Christmas eve this is what we did:
We visited several recent converts, sang for them, and gave them copies of the film "Joy to the World" and candy that Grandma Marilyn sent in a package (thank you grandma and grandpa!!! They all loved it!!) Then we had an lesson with the children of a lady who is less active for a long time. Then we were on our way to an appointment when we contacted a man who has had a really rough life. He is just looking for answers. We told him that we have the answers but he has to do his part. Then we were waliking and we felt we needed to talk to this man who was in front of us. Finally we caught up to him, and started talking to him. In that very moment he was about to do drugs. Well, by the end of the conversation we said a prayer and he said he felt more hope that things can be better. he just feels really hopeless. Interesting thing is that he lives on the street called HOPE. Hmmm. We bared powerful testimony and i felt the spirit testify in my heart that really we do find hope and comfort through the savior. There is no other way to salvation but through the Savior.
Later we were at a member family´s house, then we had a lesson with the parents of Hugo and Leandro who were supposed to be baptized on christmas day but in the end the mom said it is too fast. She was without hope. We will continue to work with this family. The dad is a really less active member.
Sunday at church, it was awesome. Jicela received the gift of the holy ghost, it was a powerful blessing. her dad was present. Also, this older lady that we found while contacting in the street earlier this week. i said to irma walker that i wanted to look for more opportunities to serve people, and she said how about this lady with her sacks. we helped her to her house, then she came to a ward christmas party friday night and she came to church sunday! She knows some of the members already so that is a plus! She is so sweet!!
Well, it was sooooooo great to talk to you yesterday!! i love you all so much!
Keep living the gospel of Jesus Christ!
