Holaaaaa
I hope you all are doing good. This week was a little crazy...We had a conference in Posadas which was about a 5 hour bus ride on Wednesday. We left on Tuesday and then had the conference on Wednesday and then headed back to El Dorado. It was a little crazy but a really cool conference. Elder Cardus a seventy came and talked with us. The conference was a lot about obedience and how when we are obedient the Lord blesses us and allows us to have the Spirit. The Spirit is probably the most important thing about the gospel and if it's not there, really we can't be effective missionaries.
These past few weeks we were able to see how the Spirit can work through us and help us find those in need of the gospel in their lives. We were walking one day this week planning on going to visit a few people in an area a little far away but the people we were going to visit weren't there. So we thought about visiting another person we had visited before and walked over to her house to find out that there was no one home there either. Honestly, I was a little ticked. I think my comp as well as we didn't know what to do. So we looked at each and decided we were gonna go contact and find a lesson. We got walking on a nearby street that we had never taken before, and passed a cross in the road. I don't know why but we decided to keep going straight. We kept walking until almost the end when we felt we should contact the house. Without even basically saying who we were,
a lady came outside and told us to come in. We came out to her porch and met a lady who told us a story about how she talked to the missionareis about 5 years ago and then moved houses and basically never had much contact with the church ever since. We got to takng about the Plan of Salvation and she really didn't know why she was here on the earth nor where she would go after this life. We explained to her about the great plan Heavenly Father has in store for us and how we can live with our families for ever. She just kept on smiling and at the end told us we could come back tomorrow to teach her more. I know the Spirit was guiding us that day and that Heavenly Father has a plan for us all. Sometimes we don't know why something isnt going our way or why something has happened but if we keep going forward and do our part, Heavenly Father will help us find what we need. The plan is real! I know it is and that this is His work! Have a good week, Love you all!
