What is up my fam and friends, I hope you all are doing great and are living life to the fullest with God by your sude!
This week was picked full of milagros, first the fact that we put two fechas de bautismo this week which is so awesome. Javiera and Samuel are showing their desire to changed their lives and out the date for the 6 of October so we are going to keep teaching them and preparing them. These two people really are examples of change, both of them have pulled a full 180 on their lives and are using the spiritual momentum to grow closer to God and are doing so fast.
We also had entrevistas with President Trythol who is absolutely amazing as ever, he reminded us we still got to be working hard at finding people which I realized we've been slacking in recently, we've been slowly losing more and more people either being baptized or not responding to our messages so we're going to have to hit it hard this week with find the rest of those who are prepared for this gospel.
We also had our stake conference this week which was awesome two of our friends showed up which is a miracle because it was a lot farther away than the normal Church session and it really showed their faith in this Gospel one of them was Paula the mom of Vicente who had showed the desire to drop smoking and be baptized so we will be working with her this week. Unfortunately Vicent told us that he just like to talk with us and doesn't have interest in learning more about the gospel so he's slowly falling but we will keep teaching his mom and he will listen so hopefully the example of his mom can change his heart. Only God knows but we will keep acting in faith.
I think that about wraps up the week I'll hurry and leave a spiritual thought real quick, this comes from a general conference talk by Elder Costa, who we were able to meet a few weeks back,
"The source of that strength is faith in Jesus Christ as we intentionally seek to come unto Him each and every day."
This life is full of trials challenges and is straight up exhausting at times but when we actively and intentionally seek to come unto Christ each day he gives us the energy that we need. I have seen this in my mission, every morning I wake up not knowing how I am going tk get through the day. I'm exhausted, my brain is dead from spanish, and sometimes I just can't see the end of the road. But I show the act of faith by not taking a few extra minutes to sleep in but to get to work with the little energy I have and when I am actively trying to do his will that is when I find this energy and the desire to work harder and be better. We just have to put forth that first step of faith and we will see his power.
Love you all hope everything goes well, talk to you next week!
Elder Nelson (Hunter)
