Something
I learned this week is that a testimony truly is powerful!!! We have
been teaching a man named Jefferson from Bahia, and it´s been hard to
get in contact with him because he works so much, but this week on
friday he called because he needed help with his living situation
because he lives in a place where people are always drinking, swearing,
and doing bad things. We called the bishop to help him, and the next day
when we called to see if we could meet with him he told us that we
could, but he didnt feel like studying and that he just needed a friend.
Hmmmm...... Ok I thought let´s go be his friend, and we listened to him
talk about his life and things that we´re going on, his goals and
dreams in life, and I mentioned something about my family and showed him
a picture. He asked me, So if you have such a pretty family why did you
leave them to come here??? When he asked me why I left my family it
made me really reflect, why am I here?????? I thought for a second and
what I came to the conclusion to is that I´m here because the Lord has
given me everything that I have, it was the Lord who gave me such an
awesome family, it was the Lord who has given me the gospel and I know
that Jesus Christ is our Savior. I know of the importance of the gospel
in my life and in the lives of other people. I know that Baptism is not
an option, its necessary. So I shared my testimony with Jefferson, he
said he didn´t want to study but I shared a scripture anyways.
1 Nephi
9: 6 `But the Lord aknoweth all
things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish
all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all bpower unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen.´
I felt like I was actually being prompted and inspired by the Holy
Ghost, it was the best feeling I had all week. And now Jefferson wants
to become a member of the church and be baptized!!!! I was really happy
to see the message that he sent us saying that he wanted to be
baptized.
I hope everyone has a good week, and don´t forget to write. It makes all the difference
