Couple things from down here in san borja. Well lots of things. todavia we don't have una pencionista. And presidente might sacarnos tomorrow. Might.....take us out or tansfer us because we had some struggles this week because we fasted because we didnt have food. So that is not good and we communicated with our liders and stuff so we might get taken out. In part was we actually had days full of citas and there was no time to eat so i would rather have citas than lunch. But we have to eat to work or we cannot work effectively or hard. We talked to hna ardila and she told us this is a great opportunity to develop some faith. tehe. Kinda a little tap on the head and where is your faith like the savior did many times in the new testament. But one day i was particualary hungry and i expressed my hunger to elder hernandez and he told me that its alright and we prayed and asked for the lord to provide and the following cita the lady gave us food :) it was quite the experience.
We had a baptism 2 yesterdays! This is the old investigador rodrigo that has been interested for a while. We really didnt do anything besides the entrevista but we had a baptism nonetheless in san borja. It was an excellent service. 2 general authorities from the 70, which is kinda cool, one is in my ward but he retired form the 70 a little bit ago and the other the neighboring ward.
So yesterday we taught an hna that was baptized but told us it was an error. She was baptized about 2 years ago more or less and we have taught here weekly and she is the bomb diggity but we are working with her testimony about a few things, joseph smith and the trinidad and other questions. Yesterday i bore a simple testimony of joseph smith, the first vision, and the godhead. The spirit was amazingly powerful. The spirit testified. The feelings of the spirit are wonderful and glorious. I have had a few experiences with testimonies like that this week. so beautiful. My invitation is to bear a simple testimony this week. Love you all so much! :) send pictures of all my sobrinos and sobrina and another sobrina de hoy :)
Con carino
