This week was really good because Mellissa ever since her first time going to church has been continually progressing. It has been so awesome because we have seen their testimonies grow and they have been taking time to not just go to church every sunday but to pray and read the Book of Mormon. I am so happy that we have heavily focused on reading the Book of Mormon and they have sought for understanding. Many people will complain or say that they cant read it or they dont have time or it's too hard to understand but they have had no problem. I can tell that they truly are inviting the spirit in their life and allowing God to give them understanding. I have been thinking about that a lot lately that as we are doing things that invite the spirit into our life we are able to receive the Spirit in our life or as we are obedient than we are given understanding or intelligence and vice versa when we are disobedient, intelligence is taken away.
Doctrine and Covenants Section 93:
36 The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.
37 Light and truth forsake that evil one.
38 Every spirit of man was innocent in the beginning; and God having redeemed man from the fall, men became again, in their infant state, innocent before God.
39 And that wicked one cometh and taketh away light and truth, through disobedience, from the children of men, and because of the tradition of their fathers.
I have definitely noticed that, that is true in my life and really everything we do has a consequence and every good thing we do has a good consequence or a blessing. Seeing Mellissa and her family be blessed with the gospel in their lives has been awesome to see. I am so happy that we felt prompted to go there and we acted on the prompting. Mellisa will be baptized this sunday and i cannot wait to send photos.
Kian will also be baptized this sunday and we are really excited to be able to have seen the changes in him as he has strive to more obedient. His confidence has grown so much it is incredible to see the new person that he is. I know that the gospel does help us in all aspects of our life which is why it is so hard when we receive rejection as missionaries. This week had it's ups and downs i think one really good experience is the girl that we found Rica went to church! We are so excited because it seemed like she had a really good experience. Just yesterday we were able to teach her again with her mom and we had a good lesson. We are hoping that she will continue to search the truthfulness in the Book of Mormon and that this is Christ's church something awesome was that we were able to bring May Martin who is the daughter of the less active family we helped come back to church and she shared great testimony. It was an awesome experience I know that what we have done this area has been really good. I am so grateful for all of the people here in San Jose Del Monte. I am also grateful for all of you and especially my Savior Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. I love you all!
