Great few weeks in the Lord's vineyard!
Hermano Santos
Brother Santos is a great man with such a kind heart! He owns a fruit kiosk right in front of the church and every single day he is right there waiting for us it seems and he runs up to us gives thanks for the work we do! gives us the stickest fruit juice handshake and tells us to have a great day!
About 2 weeks ago we discovered that he had passed away from a heart attack in the market...As I was able to help with the program of the funeral I got to mediate a lot about his life! and the great man that he is! He truly was a great example of a man full of charity and truly understood and practiced the scripture become ye as little children. He was so kind and always looked for ways to serve others!
Sergio
We started teaching a very special little man that has Parkinson's. He is in a wheelchair and can't really talk but understands everything, and responds with yes or no hand signs, anyways the other day we were teaching him about the restoration and the doctrine of baptism and he got so excited and worked so hard to bare a testimony and say that he could feel the spirit and wants to go to church and be baptized it was incredible! Now we are just trying to figure out how to get him to church!
Ana María y fam
Mirical family we met them in the street on Friday and then taught them for the first time on Saturday and then the came to church on Sunday!! it made me so very happy they are great!!
Paola
Paola also came to church! she had told us that every time we goes into a church she gets a terrible feeling and cant stay has to just leave, we told her everything would be ok! And she came to church!! about 40 minutes late but she came!!! She walked into the Chapal had a panic attack and left running! we ran after her stopped calmed her and said a prayer with her then she went in and sat with us and enjoyed the meeting! God truely does hear our prayers and answer them!
Macarena y Fam
some really great people we are teaching came to church yesterday! they are great and have so much potential!
Jaqueline
This last week our friend Jaqueline informed us that she was gonna be gone on vacation the day of her baptism which was gonna be the 17th so we gave her 2 options 1 change the date to the 24th or 2 this week on the 11th! and she said she didn't wanna wait any longer the sooner the better! so we started visiting her everyday last week and yesterday she was able to get baptized! It was a crazy busy day yesterday we got the church early to fill the baptismal font and we left ir filling in the middle of sacrement meeting one of the brothers from the branch called us over and said the baptismal font was overflowing! we ran downstairs to shut it off! we got there shut it off and drained it a little! and stopped draining thinking all was well we went back to sacrement meeting, and enjoyed to classes after all that we had the baptismal service and got to the part of the baptism and when we went in and the font had drained a lot more...there was only about a foot and half of water! Hurriedly I turned on the water on full blast hot and cold! and we had to wait for it to fill back up! we had them sing some hymns while we waited and it all turned out just great! we finished the service and talked with some of the 6 non members that were there for the baptism and they all loved it!! Macarena said I felt so good! I just had such a strong feeling in my chest that I can't explain! we explained it was the Holy Ghost! and that she too could get baptized she got really excited and we did too! the work is going forward God has his hand in the work and miricals keep happening!
"Jesus is a God of miricals, nothing is at all imposible to him. I know this of all his miricals the most incredible must be the mirical that rescues me!"
I testify that Jesus is a God of miricals! he preforms miricals! and the infinite mirical the most bestest most greatest mirical of them all is His atonement! it is the most important part! really our only hope is through Jesus Christ and his atonement! there is no other way or hope! Jesus has provided the way! and all of us can be saved if we repent and come unto him!
