A Changed and Repentant Missionary

Hello

Como esta? This last week has truly been phenomenal. We have seen miracle upon miracle, Jose baptized and confirmed and so so much potential. Its truly incredible. A member recently had a friend move in Andres, and we are going to begin to teach him this week.

But I think the most amazing things that have been going on have been within the whole district. Just everyone has begun to see success and fruits of their labors. M from Molina, M from Barrio 2, A, so many people, I've really felt an excitement in our wards and district. Things are popping down here.

In addition to all of this, I walked away from zone conference a changed and repentant missionary. I think the Lord had many things for me to learn from this meeting. I feel the Lord answered the questions Ive had and how I need to change. I need to focus so much more on the members i have honestly been just too impatient with them and the little fruits that they render I hadn't been really seeking to try and involve them. Though when we spoke about how it's about conversion, not numbers I think my attitude changed. I felt a light bulb flicker on. It doesn't matter who or where they're at on the conversion process, if i am helping them towards Christ I am completing my purpose.

I think really the best part of my week wasn't even the Baptism of J, as much as it was amazing.

We had a lesson with this chica who didn't

really have any belief in God, and we managed to bring two members who were struggling as of late in their desires to attend the chapel, and felt a little deflated spiritually.

Yet, as we taught and the spirit entered the lesson, their attitudes and feelings changed. They teared up and testified of the truthfulness of our words. It was incredible.

The chica is not interested, but the members walked away with their own powerful reminder of their conversion.

All my love!

Keep working hard.
