Hola Everyone!
This week was so so great! Cinthia was baptized on Saturday and confirmed yesterday! Everything came out great. She is truly converted. She bore her testimony yesterday in church and it was so awesome. She said that at first when we found her, she didn't want to listen and she rejected us. But then, a bunch of really bad things started to happen in her life and in her worst moment, we came and knocked on her door again. She took that as an answer from God and decided to start reading the Book of Mormon and praying for the first time in her life. She shared that from that moment on, a ton of good things have happened in her life and she was able to receive a testimony of the Book of Mormon. She is so awesome! She invited a ton of friends to her baptism and now we're gonna teach them all! BUT, the best part of the story she doesnt know. We had already decided that we weren't going to keep visiting Cinthia because she "rejected" us by not keeping any committments and not coming to church. About two weeks after that decision, Elder Bernal and I felt a prompting that we shoud go visit her again. We were both so frustrated because she had truly let us down before and because of our pride we didn't want to go back, BUT WE FOLLOWED THE PROMPTING. The Lord sent us to Cinthia in her poorest moment and we were able to be tools in His hands to help her return to the fold. So awesome. The Lord tuly guides us if we are worthy and listen: I love this work!
Transfers happened today and Elder Bernal was sent to Plottier in the way north. I will stay here in Esquel as Zone Leader with my new companion Elder Villa. He's a Mexican from the US and he's a beast. We already knew each other from San Martin and I'm really excited to work with him. We're gonna keep changing this branch and being tools in the Lord´s hand as we ACT upon the promptings of the Spirit!
Love you and miss you all. I hope all is well. Till next week!
Elder Reilly
