Lots of miracles passed by this week.
Our investigator Carlos Cardenas accepted a date to be baptized on the 10th of November. You can see that he's ready. He's been coming to church for a straight month now. He comes to church so excited to learn. He told me that this is where he wants to be. I love to see that in people! He has lots of things to worry about right now since he's trying to start up a business and take care of his family. Nevertheless he has so much faith and continues to come to church each Sunday because he can feel it in his heart that this is the true church of God.
We had intercambios this week and I was with Elder McKay. He's from Utah and being trained right now. Towards the end of the day we saw so many miracles. We had a lesson with a lady named Norma Bustos. She is 30 years old and has attended church a few times now. Norma has a many doubts about the church. Starting with all of the "rules" that we have. We explained to her that all of these things are commandments of God and that we have the choice to obey them and receive blessings or Disobey them and not enjoy the blessings. She still wasn't very convinced. we decided to move the subject over to the Book of Mormon. We testified to her that if she reads and prays to know if the Book of Mormon is true that she will come to know that these commandments that we have been given are there to bless us. She calmly responded and told us that she would". I'm excited to see how it went! I was amazed to see how rapidly she calmed down after we gave her the tool to find answers to all of her questions. The gospel is simple. We shouldn't ever complicate things, because that's how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is meant to be! Your testimony can be a few words, but having the spirit with you to testify of those words is enough to convert thousands of souls unto the Lord.
Later that night we had another teaching appointment with a lady named Diana. She has been attending our English classes that offer during the week. We were able to teach her about the Book of Mormon and she had a lot of questions and doubts about it. When we walked into that appointment it felt as if she was trying to ask questions to prove the Book of Mormon wrong and to find a fault in the Book. She was also concerned that it didn't talk about the Virgin Mary. (Everyone we run into out here is Catholic...) One by one we were able to answer every single question she had. After each question, you could see her starting to relax little by little. It was a really cool lesson. At the end we invited her to read the Book of Mormon and ask God in prayer if it's true. She must of liked the lesson because she invited us to come back again. Doctrine and Covenants 100:5 was definitely fulfilled in that lesson. This is the Lords Work.
I read a scripture that I really liked today. It's in Mormon 9:21;27 HAVE FAITH DOUBTING NOTHING.
Have a great week! I love y'all!
