Bringing the Gospel to All the World

Hola mi familia!!! Thank you so much for you emails and your fotos! I am so grateful to hear about all of your amazing experiences!

 
What I am most grateful for this week is a very special miracle that we received this past week. Thank you for all of your prayers for Sis. C. and her mom, and I thank my Heavenly Father for answering them. On Friday we went to visit Sis. C. after not speaking to her since Sunday. We were praying hard the whole way and I was so scared that she was not going to let us in and tell us to leave. When we arrived, with faith I took a breath and called "Alo" at her door. She came to the window to see who it was and i was so afraid she would just look and then never open the door. But just the opposite happened. She opened the door happily and said pasen! We entered and just talked to her as a friend, without mentioning the church. We talked about how we just wanted to see how she is doing, and talked about school and everything. Her mom was there too, and was nice but went to bed early while we were there. Sis. C. told us that she loved church and that she wanted to come on Sunday. She said she would come on her own. I have no idea what happened but it was as if she had never even called us to tell us not to come back. We left so grateful that the Lord had touched their hearts. She did not come on Sunday because she ended up going to her grandmas, but she said we could visit her this week. We hope to start sharing the gospel with her again. Please continue to pray for her and her mom so that they can continue to progress. Thank you so much for your prayers, I know that our Heavenly Father heard them and gave us this miracle. 

Thank you so much for your prayers for Sis. V. and her son also. They continue to progress and attended church with us on Sunday. We need to pray that her son (that struggles with autism) can continue to feel calm and peaceful in church so that he doesn´t get spooked, and so he can relax. We taught them the word of wisdom as well and Sis. V. told us that she struggles with smoking. please pray for her as well, because we are going to work with her this week to help her stop. She wants to receive a blessing on Thursday for this. I am so grateful for miracles and the power of God to change hearts and help us in every way!  Thank you for all of your prayers and support, we are so grateful to be here doing the Lord´s work!
 
I want to share what I learned today in personal study. I was studying the characteristic of faith, and I read in Hebrews 11:40. It talks about how through us others can also be perfected. We are the means of bringing the gospel to all the world and to certain people that are prepared right now to receive it. We must do everything we can to share the gospel with them because they might not have the chance to hear it again. We are to help certain people at very specific times so we must be ready to follow the spirit and share the gospel with everyone so that everyone can have the opportunity to hear it! This is our call as members of the church. We must have faith in our Savior, our Heavenly Father, and faith in ourselves to do it.  I challenge each of you to talk to someone about the gospel this week. Pray and search for the opportunities that the Lord will put before you. We love missionary work because through it, we can feel the Spirit manifest of the love that our Heavenly Father and Savior have for others, and the love that they have for us. This is the most glorious feeling to our souls!!  I don´t know if you all read my letter to Abby last week, but there is a promise that as we share the gospel, we will have the Spirit with us more abundantly, all the time! It is the most glorious feeling!! I love you all and am so proud of you! I hope you have a great week!  Love you all!!

I want to share some of the beautiful sights
in the city of Cauqenes.





I love how they use bright colors to decorate homes and neighborhoods.
