ON FIRE 4/25

Hello family and friends!!! Wow what a week, let me tell you, God is merciful. We have seen so many amazing miracles I don't even know where to start. So our investigator Flora, (we've been teaching her for a about a month now) has been progressing greatly, we have talked to her about baptism. We set a fecha (date) but she was unsure and wanted to wait a while, so we invited her to think about a date and pray to know if it's what she should do. Well, we met with her last Friday and we had a member come with us. The members name is Karen, she's from Peru, so she speaks Spanish but she was raised in Utah. Wow, what a blessing it was to have her there. We only talked about the fact of the importance of scripture study and prayer and the spirit was so strong. The next Monday we met with Flora again and she said she felt she was ready to get baptized, so we set the fecha for May 5th! We are so excited to teach her about temples now and get her excited about the next step.

Next miracle we saw, last Thursday we contacted a man on the street, his name is Luis and he's from Colombia. Well he was very excited when we contacted him and invited us to teach him then and there. We taught him the Book of Mormon and in this lesson he told us he had been attending another Christian church but he felt that it wasn't enough, that there was something more. He had been praying for a month to be able to find the right church and we were put in his path. He loved church on Sunday, he loved the organization and the messages. We taught him the restoration and he loved it. He also has a fecha (baptism date) for May 5 and he told us he's going to pray everyday so he can be firm in his decision.

Next miracle we saw!! About a week and a half ago we contacted a man named Nestor in the street and we set a visit with him for a week later. Well we met with him and he immediately started telling us a dream he had that was very similar to Lehis vision of the tree of life. We read with him right then and there 1 Nephi 8 and he started to cry. He told us he knows God is calling him and he needs to find the right way in his life.

What amazing miracles we have seen! I have loved witnessing the Lords hand in the work.

Well I was reading in the New Testament this week and I read in Acts 8:26-40. It is talking about missionary work. Philip follows spiritual prompting time and time again without any second guesses and he is able to be an instrument in the Lord’s hand in the work of the Lord. I loved reading this story as I was thinking about the talk by our prophet, "Revelation for the church, revelation for our lives." It is so important to be able to learn how to receive and act on spiritual promptings. If we obtain this skill we will be effective tools in His hands.

Love you all,
