Per usual, i have very little time but here it goes!!
This past week my companion and i were contacting and we knocked on a door, a man answered and informed us he was a less active member but he welcomed us in and we taught him a lesson. He hasn't been to church long enough to think Hinckley is our current prophet, and was baptized 15 years ago. We returned about a week later and he shared with us that the day we met him, he had been praying to God saying, in Spanish, "father please help me, I don't feel good and I need your help, please send angels or someone to help me." He finished his prayer, got up to get a glass of water, and right then we knocked on his door. He said we are his angels. I love this story for two reasons, 1. God hears every prayer. Prayers of members, non members, less actives, children, and old people. He hears EVERY PRAYER, and he is WAITING for us to plead for him to help because he wants us to receive it so badly, sometimes we have to wait to practice faith, but we always receive it, and 2. He made me an instrument in his hands. Let me tell you i have a LOTTTTT of work to do to become a good missionary, to become His disciple, but God took my weaknesses and flaws and mistakes and turned them into strengths, just like he'll do for all of us if well only serve him.
I also read Joseph Smith history this week, its really short but its SO cool! How amazing is it that God manifested himself upon the
Earth for the restoration? There is only one other time written that God visited the earth, but he visited for the prayer of a 14 year old boy because its THAT important. Please go reread it, it filled me with such peace.
There's a lot of fun stuff i want to write but no time, but WHEN I GET A PHONE ILL BE BETTER also i finally have some pictures but cant send them today lol, next week it is!
Vaya bien,
