Another great family a young couple that has passed through some really hard situations, They love the gospel, and the things we teach and have many desires to be baptized!! and sealed in the temple as a family! but first they need to get married
It is so sad to me that here in Chile it is super uncommon to get married people would rather just live together and never even have plans to get married...but we are helping them understand why it's important, and they are getting it! Pray for them so that they can have the faith sufficient to keep progressing!

Spiritual thought
Today I wanted to share a quote from a man named George Blair called "The Carpenter of Nazareth" it says
"In Nazareth, the narrow road, That tires the feet and steals the breath, Passes the place where once abode The Carpenter of Nazareth. And up and down the dusty way The village folk would often wend; And on the bench, beside Him, lay Their broken things for Him to mend. The maiden with the doll she broke, The woman with the broken chair, The man with broken plough, or yoke, Said, “Can you mend it, Carpenter?” And each received the thing he sought, In yoke, or plow, or chair, or doll; The broken thing which each had brought Returned again a perfect whole. So, up the hill the long years through, With heavy step and wistful eye, The burdened souls their way pursue, Uttering each the plaintive cry: “O Carpenter of Nazareth, This heart, that’s broken past repair, This life, that’s shattered nigh to death, Oh, can You mend them, Carpenter?” And by His kind and ready hand, His own sweet life is woven through Our broken lives, until they stand A New Creation—“all things new.” “The shattered [substance] of [the] heart, Desire, ambition, hope, and faith, Mould Thou into the perfect part, O, Carpenter of Nazareth!”"
I love this so much truly through Jesus Christ our broken lives can be mended repaired, and brought to a perfect state! He is the way, the only way, and if we love Him we will show Him! and come to Him! And be perfected by His loving atonement! I know that in some ways we may feel broken or lost, but if we come to Christ we can be repaired, found, loved, and cared for! I know that Jesus Christ lives! and Loves you!
