This was the most normal week that we have had this transfer, and so we took advantage. We have the goal of doing as many exchanges as possible, so we planned three for this week and honestly they all went super well. I have a little bit of a problem, because in every exchange we did I wanted to celebrate how great of a day it was and I bought them completos (Chilean hotdogs). We´ll just say that they aren´t the healthiest option and I ate like three of them this week. So, I enjoyed everyone of the exchanges, but it was definitly a little tiring driving every night.
Besides that, we had some awesome miracles this week. In one of the exchanges that we had, we passed by a random member and it turned out that they had been talking to someone that same day about the gospel. That person seemed to be going through a rough time and wanted to learn more. So we planned a visit for the next day and when we went we felt guided by the spirit to invite her to be baptized. She accpeted a baptismal date for the 26 of this month. It was honestly such a huge blessing to talk to her. It´s a great example showing that everyone needs the gospel in their lives they just need the invitation to get to know it.
That was the jist of the week up until now. I want to get back into giving a spiritual thought in the emails and so I am going to end off with a scripture from Matthew 6. This is when Jesus is giving the Semon on the Mount and what he says reflects what we need to change in our lives.
24 ¶ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
This is talking about how we can not serve God and also serve the world. This is a concept that a lot of people struggle with. They know that they want to get to heaven and live with God and all of that great stuff, but when they really look within themselves, their priorities aren´t lined up with that. I invite each one of you to think about what your goal is for the end of yourlife, and then set your priorities now to lead you to that goal.
I love you all and hope that you have a great day
Elder Nelson
