Hey family, well I would like to encourage everyone to read Moroni 7. God does not cease to work in miracles or he would cease to be God, if we have faith in Him we have the power to do all things. God uses many ways to bless us daily and they are all miracles. The influence and the ability we have to recognize and receive more miracles are through our obedience. If there are no miracles there is no faith. But what is the difference in asking for miracles and expecting miracles, if we continue in the same chapter we will find out. It speaks of faith and hope. I testify that faith is the belief and trust in the Lord that through our obedience and good works we will be blessed abundantly, because He is obligated to bless us when we are obedient. That is the asking for miracles. The hope is the same belief in the Lord and trust in Him that we will receive those blessings., The hope is an act of patience in expecting the miracles knowing they will come in the timetable of the Lord. It was a great inspiration that my father asked me to study this specific topic this week as this week was full of miracles.
Angel and Delicia are getting married. She has had a complete change of heart and wants to complete the commandments in order to receive the promised blessings of the Lord. We are preparing her to be married in 2 weeks along with her baptism. And Angel’s cousin wants to get married and baptized with his girl as they have seen the change in Angel and Delica. We met them on Friday and they told us they want to get married and baptized. So we have two families to get in the water. We planned on baptizing Brayan and Pablo on Saturday, but due to a few situations we only baptized 3! Yes, Nils showed up right before Pablo’s baptism and had made the decision to be baptized as well. O how my soul was filled with the love of the Lord. Knowing that finally through six months of teaching him all of the baptismal dates he rejected the Lord blessed us through the fasting and the praying from the past months I know the Lord has His hand here in this area. And yesterday we had an attendance of 90 which is the highest in years. The branch has completely changed and I know that the Lord is keeping his promise to me by blessing this branch through the fasting, prayer, obedience and diligence of my companion and I. I am so grateful for the great miracles and the little miracles that happen every day. This whole week has gone by without a hitch we receive references daily. We don’t have time to contact it’s awesome. I’m so grateful for the inspiration of my father to steer me in the right direction in my studies. I am on the threshold of reaching the year mark. I have 14 baptisms as of this point and have made a goal to triple that number this next year. I don’t know if God can try me much harder, because it always works out in the end. If I get changed today I will be fine knowing that this area is better than it was. Always remember God doesn't change He cannot. Miracles happen daily if we are humble enough to recognize them. Our spiritual outlook will increase greatly and our faith will grow until we are filled with the pure love of Christ which is charity and if we endure to the end with that same positivity and knowledge we will live with our families and God for all eternity in celestial glory. I love you all this is the Lord's work. Read your scriptures.
Nils is in between Elder Bustos and me and Pablo is to my left. Brayan was baptized earlier that day, but the pictures are loading real slow so I doubt i'll be able to get it to ya.
