As always, it has been a great week full of milagritos and I am so excited for all the good things that are to come in the mission. Hope that all of you are doing well and have been having a great week.
We are wrapping up this transfer in the week that is coming up, so that means that we have to do all that we can know to help our ward and our friends. We have a few more exchanges that we have to get to, so we were able to get that going. The first exchange that we had I was with Elder Soto, who is an awesome dude. We worked hard the entire day and saw some miracles with the family of Joel; they are very motivated to overcome any difficulty that they could prohibit them from being baptized and there is definitely a new ambient in their house. We ended off the exchange are a completo place that Elder Soto showed me, it was huge. Completos are defiantly one of the weaknesses that I have developed on the mission.
Throughout the week we saw a bunch of different miracles, last week we weren´t able to get to our area very frequently because of the zone conference but we can see that God´s had really does show in the work because we´ve had people come to us just begging to find the help that Jesus can give them. One of them, beside Joel and his family, is Gloria. She just moved into our area and before she moved, she was talking to the missionaries. She has had some bad experiences with other churches and has asked us to help her to become part of this church. Please pray for her so that she can feel that we are part of her family and that she has support, it is always hard being in a new place without friends but hopefully the church all over the world accepts everyone into their ward family.
Those are the few miracles that we have seen this week, but I wanted to end sharing what I have learned about the work of the Lord while I have been here on the mission. Many missionaries will think that they have control over the "success" that they have in their mission. Saying that it is through their efforts that people come unto Christ. I have learned something different in these last few months, this is not our work, This is the work of the Lord. The only thing that we can do as disciples of Jesus Christ is be prepared and be looking for opportunities to share the gospel. That when we find and opportunity, we teach in a way that they can understand the blessings and make an informed decision. We don´t convince anyone, we invite them to come unto Christ and participate of his atonement.
I love you all, let me know what I can do for you guys.
Elder Nelson
