Hola familia and others
Felicitaciones a Aubrey Nilsson for the engagement! If you read this,
you should send me pics....
So this week was full of miracles. Our investigator Juan Reynoso got
baptised! It's been incredible to see how the gosple really changes lives.
Everytime we meet somebody I love to realize how we really are all children of
god and tht everyone has such grand potential, you just have to help some to be
able to see it.
Muy memorable moment of the week-
Soo this week we taught a family about the plan of salvation. It was a
grandmother who's daughter passed away a few months ago, leaving her to care for
the 5 little kids of her daughter. Meanwhile she is also caring for her mother
that is over 80 years old. So we taught the plan of salvation to her and one of
the little boys with the little figures that jill walter gave me that im
positive that amy harmer made, and all went really well. The next time we went
to their house there were 3 of the little girls there and the lady wanted us to
share the plan of salvation with them as well. So I took out the figures and we
taught the plan of salvation to them as well. As we went through explaining
about how we are all spirit children of our heavenly father and where our
spirit goes after we die and how we have the oportunity to live again with all
of our family and with a body, I couldn't help but try to hold back the tears
as I saw the oldest little girl (about 9) moving the figures of a spirit and a
body around and re-explaining it to her little sisters (about 5 and 7), telling
them where mommy was now. They all started to smile and say that they wanted to
be really good so that they could live with mommy again. At the end of the
lesson, we taught them all how to pray and asked the 9 year old girl to offer
the prayer.... i don't know if I have ever heard a prayer so good and so
sincere from any member let alone investigator that just learned how to pray.
She asked her father in heaven to care for and watch over each individual
person in her family and to bless her mom and help them to not be sad and gave
thanks for the girls that helped them to understand where their mom was. As she
started to cry in her pray so did I.
I can't express how grateful I am to have the knowledge of the plan of
salvation that we have. To know and understand what our purpose is and that we
can have an eternal family. I truly have come to know on the mission that the
plan of salvation is true. That it really is perfect and it really is a plan of
happiness.
Love you all so much and pray for you always.

PS- Thank you very much Jill Walter and Amy Harmer for the plan of
salvation figures. I have used them more times than I can count and it really
has helped so many people to better undertand. Thank you and Love you!
