone forward strong ever since
