Wow the weeks just go so fast I can't believe it! This was a great
week!! We saw some awesome miracles on the street, yesterday we got
out of our car and stopped a man named Santiago. It turns out he had
been visited by he missionaries in the past and he was like "I was
preparing myself to be baptized but then I had to move here to San
ysidro and I lost contact with them" We invited him to be baptized on
August 6th and he said yes! He is excited to come to church and start
meeting with us.
Mid conversation with Santigo another man named Antonio passed and we
noticed that he had a torn up bible in his hands so we stopped him as
well and turned it into a nice little group conversation where we were
able to teach them both about the restoration and invite them to read
the Book of Mormon.
Everyone here is always really intrigued by the "castle" off the side
of the freeway in la Jolla (the temple) so that's always a good way
for us to catch people's attention. We shared a little with them about
the temple and they both want to prepare to go inside!
This morning I read one of my favorite scriptures and it reminded me
of the importance of having the spirit in our lives.
D&C 11:12-13 "And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your
trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good--yea, to do justly, to
walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit. Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I will impart unto you of my Spirit, which
shall enlighten your mind, which shall fill your soul with joy;"
If we keep the commandments and take the sacrament worthily, we will
be able to qualify for the companionship of the Holy Ghost that will
guide us, enlighten us, and bring us joy. What a wonderful gift!!
I love being a missionary an recognizing the Lord's hand in everyday.
Thanks for the support and love! I am praying for all of you!!
