“The Power of the Spirit”
Tuesday
Well, we did a really awesome service for someone! We painted and cleaned houses. It’s been so hot here... Like crazy hot! We found a family to teach, it was absolutely amazing! The Spirit was so cool! We started talking to the wife and she didn’t really want anything to do with what we were teaching, but the spirit opened her heart and we had a lesson with the family! I worked with the man, the myth, the legend… Elder Halls! It was awesome and we found so many people. One was a guy named William! William is drinking 3 liters of wine and 2 liters of beer daily! Crazy! I don’t even drink that much water! Hahaha, but he wants to change his life. He read the Book of Mormon for 5 hours straight! We had an amazing lesson with him… He is going to be baptized!!
Wednesday - Friday
Wednesday we went to Montevideo! I’m officially Uruguayan! I signed and we ate the best pizza in Uruguay. It was a 6 hour bus ride there, and another 6 hours back! Haha. Thursday we traveled to Minas, which is 4 hours away for a conference. The conference was amazing! President Eddy is truly a man of God. So we returned that day and that means I rode a bus for 20 hours in 2 days. Crazy! Later we taught and gave Duby a blessing, which was amazing! We also taught Alicia. Alicia has the cutest daughter! Please pray for Alicia, she is awesome! Friday we taught William. This guy is awesome! He’s been progressing like crazy! We gave him a blessing, it was super spiritual! After we played futbol and I am finally getting better! I scored two goals! Haha improvement
Saturday - Sunday
Saturday was the day! I did a ton of leg workouts on Friday and well… I learned that legs being sore and the mission don’t work well together! I was like a zombie walking haha! We had a Noche de hogar, which was incredible and taught a ton of people! There was a huge futbol game, so it was super hard to get inside the door to have a lesson. Sunday was a crazy spiritual day! We had 5 people come to church! We taught William and he continues to progress. He has the tiniest house and is super humble. After the lesson with William, we taught Duby. Duby was super mad at the Church because we won’t give him money for his rent. We changed the topic to Christ and talked about the Atonement and how He suffered for us. He softened up and almost started to cry… There is such power in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. We gave him a blessing… The Spirit was definitely working through me. Duby changed and the Spirit was so strong… it was amazing!
Remember we are not alone! Trust, obey, and then receive!
Love you all,
