This
was another good week here in Santa Isabel. We were super busy with
work visits and running and looking around for partidas de nacimiento
(birth certificates) to marry and baptize about 5 families in our zone.
Its been crazy! But with the grace of God nothing is impossible. I have been
thinking a lot about that this week; just how powerful the grace of God
really is. After doing all we can (after having looked for partidas for
hours and making endless phone calls to different government buildings
all over Peru) small miracles are happening to make it possible to marry
these families so that can keep the law of chastity and be baptized. I
feel like I've learned a lot this week about grace and that it will only
help us and work miracles in our lives after we have literally done all
we can. I am so grateful for Jesucristo and the love that He shares with
each and every one of us. I really do know that He is our Savior.
I
was also able to interview one of the investigators from the Progreso
area. His name is Kevin. He is only 24 but has had a pretty rough life.
The Spirit was super strong in the interview as we talked about the
doctrine of Christ. He has made very big changes in his life. At one time
he considered himself to be atheist, but as he began to look for more
meaning in his life, little by little he began to change. He now believes in God and wants to be baptized! It is amazing what a little bit
of faith does when you put it to the test!
It
was also our first Consejo Misional with Presidente. Godfrey and it was a lot
different than our Consejos misionales with Presidente Erickson! They are very
different personality wise but I know that Presidente Godfrey is going to be
great. He loves to interact with the missionaries. For example, on
Thursday he called us just to pass us a reference, it was pretty cool to
see him so excited about missionary work and to see that he is totally
into his calling. Tomorrow our zone has interviews with him and Hermana
Godfrey is going to do the room revisions.
Well, that is about all for this week! ¡Que tengan una buena semana!
