This week, I made myself a challange. Everyday, I studied one attribute of Jesus Christ, and I focused on developing just one Christ-like attribute, definitely was challenged this week but it helped me focus on what is really important on the mission, becoming like Christ
On Tuesday, we had an "almost miracle", now what does that mean you might ask, les explico. So basically on Tuesday I studied about FAITH! Now we all know whenever we try developing a Christ-like attribute we end up getting shown just how far we are from him. Because boy oh boy my faith was tested. Me and my comp were insistent that we were gonna find someone to put on date for bappy, welp 80 contacts and 0 new people later and we were like bruhhhhh. It was 8 pm and we decided to put our faith to the test and keep knocking. That was until we knocked on Laura's house...
So basically we knock on this door and the first words we hear are "ooo missionaries come in", and me and my comp just looked up to the sky and said "hallelujah", so we enter this house and its a narrllyyyyy family of 6. We sing a hymn, everyone's paying mad attention we were like what is happening rn. Everything was going well till we started talking about baptism. Then the mom started arguing with us how the Catholic Church has it right and its the true church. And the spirit was started to leave so i said "hold up hold up hold up, give us 5 minutes then we can leave", I looked at my comp gave him the little nod, and we then proceeded to teach the most POWERFUL restoration lesson I've ever taught in my mission in 5 minutes, when i got to saying The First Vision I made sure i said it REALLLLLL slow, emphasized every word, and to this day might've been the strongest I've ever felt the spirit. Like it seemed when I was saying The First Vision, everything went still, you could like hear crickets chirping it was nuts. And in my mind im like "hehehe we gotemmm" But after we invited them to read and pray they said no, so we ended up leaving kinda sad, but I know every single person gained a testimony of the restoration in that house even though they chose to reject our invitation. But that experience strengthened my what was already testimony of that this is the true church
Other news that happened, Natalia (super elect lady) randomly sent us a text one day and said she saw anti-church videos on Youtube and didn't want to get baptized anymore. I was like bruhhhh what you doinnnn, so we went and talked to her, and I shared a quote from President Nelson's "Think Celestial" talk that says don't find answers to your doubts from other doubters. She was like you right you right sorry for overreacting and blocking you guys on WhatsApp, so dont worry shes getting baptized on Saturday
We brought someone new to church this week, he really liked it, hes getting baptized next Sunday
Also Juan Cruz will probably get baptized this Saturday too
After 2 long months of planting seeds day after day, we will finally be harvesting this weekend
Had a stake conference and my old mission president, now area 70, was there, it was a nutty reunion. So our stake conference persisted of our new mission president giving a talk, and our old mission president giving a talk, straight barz
