I´m
a little confused about the primary letters you want me to send. When
do you want me to send them, and to who? My ponderize scripture this
week is 2 Nephi 33:10-11. I only have my scriptures in Spanish with me,
so I can´t write it, but I love this testimony by Nephi. He testifies
with all of his heart that the Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ
and that they are actually the words of Jesus Christ. There are many
people who say they believe in Jesus Christ and don´t accept the Book of
Mormon. That´s not possible. It´s only possible to have a true and
everlasting testimony of our Savior by reading, pondering, and loving
the Book of Mormon.
This
week was unbelievable and FULL of miracles. I would like to share two
with you guys. The first one happened last week. I was studying in
Preach My Gospel about Finding People to Teach. It teaches us that we
must pray that the Lord will guide us to the people that are looking for
the truth and we must also pray that the Lord guide these people to us.
I thought about those suggestions and I decided to put it in better
practice. As we left the apartment that day, I remember specifically
praying for someone to come to us that was looking for the truth. It was
a simple pray, but I truly wanted to put my trust more fully in the
Lord. We walked a few blocks and we were waiting in a bus stop. We were
waiting for the bus for about 3 minutes and a car passed us, turned the
corner and stopped. The man got out of his car and walked towards us. He
had a catholic necklace on and he asked us if we were Mormons. We said
yes and he said, "Perfect, I have a family for you guys that you need to
visit and teach." At this point the bus had arrived. The man wrote the
direction of the family´s home in our agenda and left. We got on the bus
and I was in Aw. Had the Lord actually answered my prayer so quickly?
It was a miracle right before my eyes. I thanked the Lord for what He
had blessed us with. The direction to the family´s home wasn´t in our
area so we passed the referral to other missionaries. I have no idea
what happened with this family yet, but I know without a doubt that the
Lord knows them and is watching out for them.
The
other miracle happened with MariLu Menendez! We have been praying and
praying for MariLu because she is so prepared but she wants to get
baptized with her family. Her family still needs more preparation. She
came by herself this Sunday to Church and it was the Primary Program.
The program was incredible. The children talked a lot about baptism and
the importance of the baptismal covenant in God´s Plan. Afterwards, in
the Gospel Principles class, we talked about Eternal Marriage. The
Spirit was incredible as we talked about temples and the blessings of
temples. I remembered thinking in that class the thought that came to my
mind. It came to my mind about 3 times. I thought, invite MariLu to baptism again after the class for the 5th of December. The
thought came to my mind more than once, so I was determined to do it
again. The class ended, we exited the room and I walked up to MariLu in
the hallway, I asked her how the class was and she answered me by
saying. "I´m going to get baptized this Saturday." I couldn´t believe
what she had just said to me. I didn´t even have to invite her, the
Spirit did it for me. I was filled with happiness, I can´t even explain
it! I told some of the members and they were just as happy! I´m so
excited for this weekend. Please keep MariLu in your prayers!
Thanks
for all the love and support! I appreciate all the prayers in my
behalf. I´m truly blessed to have so much love and support in my life!
Love, Elder Bosco II
