Historias buenas y una historia demasiada Buena

   

   We were with a member family this Saturday eating lunch with them. We then proceeded to have a lesson afterwards about faith is what drives us to keep the commandments. We asked them, “Why does God give us commandments?” Maria the mom then answered. “He gives us commandments to strengthen the desire to gain faith,” which was a very good thought, then she went into using the faith of others.  As she continued talking she went into worthiness, still good a very good thought. She then went on about priesthood blessings, wow she's very good at summarizing and adding more. Then she said, "Cuando pido por una bendición de sacerdocio, siempre pido que un misionero lo hace. Porque ustedes son más puros que los hombres casados. Ustedes están cumpliendo todos los mandamientos del señor mientras los hombres no cumplen los mandamientos." (Google translate) "When I ask for a blessing of the priesthood, always I ask a missionary makes it. Because you are more pure than married men. "You are fulfilling all the commandments of the Lord while those men not meet them commandments."  Her husband then said, "¡Gracias!"

    This week we've seen many blessings. While we were walking down the street we saw a member that hasn't been at church for a long time. We talked and then we went to a cafe to have a coke with her. When we got there she saw one of her friends who wanted to talk with us. Her name is Vivian and we have another time set up to see her. As we were leaving this cafe one of the families we're teaching came in and said they have some friends that want to hear us also. We met this family last Friday and they are prepared to listen to the restored gospel. Their names are Paco, Cristina, and their fat six month daughter Cristina.

     But this week was amazing and I have nothing else to say but I know that the spirit of God is here with us. I love these people so much and I don't want to leave. But wherever we are God will bless us with the happiness that comes according to our faith in him.
