this week has been going amazing. Denny told us he
remembered what we
mentioned about the word of wisdom and has been living it
for 2 weeks
now, he gave us his cigarrettes the beginning of this week,
he says
his body is miserable but he knows its the will of God, I
have 2 of
them taped in my journal to remember that visit, the spirit
is so
strong when we teach him, ha I didnt even know he smoked. He
is the
most prepared person I have ever met, We went to teach him tithing
and he told us he already learned about it and accepted to
live the
law of tithing, we changed his baptismal date to 19 of april
we might
even change it to 12. He was recieved amazingly by all
members and we
have a family night with the president of the branch wed, he
has read
up to alma 6 in the last 3 weeks, I tear up when we teach
him because
Its such a testimony that the lord truly prepares people,
As well the divisions
with the priesthood continue to work amazingly
this divisions we left with the quorum and the 8 elders,
some of which
that had to stay at our house for the night before they went
to puerto
aysen. Other family came to the church for the first time
and are
excited to get activated, so far I have seen 3 families and
1 member
get activated since ive been here and its so amazing to see
the work
being done by the members and us together. We are excited
for this
month. We have a lot of prepared people in our zone ready to
get
baptized.
My comp is sweet, he is from cordoba, argentina, he is super
spiritual
and a hard worker, we had the privelage to find a mother and
her
daughter this week, as we taught them the restauration
briefly, we
explained that the spirit brings us peace and helped them
know what
they were feeling was the spirit, we asked if they would
like to feel
what they were feeling forever, they agreed and accepted to
get
baptized the end of april as they get to know our message
more and
come to church.
We had to spend a day in aysen helping the elders move to
their new
house (since their owner was having them leave and we are
opening a
new sector there) but found out that the house they found
wouldnt be
appropriate place to have the house so we spent the day
looking for a
house as well ate lunch with the branch president there. We
werent
able to find them a house but are praying they will be able
to soon.
The zone had a baptizm this saturday, not going to lie it
wasnt very
organized by the missionaries and we had to do help calm the
nerves,
we prayed that the spirit could be there during the service
and I can
tell you that each time I have seen someone get baptized the
spirit
fills every part of my body, the spirit confirms to me each
ordinance
that this is the way that god has revealed to have
salvation.
We also are seeing more in our english class, as well we
found out
that dennys sons birthday was this week so we made him no
bake cookies
and he loved them! haha denny said he ate them all, thanks
for the
recipe mom:)
Something really touched me this week was the prayer denny
said as we
left our last visit, he said "help the missionarys have
hope that in
coyhaique there will be more people that search for the
truth"
This is going to be a great upcoming month, I pray each day
that god
can lead us to these prepared people. Love you guys a ton,
Elder Carter
