Carlos

This week was great mom. We saw some crazy miracles with German. We saw a video of Christ getting baptized, and he was super committed after that.

Then we taught him the law of tithing yesterday, and he asked us if he could pay tithing even if he's not a member,  haha.

Then we kept teaching other commandments and he just kept telling us how he was going to do it, because he has alreay decided that he is going to change!!

And the other tender mercy of the Lord was when we went to go do service with other elders and we ended up finding an ol friend of my crispy uncle Ben!! Carlos, they call him Bronco, haha. He told us how he used to go fishing with them all the time. And how Ben was his witness at his marriage. It was so cool, I didn't even know that I was going to find him. It was wonderful. It was a miracle"!! because I wasn't even expecting it!!

The lord has a perfect plan for all! it's so beautiful!!

We don't truly fail, until we give up

Well this week has been great with my new comp Elder Sanchez. We have been talking of our old young lives, haha!

It was so fun. We have seen many miricales with one our favoritest investigators. German!!!

We taught him the plan of salvation this past week and wow was it such a miricale to see him progress!! I loved it!! He totally understoood it all as we taught him with love, we saw his mind open up.

He came to church for the third time yersterday. He asked us yesterday, what he needs so that he can be baptized quicker haha. Then he wanted to know what he needed , and we told him the towel and sandals and the broken heart and amazing desire that he has! Was it was great, when he said, I will be baptized for sure! He has really helped me with my testimony of Grace as I have learned more of what it really means! As we don't need to understand all things, niether do we need to give our best, because who really can give their all? only Christ can. HE only asks us to keep trying and to keep practicing so that we can learn heaven not earn it. He is there every step of the way!!

He doesn't just wait till the end of the finish line, but he is pushing every step of the way! His grace transforms us.

We don't truly fail, until we give up.

Give Him all the Glory

Wow was this week crazy mom.  So I got super sick starting off the week. For 3 days. the last day was Thursday or Friday.. but it was the best way that the Lord could have humbled me haha. However, I learned a ton on a split with Elder Baum, it was great. I was on the toliet all day, but we got to talk and listen to great talks together, learning about the grace of God. What it really is and when it is received. It was so strengthening!!! and how I need to not worry so much haha and to trust in God more. Those simple things that we always forget about.. and I was just a lot more happy and calm from then on.
And just then the branch president gave us a refferal. His name is German! He is super humble and ready to change!! that's all that he tells us, is that he wants to change. Even though he does understudand too much. He wants to change. It was wonderful to see him there early at chruch ready to listen. It was wonderful to see him so attentive in everything even though it was all super confusing for him ahaha.

But he accepted a bapismal date!! It was wonderful.

I love him so much!! I wantd to just show him his futrue, how it would be like is he were to keep listening!!!

he was straight from the grace of god!! that was the best part, as we trust in him and let him do the work and give him all the glory!! it will all go under His dirrection and plan! which is the best part!

I love you mom and I know that you do that. You have the trust. I hope you have a great birthday!!!


love your son
