Miracle Week

Hola

This week was such a good week. This week Elder Callirgos and I saw so many blessings in our area. This week we almost baptized Enrique but he had an interview with President Mann and he is going to wait until the next weekend to be baptized. This Saturday el 26 ewe are going to baptize 2. We are going to baptize Enrique and his son Bryan and I am so excited. This week we founda lot of new investigadores as well that could really progress towards el bautismo. I think the best thing about the week was seeing the way that Enrique is determined to be baptized and is willing to work for it. This week Enrique had a hard time accepting that he had to wait so long for the baptism because he has been preapring since October. There were 3 scriptures that came to my mind when we we were talking with him this week. They are in Mormoni 6:2-4. They say:

2 Neither did they receive any unto baptism save they came forth with a broken heart and a contrite spirit, and witnessed unto the church that they truly repented of all their sins.

3 And none were received unto baptism save they took upon them the name of Christ, having a determination to serve him to the end.

4 And after they had been received unto baptism, and were wrought upon and cleansed by the power of the Holy Ghost, they were numbered among the people of the church of Christ; and their names were taken, that they might be remembered and nourished by the good word of God, to keep them in the right way, to keep them continually watchful unto prayer, relying alone upon the merits of Christ, who was the author and the finisher of their faith.

I love these scriptures because everything that we get in the life should have been worked for. Even the baptism is necessary to work for and that the blessings of the Lord doen´t always come without us working or doing our part. Heavenly Father could easily take away all the druhgs and temptaions in the world but he wants us to work and to see how obedient we are. The Lord´s promises are always waiting for us some just require more work or effort than others. We do not see what God sees so always keep working hard and the promise is that we will see the blessings. I know that is true because I have seen it so much here in the mission. After 2 weeks of no investigadores in the capilla we finally had success and Enrique´s daughter also wants to be baptized. The Lord is just putting the fruits in front of us and he is always recognizing our work and always grants desires. If you ever feel like things aren´t going your way it might be true because our way is not always the right way but the Lord´s way is always perfect and benefits us more. Keep working hard and trust in the Lord´s plan because it is perfect and can´t be confused. 

We are sup'er excited for the baptisms this week and I will have photos to send next week. We are super excited Elder Callirgos and I because the Zona Oriental is getting a lot better and we arestarting to see the fruits in all the Zone. Remember to trust in the Lord and his plan! Have a great week and enjoy the pic of the eclipse last night here In Mexico. I am loving it here so much!
