Elder Bof and I had a really good week. We are already starting to teach well together and we are both working really hard and loving it. It was good weather here in Santiago and things are looking up with the work here in Simón bolívar. There is no better feeling than coming home at night completely exhausted because you did everything you humanly could.
The highlight of this week was finding and teaching the family of Cristina and Juan. We found out that her husband had been in the hospital because of heart problems and that their family was struggling. We had a good meeting and set up an appointment to go back. Kristina her four kids, and including Juan were all in their house. Juan told us that in the hospital he had been reading the book of mormon and was researching about the history of the church. He told us after a private surprising spiritual experience alone in his hospital room he already believed it was all true. Afterwards we shared a lesson about the restoration, and the spirit was SO strong. In fact I don't think I've ever felt the spirit that strong but when I think more about it an entire family was on the line, and the love and generosity of God to pour out his love and acknowledgement to them was really palpable. Everyone accepted a baptismal date. It felt like a miracle family. We have been praying like crazy for this family because they are honestly so good!
Philippians 4:6–7. “Let your requests be made known unto God. “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep
your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
I hope everyone has a great week this week! Don't be afraid to do hard things. Hard things are the key to joy. And remember people are what's most important. People's minds and hearts are what matter most to God, and he expects us to treat everyone with love and dignity and compassion. I think compassion is the reason we wake up and function every day. So we can minister to someone else. I love you guys!
