One thing that was awesome from this week is what happened last night. We gave a blessing to a little baby who had been sick for a while and it was incredible. We started talking to the family (they are recent converts) and we shared a lesson then we gave the blessing. Wow, the spirit was so strong in the room and my chest was on fire! Seriously it was such a spiritual blessing and it is awesome to know now that the baby is going to get better. it was great because then it felt like that spirit just followed us around throughout the rest of the night. So it was a big testimony strengthener about the priesthood after the blessing we gave to the baby.
We had another lesson with this guy that is going to church, praying and doing all that but he just doesn't have his answer yet. He isn't reading much so that is why, but he is such a good guy! We were talking to him and he also feels that baptism is an easy way out. That to repent we should have to suffer in a way. So we read in Doctrine and Covenants 19: 16 -19 about where Jesus is talking and he says that He suffered so that the people don't have to suffer. Obviously to be able to repent we have to feel a little bit of pain and regret, if we didn't we wouldn't be repenting because we wouldn't feel the need to repent. But after that we just have to recognize that Christ already paid the price of sin. Everything is paid for already! We just have to be willing to accept the atonement and the sacrifice of the Savior and we will be clean! After this lesson he said that he felt a little bit better about it and he actually accepted baptism for the 20 of June. That is if he has his answer. But I know that if he reads he will get it, that is all he needs to do so that was good.
Another thing that happened cool is that we found new investigators and they were really interested. They are already a part of another church but they were paying attention really well. Seriously every single time that we teach and we teach with the spirit, I leave the lesson feeling like we have just taught the best lesson in the history of good lessons. It is an incredible feeling. They were staring like deer in the headlights the whole time. In a good way. And when I said the first vision it was silent and the spirit was so strong. Just like it is every single time we share it. It is incredible. Anyways during this lesson I had a flashback to Hartvigsen. When we would go there as a basketball team to the special needs school to help the kids out because when we got into the house one of the daughters has special needs and she was so cute and funny and i just thought about Hartivgsen and seriously it just made it so easy to love the people in the house. And when you love the people and the message you are sharing, everything will work out. Anyways, we have another appointment with them this week so hopefully all goes well and hopefully they keep their committments during the week.
Also, we had a multizona with President and Hermana Borg and it was awesome. We only have a couple of weeks left with them so it was kind of sad but they are so great and I am sure the new president will be the same way.
And in other exciting news. This month, the 21 of June they are going to dedicate the temple here in Trujillo and all the stakes in Perù get to see it so that will be fun. We are excited for that and so many people have traveled to Trujillo to see the temple and they say it is huge so we are excited waiting for that! Presidente and Hermana Borg gave us handkerchiefs, just spelled that wrong but oh well, that were really cool! That is my report for this week, hope you all have a great week!
