The lord is Loving and keeps the fire burning

Man this is the second week in a row I do this last minute, and for that I apologize, but this will have to be quick.

2 great things happened this week.

1) Dina came to church for 3 hours again this week and is bringing her mom back into activity. SWEET! we had an amazing charla this week with our ward missionary leader and his wife (haha that was really funny. every time we asked the hermano to bear his testimony about a, or teach a principle, his wife would respond saying "no problem elder" and bear a rather lengthy testimony. It happened 3 or 4 times, and by the last, the hermano just looked at us and began smiling and chuckling to himself.). Alas, it was a really spiritual charla where all ended up bearing powerful testimony and leaving a powerful fire burning in our hearts. She is progressing with a lot of promise.

Honestly that is what marked this week. Many times I found myself sitting there just filled with this internal fire. And seeing it lapping in others. I love how it feels and how others react to this feeling.

2) this was a really cool example. Sunday when we got to church, we walked into sacrament, and an hermana waved us over. She was sitting next to a man no one had ever seen before. upon introducing himself as Esteban, he commented that Hermano Piñero (the bishop that just so happened to not be there that day) had been inviting him for months. Well let's just say that it was a very spiritual meeting, leading him to stay for all 3 hours. Near the end of gosple principles, the teacher asked him for his thoughts on charity, to the which, he bore his testimony of the love he felt in this moment, how he was guided to the church that morning, when it was never his intention to go, and that what he felt in that moment was something so beautiful. Well we had a charla with him yesterday, bringing a recent convert to help teach. IT was a very powerful lesson.

Pray for them both please.

I love you all so much!!!!!!!!

Im really sorry Im out of time, but really quick:

Cool things that happened this week:

We found the bible belt in uruguay (two american Methodist missionaries that want to know what the mormons believe, but that use the bible to find faults in doctrine that dont exist. Super cool. Ive studies all their doubts and questions, and have been able to find logical and incredible answers through the restoration! I LOVE THE GOSPEL!!!!)

DINA Is progressing and will get baptised in 2 week. She's amazing and told us in the last charla that she really wants her inactive mom to come back with her, and that she is going to help her do the which.

We have an investigator that is in love with Elder Burgess (yes my old canadian comp) and said that she would definitely get baptised if he married her. I told him that and he died laughing. We'll she if we can help her find better reasons to get baptised. She's actually really cool and can recognize the spirit that is in the church, but that is absent to her outside (#gift of the holy ghost)

I love yall so much!

The stone cut out of the mount

I figure that's a pretty classic missionary letter title;D

IT's been a good week, with a lot of cool things. Loreley broke up with us (that was kind of sad), but Melani's progressing, Dina (the contact we had in the street that said she reads Doctrine and covenants and the Liahona) came to church, the sister of a member came to church in order to have her baby blessed (we have a charla set with her for Wednesday) and the zone as a whole found 40 new investigators to teach (there are 6 companionships. The urgency and animo of this zone is flying!) 

While verifying with some of the hermanas this week, they told me something that I agree with: "We've talked to a lot of people this week!" 

Haha I'm not trunky or anything, but I will say that when I get home in September, I'm going to be able to sleep pretty darn well;D

The past few days have been mostly filled with just good solid charlas. No huge visible miracles happened more than we felt the spirit pretty well and helped others do the same, but there's not much more you can ask for. 

This Sunday during testimonies, I had the opportunity to share Either 12:27 and testify of the power Christ has to change us. This is the fount of my testimony. I have changed so much during these past two years, and have been blessed to see this same change come over others. It is a great power, that if let loose, makes bad men good, and good men better. however, It doesn't stop there.

I love this gospel and am so glad to have the opportunity to share it every day.

Love Y'all so much and hope ya have a sweet week!:D
